The immersive sim genre is one of the more underrepresented in the industry, owing to its complex and multi-layered nature alongside the fact that past successes have failed to hit the heights which shareholders demand. One team which was dedicated to the genre however was Arkane. In the wake of the closure of its Austin branch, a new studio has risen, with veterans Harvey Smith and Ricardo Bare announcing ‘Black Pony Immersive’.
In an interview with the publication TheGameBusiness, ex-Arkane co-studio head and immersive sim icon Harvey Smith announced that he has opened up a brand new studio alongside Ricardo Bare.
Named Black Pony Immersive, it is quite clear what the newly established studio will be focused on, with the team stating: “We want to make immersive sims. We want to make single player, narrative driven, first person games where you explore and solve problems creatively. Think Deus Ex, think Dishonored, that's what we're doing.”
While things remain in its early stages for now (having officially formed just a year ago and currently comprising of 26 developers), Black Pony Immersive includes plenty of talent.
For the uninitiated, not only is Harvey Smith known for his extensive work on the Dishonored series, but the creative has had a hand in many of the biggest games in the immersive sim genre going as far back as the original 1994 System Shock. Smith was also the lead game designer for the 2000 classic Deus Ex and even served as a game designer for 2004’s Thief Deadly Shadows.
The full interview with Smith and co. can be found HERE, and includes their thoughts on the immersive sim genre, the current state of the industry and much more.

