Thermal Grizzly isn't launching much ‘new' stuff at Computex this year but we did get a look at a few new things – for starters, TG has new DeltaMate cooling fans on the way. It has also come up with new coatings for its DeltaMate GPU blocks, including the new TG O coating, which uses plasma to blast a rainbow finish across the copper core of the block.
TG's new DeltaMate Purrformante fans are optimised for low-speeds and high static pressure, making them a perfect pairing for liquid-cooling radiators. Like other popular fans on the market, these ones can be daisy-chained, simplifying multi-fan setups to just a single power cable.
The WireView is a product we have covered extensively, available in wired and wireless form, and used to help monitor the power draw from the PSU and detect any potential issues with overloading, which has been an issue with newer RTX 40 and RTX 50 series GPUs. There is even a version cooled by a little brown Noctua fan.
At Computex we also got a look at the Mycro Direct-Die Diamond, a diamond insert integrated into the cold plate of a CPU block, positioned directly at the thermal hotspot for improved heat transfer. However, due to the expense of the materials used here, we are unlikely to see this make it to full consumer production.
Speaking of Direct Die though, Thermal Grizzly does have a pretty good line-up of de-lidded CPUs, complete with warranty, available for sale, giving you an easy path towards direct-die cooling – an upgrade worth considering for overclocking enthusiasts.
Thermal Grizzly's liquid-cooling line-up also features a range of fittings, including Quick Disconnect fittings for easier maintenance of your loop and blocks.
The final piece of news coming out of Thermal Grizzly at Computex is that the company will be the next major sponsor for 3D Mark, so expect to see the Thermal Grizzly logo within the next version of the popular graphics benchmarking software.

Features:
Ventilated Top Glass – Integrated mesh cut-out vent aligned with the top radiator for top heat exhaust flow and minimal heat buildup from internal system components.
Modular Divider – A removable divider panel gives the user the choice of a clean, separate dual-chamber look or a more open layout. With the divider panel installed, accessories such as an LCD screen can be easily mounted.
Hidden AIO Compartment – Designed to hide the AIO radiator and route tubing out of the way, hidden from view in the main chamber for an ultra clean look.
Compact but high-end hardware support – Including mATX or Mini ITX motherboards, up to 410mm long graphics cards, 162mm tall air coolers and up to 360mm radiator support.
To simulate thermal demand, we run the Cinebench R23 multi-thread benchmark and 3DMark Speed Way stress test simultaneously in a loop for 30 minutes to load the system fully. This gives the CPU and GPU enough time to reach constant steady-state temperature. With this data, we can compare how the system handles the thermal demand and measure peak noise levels.
Thermal performance is measured with the case in various configurations, such as the default, with the tempered glass left-hand side panel removed and with the front panel removed to see how these configurations affect the CPU and GPU temperature. During testing, only stock case fans are used unless otherwise specified. All water pumps are set to maximum RPM and fans are set to a custom RPM curve by the Motherboard software/BIOS.
All temperature measurements are presented as Deltas – meaning the ambient temperature has been deducted from the CPU temperature, giving us a Delta. Data shown in the charts represents the average component temperature over the length of the test as measured by HWiNFO, and then the last 15 minutes of the data are calculated to get the average. The ambient temperature during thermal tests is between 19-20⁰C.
Case fans – Lian Li UNIFAN SL120 V2 (forward and reverse)
Chassis – Lian Li O11 Vision M
Operating System – Windows 11 24H2
Thermal Performance Overview
We test case thermals using a 360mm AIO as exhaust at the top and with the case in several different fan configurations. The default configuration shown in the charts is with the top 360mm AIO cooler, 2 x 120mm side intake, 3 x 120mm bottom intake fans and with all case panels installed.
The O11 Vision-M performs well considering the dual-chamber layout and the number of glass panels it has. In the default configuration, CPU and GPU temperatures measure 54°C and 51°C over ambient respectively. Removing the glass side panel or right-side mesh makes little difference to overall results, suggesting that the stock airflow setup is already very well optimised. The hidden AIO placement keeps heat away from the radiator and CPU temperatures benefit from it.
Bottom intake fans are relatively important for GPU cooling. Removing the floor intake pushes GPU temperatures up to 55°C above ambient, while every other configuration stays very consistent around the 50–52°C mark. So for a compact dual-chamber case with this much glass, thermal performance is genuinely solid.
Noise Output
Noise performance is consistent across the board too, with the O11 Vision-M sat at 48dBA under full load in most configurations, while idle noise mostly stays fixed at 37dBA. Removing the right-side mesh panel drops load noise slightly to 47dBA, while removing the floor intake fans pushes it up to 49dBA, likely due to the GPU fans working harder to compensate for reduced airflow and slightly raised temperature.
The case has very balanced airflow regardless of configuration changes, and no major spikes in noise. Overall, for a compact dual chamber with multiple glass panels, the O11 Vision-M delivers solid acoustic performance without sacrificing cooling.
Closing Thoughts
Taken as a whole, the Lian Li O11 Vision-M is a very well-designed compact dual-chamber chassis that does a good job of balancing aesthetics, cooling performance and hardware compatibility. Despite the reduced footprint compared with larger O11 variants, there’s still support crammed in for high-end hardware, including 410mm graphics cards, 360mm radiators or AIOs, up to 13 fans and large CPU air coolers. Plus, thermal performance remains consistently strong even with the use of multiple glass panels.
The standout feature is the hidden top radiator compartment. Not only does it help maintain a clean showcase-style appearance that the O11 Vision series is known for, but it also works well from a cooling perspective without restricting airflow. The digital version looks impressive, with the integrated 9.2-inch LCD screen feeling more refined and useful than the gimmicky implementations we sometimes see from competitors. This screen fits in with the design of the case perfectly.
However there are a few compromises, such as clearance around the top radiator mount being very tight, so not every 360mm AIO will fit without issue. Checking dimensions before buying is essential. The smaller internal layout also means there’s a more specific hardware installation order required during the build process, which increases build time a little compared to similar dual-chamber cases with more space.
At $70 MSRP for the standard version, the O11 Vision-M offers good value considering the excellent build quality, cooling performance and hardware support it provides. Even the $130 digital version feels reasonably priced given the quality of the integrated display. While it’s technically compatible with Mini-ITX systems, due to its dimensions, it feels more like a compact Micro-ATX case than a true ITX chassis. Even so, if you want a compact case with strong airflow, premium aesthetics and high-end hardware support, the O11 Vision-M is an easy one to recommend.
The Lian Li O11 Vision-M has a £69.99 (black) MSRP for the regular model and $129.99 for the digital version with a 9.2″ LCD.
Pros:
The hidden AIO compartment gives a clean look.
Good cooling options for a small dual-chamber glass case.
Screen integration on the digital version is excellent.
Cons:
Tight tolerance for top AIO support makes installation fiddly and means that some AIOs will be incompatible.
Not small enough to be considered for ITX builds.
The installation process takes a little more time than in some similar cases.
KitGuru says: This is one of the best mATX cases we have seen for a