Lian Li already makes some of the best‑looking ARGB fans on the market, but today the company is adding to the roster with the new UNI FAN FLEX series, introducing updated SL FLEX and CL FLEX models.
The new SL FLEX and CL FLEX fans form the entry point to Lian Li’s wireless ecosystem, connecting through the updated FLEX Receiver. The receiver handles power via a standard 4‑pin PWM header and communicates wirelessly through L‑Connect 3, allowing users to control lighting and fan curves without additional cabling. It also supports a 5V 3‑pin ARGB mode for those who prefer motherboard‑controlled lighting. Each receiver can run up to four fans and is backward compatible with previous CL Wireless models.
The UNI FAN SL FLEX receives the biggest visual update, replacing its aluminium side plates with dual‑sided infinity‑mirror lighting. It features two lighting zones with 52 LEDs and operates at up to 2000 RPM, delivering 66.5CFM of airflow, 2.5mmH2O of static pressure and 29dBA. Standard and reverse‑airflow versions are available in both black and white.
The CL FLEX retains its established design but now ships with the FLEX Receiver for expanded control options. It reaches up to 2100 RPM and pushes 77.34CFM at 2.52mmH2O, making it the higher‑airflow option in the FLEX family. Like the SL FLEX, it comes in standard and reverse‑airflow variants.
Triple‑fan packs include the L‑Wireless Sync Controller, supporting up to 10 connected devices rather than four. The UNI FAN SL FLEX and CL FLEX are available starting today, priced at $21.99 / $69.99 for SL FLEX single / triple packs and $16.99 / $54.99 for CL FLEX single or triple packs.
KitGuru Says: Lian Li’s UNI FAN lineup has been hugely popular for both aesthetics and ease of installation. The new FLEX models look set to continue that trend, allowing PC builders to cut down on cables even further.
Lian Li has introduced the UNI FAN FLEX series, built around its updated FLEX Receiver platform for wireless and wired control, with a plethora of new TL FLEX and SL INF FLEX models to choose from.
The series is split into the TL FLEX and SL INF FLEX product lines. The SL INF FLEX models differ mainly through their RGB blade design, infinity mirror and dual‑sided frame layout. Lian Li also offers LCD variants, the UNI FAN TL LCD FLEX and SL‑INF LCD FLEX, each equipped with a 1.8‑inch 400×400 display running at 60Hz with 500‑nit brightness and 512MB of onboard storage for animations and system readouts.
Connecting the optional USB cable enables full media uploads, including GIF and MP4 files, and provides direct control over lighting and fan speed without relying on wireless communication. The FLEX Receiver is powered via your motherboard's 12V PWM header and supports both L‑Wireless control and standard motherboard synchronisation via a 5V 3‑pin ARGB connection.
Performance varies across the lineup. The standard TL FLEX models use LCP blades and fluid‑dynamic bearings, reaching up to 2600RPM with 90CFM of airflow and 3.97mmH2O of static pressure. The SL INF FLEX fans top out at 2300RPM, delivering 67CFM and 3.4mmH2O. LCD variants run slightly slower due to the integrated display, with TL LCD FLEX models capped at 1900RPM and SL INF LCD FLEX models at 2000RPM. Reverse‑airflow versions are also available, so there is an option for just about every preference.
Both the TL FLEX and SL INF FLEX lines are now available, starting at £27 for a single TL FLEX fan, going all the way up to £126 for a 3‑pack of SL INF LCD FLEX models.
KItGuru Says: Which of these fans would you choose for a new PC build?
Making the surprise announcement, EA / Respawn officially unveiled their Apex Legends x Cyberpunk Event. Going live on the 14th of July (and running until the 4th of August), this crossover features far more than just some collab skins, with the E-District being transformed into Night City. The event also adds in two new ‘cyberware mods’:
Sandevistan (allowing you to dash in any direction multiple times)
Blackwater breach (giving you teleport / EMP abilities)
These all tie into the mode’s cyberware capacity mechanic, in which picking up too many upgrades can cause you to “go full Cyberpsycho and become a high-speed melee monster.”
Of course, this event also brings with it a ton of cosmetics – some paid and others free-to-earn. Alongside various weapon skins, 8 different cosmetic packs are available for different Legends:
Axle (Lucy)
Sparrow (David)
Lifeline (V)
Crypto (V)
Rampart (Rebecca)
Loba (Panam)
Ash (Lizzy Wizzy)
Gibraltar (Royce)
Unlike the event itself, these cosmetics will be available to purchase up until the 18th of August. While some of these skins are seemingly better than others, Apex Legends tends to have its crossovers embrace more of a cosplay-style of look, as opposed to bringing in the character themselves.
Either way, this crossover looks to have quite a bit of work put into it. Hopefully the new LTM is fun to play.
KitGuru says: What do you think of this announcement? Did you expect these two franchises to crossover? Which skin looks the best in your opinion? Let us know down below.
While at Computex 2026, Leo had a chance to chat with AMD's Bill Alverson to get more details on the new AMD EXPO Ultra Low Latency memory profiles. We also spend some time checking out an LN2-colled RX 9060 XT and get a first-hand look at an overclocking world record being broken.

At the top of our list is the new Freezer 61 CPU cooler, available in black or white colour options, as well as with or without ARGB lighting. These are dual-tower air coolers, equipped with a P14 Pro Reverse fan in the middle, and a P12 Pro ARGB fan on the outside.
Arctic has another range of fans worth mentioning today – the new Bionix P12 and P14. These fans add daisychain support to the mix, so you can power up to three fans with a single cable. Each fan is also kitted out with 16 individual ARGB LEDs.
Arctic also has its new fan controller, capable of controlling up to ten fans. Using the correct software, in this case they are using the SignalRGB app, you can have individual fan curves and speeds set for all ten fans in the hub. It should only cost around €15 too, which seems like a bargain.
The Arctic Xtender chassis series is now being joined by a new Mini option. This is a Micro-ATX model, with four pre-installed fans out of the box, but support for up to seven case fans in total. This new version will be shipping later this year and should also be available in bundles with the Liquid Freezer 3 Pro AIO cooler, which could be very handy for a new PC build.
KitGuru Says: What did you think of Arctic's line-up for Computex this year?
At Computex earlier this month, we visited Adata XPG to get a look at their new consumer-oriented products, including new CPU coolers, PC cases, gaming monitors and more.

06:23 Peripherals
Adata's gaming focused brand XPG had a lot to show for the consumer market over the next few months.
At the top of our list is the new XPG Invader X 2 and Valor Air 2 PC cases. The Invader is a compact case with a wrap-around glass window so you can see your build from multiple angles. While most cases like this don't offer a hinge, the Invader X 2 actually does, so you can easily swing the window off to make adjustments inside the case. The Valor Air 2 has a similar layout, trading in some of the glass for extra mesh intakes and fan slots at the front.
There are multiple XPG power supply ranges hitting the market. The Core Reactor 3 series offers 80Plus Gold efficiency and modular cables. This is the same power supply you'll also find inside of Razer's external GPU products.
On the peripheral front we have the XPG Seeker and XPG Slingshot. The Seeker is a wireless keyboard, offering membrane low-profile keys, but with 34 hours of wireless battery life with a minimal six-minute charging time. The Slingshot is XPG's lightweight wireless gaming mouse, coming in at 55g, with up to 4000DPI on the sensor, 42 hours of battery life on a single charge.
For cooling, the XPG Maestro Infinity 62DA could be a good option for anyone who wants to go with an air cooler over an AIO. It offers a dual tower heatsink to target high-TDP processors, with ARGB lighting on the fans and around the infinity mirror on the top cover. If you'd rather have an integrated display covering the heatsink, then the Maestro View 62DA is for you.
Finally, XPG is also releasing gaming monitors now. At the Computex stand we saw the Aperture A27F4, which uses a Fast IPS HD panel with up to 240Hz refresh rate. The Aperture A27Q1 is a step above, offering a QHD Fast IPS panel instead.

In our latest Computex 2026 video, Leo checks out all the latest from Lian Li, including the new Lancool 207 XL, the new 011D EVO RGB V2, as well as new coolers and the latest updates to the Uni Fan range.
The 011D EVO RGB V2 changes things up with a removable glass panel that separates your AIO CPU cooler from the rest of the build, effectively creating a third chamber, with its own airflow path that doesn't interfere with the cooling for the rest of your system. The glass panel is removable, so you can have a full glass front with no mesh and have a more conventional layout inside of the case if you prefer. This case is expected hit the market soon at around $170.
The UX100 is a new mid-tower adopting the newly emerging ‘floating' design, where the main chamber has a little cut out that separates it from the basement compartment for additional airflow channels to the main section of the case. The basement compartment is where your power supply lives, separated from all of your main components. The main section also has a wrap-around glass front panel, so there is no pillar obstructing the view of your build. The example builds we saw on display looked very nice, so this is definitely one to watch if you have lots of RGB.
On the Lancool front, Lian Li has a new Lancool 207 XL version hitting the market. This one incorporates a pair of newly designed bottom-mounted cross-flow fans, which direct cool air directly towards the PCIe slots. It is targeting a pretty good price point too at $110.
The new Lian Li HydroShift 2 OLED AIO coolers were announced a few weeks ahead of Computex, but we were able to get a much closer look at it here at Computex. It looked great in many different builds, particularly with custom animations made to take advantage of the curved panel.
On top of all that, Lian Li has the new Uni Fan Flex series, including LCD variants that use a 1.8‑inch 400×400 display at the centre of the fan. These looked great when we saw them last year, and that continues to be the case with the latest versions.
KitGuru says: What did you like most from Lian Li at Computex this year?
At Computex last week, we caught up with Enermax to see their fresh line-up of cooling hardware, including their first pumpless AIO, along with new PC and workstation cases and power supplies.

02:52 Mariner Series of AIO
03:36 SuperX Digital Power partnership
We saw one other pumpless AIO unit at Computex this week over in the Noctua booth. Enermax is doing something similar with the PFA (Pump Free AIO) prototype. With this cooler, you get a two-phase, vapor chamber cooling design, where vapor is channeled up to the radiator to condense, before liquid travels back down another channel towards the CPU block. The idea here would be to eliminate noise, as well as eliminate potential long-term failure issues with mechanical parts like a pump. This tech isn't ready to hit the market just yet, but it will be interesting to see further developments.
For high-power workstations, the Mariner WST‑360E and WST‑360P coolers offer full‑coverage for HEDT processors, targeting up to 650W TDP and 800W TDP respectively. Enermax is also expanding its fan portfolio with the PF‑II 120, a 28mm‑thick aluminium‑frame model using LCP blades and a three‑phase motor for high‑speed stability.
The MaxTytan II 1650W ATX 3.1 PSU refreshes Enermax’s flagship line with Titanium‑grade efficiency, dual native 12V‑2×6 connectors and support for 235% power excursions, all backed by a 13‑year warranty.
On the chassis side, we have the new Enclave ATX and K9M Micro‑ATX cases. Both are built around panoramic tempered‑glass layouts that emphasise hardware visibility and modern cable‑management expectations. The Enclave ATX is the larger model, supporting up to three 360mm radiators simultaneously and shipping with seven pre‑installed ARGB PWM fans and an integrated lighting controller. The K9M is a more compact option for those building a Micro-ATX system.

03:36 New Sudokoo cases!
05:20 The AIO range
At the top of the list, we have Sudokoo's first white LCP-based performance fans, the MACH 120 / 140 WH. The Mach fans are built with a focus on delivering strong heatsink and radiator performance, making them ideal for CPU coolers. Sudokoo uses them throughout its cooling line-up, as you'll see from the other products we look at today.
For CPU air cooling, Sudokoo has the SK700V VC MACH, which is a new version of the SK700 with a vapor chamber base, cooled by a 30mm-thick MACH120 fan. There is also the MACH820 cooler, which also sports a vapor chamber design, but with an even thicker and larger 140mm fan. For AIOs, Sudokoo has the Energlo series, which sport thick CPU blocks with integrated displays on the front to show CPU temperatures, fan speeds and more, all while keeping prices at reasonable levels – a 360mm unit costs less than $100.
Sudokoo also has a new line of PC cases that we are looking forward to seeing. There are four new designs, the Lumen, Solar, Starlight and Aurora. The Lumen has a semi-covered perforated front panel for maximum airflow without the usual mesh aesthetic. The Solar swaps out the fully perforated front panel for mesh grills specifically over the two intake fans. The Aurora is Sudokoo's compact Micro-ATX option, and the Starlight is very similar to the Lumen but the IO has moved from the front to the side to make way for a cool ‘starlight' effect on the front panel.

We checked in with FSP at Computex again this year, discovering a new 3200W power supply, along with new cases and cooling gear.
Watch via YouTube below:
Timestamps:
00:06 FSP’s New PSU range
01:58 New U501 workstation chassis
02:29 Consumer gaming cases
04:18 Server/data centre chassis
FSP's big focus this year, like many other companies, is workstations and datacentre products due to the booming AI market. FSP is well prepared to serve these customers, with high-wattage PSUs like the Cannon 3300W, the Twins Pro 1400W redundant unit and the Twins CRPS 3200W. For a more conventional high-end gaming build, the Titanium-rated Mega TI 1650W might be up your alley.
Just before Computex, FSP had also announced the DSP2000-57APB, a 2000W ATX 3.1 power supply designed with dual-GPU workstations in mind, as well as multi-socket motherboards.
If you are an enterprise customer, FSP does have a micro-customisation service, so you can request adjustments to things like cable length, connector layouts and cooling behaviour to speed up new hardware integration for system builders.
On the chassis front, we saw the new U501, a newer version of the U500 workstation case with a more compact frame, extra-large intake fans for better airflow, and an integrated GPU riser to keep your graphics cards from sagging.
The U560 is a new dual-chamber case designed with gaming PCs in mind. It has a removable vent at the front for easy access to your intake fans for maintenance, and has plenty of room for AIO liquid cooling and a full-sized graphics card.
The M581 takes on the newer fishtank look, with glass panels at both the front and side for a clean multi-angle view of the build inside. It is made with hidden-connector motherboards in mind, including a power supply shelf directly behind the motherboard tray, so you can do shorter runs to make cable management easier.
For cooling, the CF36A in black and white bring a new unified fan option to FSP's line-up, with three fans connected together and powered by a single cable. The new AW36-TR5 AIO cooler targets high-power Ryzen Threadripper builds. For gamers, there is the AL36 instead, which offers Intel and AMD socket support, along with an integrated display on the CPU block. The AD36 swaps out the display for a simpler digital block display that shows CPU temperature readings.
For air cooling, we spotted the ND5 and MP9. The ND5 has a stats display integrated on top of the heatsink while keeping a slim single-tower formfactor, while the MP9 is a massive dual-tower cooler for high-TDP CPUs.

At Computex this year, G.Skill held its 12th Annual OC World Cup, putting the 12 best overclockers to the test in a series of competitive challenges. While German overclocker CENS won the grand prize last year, there was a new OC world champion for 2026 – bl4ckdot.
Moving on to new products at G.Skill's Computex booth, first we have the new active coolers for DDR5 memory, developed by Cooler Master to help reign in temperatures on newer, ultra-high-speed memory kits. G.Skill is also amongst the first memory companies to support AMD's new EXPO Low Latency tuning profile, with new Trident Z5 NeoX kits making use of it, bringing latency for DDR5-6000 down to CL26.
G.Skill wanted to shine a light on its new DDR5-9200 32GB CU-DIMM kit, delivering high speeds at just 1.1V. That's not all though, as G.Skill also has kits that break the DDR5-10000 barrier, including a 512GB R-DIMM kit for Intel Xeon systems, and a more traditional 48GB DDR5 kit running at 10933MT/s.
As with many other companies, enterprise is a bigger point of focus this year. For those customers, G.SKILL is demonstrating setups with DDR5‑8000 256GB (128GBx2) 4R CU‑DIMM, DDR5‑6400 256GB (64GBx4) ECC CU‑DIMM, and a DDR5‑8800 768GB (96GBx8) R‑DIMM setup for workstations and AI systems.

The first product we noticed at the Sharkoon booth this year was the new Steel Shark case. This is a dual-chamber ATX chassis, with panoramic tempered glass, pre-installed ARGB fans and room for dual liquid-cooling radiators. It also supports the new wave of hidden connector motherboards while keeping the price down to a reasonable €89.90. If you want a more compact version, then there is also a Steel Shark Mini G and Mini M, offering the same dual-chamber layout, but in a more compact footprint and with room for fewer case fans.
Sharkoon also has the S25 series launching soon, available in three variants. The S25‑V2 provides a clean, understated design with two pre‑installed 120mm PWM fans, while the S25‑W2 ARGB adds ARGB fans and tempered glass for showing off your internals. There is also an S25 Silent that uses sound dampening materials to reduce fan noise.
On the power supply front, Sharkoon has the Rebel P20 Gen2, offering ATX 3.1 specs and Cybenetics Gold efficiency, along with modular cables, Japanese capacitors, a native 12V-2×6 connector and capacities up to 1000W.
Finally, for peripherals Sharkoon is showing a mix of brand-new and recently-launched products. The SKILLER SGM70W is a very lightweight mouse at 49g, and it has 8K polling too, making it a very good choice for competitive multiplayer games. Next to that is the FIREGLIDER One, which also weighs in at under 50g, but offers a PAW3311 sensor instead. The Drakonia 3 mouse is aimed at MMO players with its 12 extra buttons and extra-long battery life. For keyboards, Sharkoon has the PureWriter W100, which is aimed more at work-from-home setups rather than gamers with its low-profile, typing-centric design. For audio, Sharkoon has the Stealthbite IEMs, aiming to deliver greater accuracy and detail compared to typical earbuds.

This year, Gigabyte is celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Following on from the reveal of the RTX 5090 Infinity at CES, Gigabyte now has a range of other new ‘Infinity' products on the way, including a new flagship AM5 motherboard.
The X870E Aorus Infinity Next is particularly impressive with its 64-stage VRM, vapor-chamber cooling and metal backplate. On the software side, Gigabyte has created X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 for improved per-processor tuning for the new Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition processor. There is also a cheaper, standard X870 Aorus Infinity Next motherboard, offering support for ultra high-speed DDR5 memory.
On the graphics card front, the RTX 5090 Infinity returns, but now Gigabyte is also bringing its new cooler design to RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 GPUs.
For PC cases, Gigabyte is showing the new Aorus C510 Glass Infinity, which integrates a reversible 16‑inch side display and supports massive graphics cards like the custom-cooled RTX 5090. As you would expect from a modern PC case, this one supports hidden connector motherboards.
The Gigabyte Stealth series grows with the new B850M Aorus Stealth and its ICE (white) version. This is Gigabyte's first ‘gaming-grade' B850 Micro-ATX motherboard, and as a good number of new PC cases now support hidden connector motherboards, you shouldn't have much trouble getting hold of a compatible case.
For monitors, Gigabyte has new Aorus Elite Tandem OLED and Mini LED models on the way. This includes the world's first 27-inch 5K Mini LED glossy monitor, offering ‘retina-class' PPI and sharpness to tackle the Apple crowd. It also has great specs for gaming too, with a 5K 165Hz mode, a 4K 220Hz mode and a QHD 330Hz mode.
The Aorus Elite OLED models move to 4th Gen Tandem OLED panels with a RealBlack Glossy finish and peak HDR brightness up to 1500 nits. The flagship FO32U24GP adds Dual Mode support and DP 2.1 UHBR20 connectivity, delivering up to 80Gbps of bandwidth for high‑refresh 4K. The FO27Q28G serves as a more accessible 27‑inch option.
On the software side for these new monitors, Gigabyte is introducing HyperNits to dynamically boost HDR highlights, while an AI Picture Mode can tune SDR image quality based on scene content. AI Super Resolution can upscale sub-native content on the fly and AI OLED Care will help you prolong the life of your OLED panel and avoid burn-in.
It wouldn't be 2026 without some mention of AI. This year, Gigabyte is showing new systems like the AI Top, which pair up to aa Ryzen 9 9950X with an RTX 5090 or Radeon AI Pro R9700 graphics card, but there is support here for dual-GPU configurations, which would allow the user to run even larger LLMs with up to 405 billion parameters. For those looking to bring a GPU upgrade to a portable machine, the Aorus RTX 50 AI Box is here, offering an external GPU solution for laptops or extremely small form factor systems.
Moving on to laptops, Gigabyte is launching the new Aorus Master 16, the world's slimmest X3D laptop, measuring in at just 19.9mm. This laptop packs a Ryzen 9 9955X3D and an RTX 5090 laptop GPU, along with an impressive 240Hz OLED display with HDR1000 support. Under the hood, cooling is handled by a Windforce Infinity system with a vapor-chamber, optimised airflow channels and a 230W total thermal envelope. As you would expect, this laptop is CoPilot+ certified, and can run Gigabyte's new ‘AI Agent', GiMATE. For gamers and creators, Gigabyte has the AERO X16, which packs a Ryzen AI 9 465 CPU and an RTX 5070 laptop GPU, and the Gaming A16 and A16 Pro laptops, which use Intel Core Ultra CPUs and RTX 50 GPUs.
Finally for peripherals, there is a new Aorus K10 Infinity keyboard with magnetic hall effect switches, an 8000Hz polling rate and an integrated OLED touchscreen. On top of that is the Aorus M10 Infinity Mouse with optical switches and hardware-level support for Nvidia Reflex 2.

At Computex this year, DeepCool arrived armed with its new Assassin 5 Vision CPU cooler, utilising a new 2.0 Vapor Chamber design to improve heat transfer. As the Vision in the name implies, there is an LCD screen that sits on top of the cooler, giving you quick access to stats like CPU temperature and fan speed at a glance. DeepCool also has the AN600 VC for more compact systems, and the AK700 VC in black and white colour options.
For the workstation crowd, DeepCool is launching the Station X 620, a new air cooler built specifically for extremely high core-count CPUs, capable of handling up to a 520W TDP.
DeepCool also has its new SILENTNOX PRO 360 AIO, the very first from the company to feature a curved display on the pump block, with an even higher 2K resolution for better visuals.
DeepCool’s latest fans employ new dynamic balancing standards to reduce vibrations and resonance, further improving acoustic performance.
On the chassis front, DeepCool has the new CH690, designed for modern builds with a panoramic view of the internal components, alongside four pre-installed ARGB fans and an integrated display. There is also the CH170 Plus UES launching this year – an upgraded version of the compact chassis with new quick-release side panels for easier access to the internals for upgrades or maintenance.

Our Computex 2026 coverage continues with Montech. At the show, we saw brand-new PC cases as well as one of the most unusual products of the entire show – a scented PC.

Starting off with the Montech King 95 3D, this case is hitting the market at $120, but without pre-installed fans, so the fully decked-out version you see in the video isn't quite what you'll see in the box if you buy one.
The King 95 3D ships with a hidden PCU compartment behind the motherboard tray, so you'll be able to do very short cable runs from the PSU to your hardware, particularly if you use a BTF motherboard.
The F738 adopts a floating design, which we've seen across a few different case makers at Computex this year. Essentially there are two chambers, with the main tower housing your motherboard, GPU and fans floating above the base unit where your PSU and cables all sit.
The F738 ships in two versions, an airflow-focused ‘Pro' version with a louvre style front panel where you can adjust the angle of the slats to change airflow direction, as well as a ‘Vision' version, which uses a glass panel at the front instead for really showing off your build.
The Montech TEN is a new SFF case, built for the company's 10th Anniversary. It comes in pretty cheap, starting at around $70 for the standard version, with enough room for a high-end GPU and AIO liquid cooling. There is also an Aura version with ARGB lighting, and a Wood version with small wooden accents on the top and front of the case.
The wood one is particularly noteworthy for one other reason – it has a magnetic piece that attaches to the roof of the case. The idea is that you would drip essential oils on this piece of wood, pop it in place, and then the heat from your PC would generate whatever aroma you want. It is a novel concept, one we've not seen before, so we'll see if it takes off.
Finally, we also have the TG3 case, hitting the market at just $60, complete with glass panels at the front and side, and a smaller PSU shroud, giving you lots of room at the front for accessories or extra cooling hardware. If you want the aesthetic of a more expensive case without breaking the bank, this looks like one to go for. We'll be getting one in for review soon, so stay tuned for that.
For cooling fans, Montech has the new Link Fan INF 120. These are daisy-chained fans, allowing you to create blocks of three unified fans for streamlined installation and cable management. They are available in normal and reverse airflow versions. Your fans can then be controlled via the accompanying Montech Lumi software, which is currently in beta, but will give you readings for fan speed, PWM control, the ability to sync settings across fans, and of course, control for ARGB lighting too.
On the AIO side, we have the CyberFlow Core, available in 240mm and 360mm versions, in both black or white colour options. We have heard that these will be hitting the market at under $100, making them a pretty good deal compared to many other new AIOs hitting the market this year.
Montech also had a wall of prototypes that may or may not make it to market. The wall includes things like ARGB-lit power supply extension cables, new AIO designs with even bigger displays, a ‘SyncBar', which is a mini display to give users a look at key system stats at a glance. As noted earlier though, these are prototypes and may not go into consumer production.
Our final stop of the booth is power supplies. We're already quite familiar with the Century II line-up, which offers 80Plus Gold efficiency, but Montech is now also introducing the Century 2 PLA – a new set of Platinum-rated units for even greater efficiency.
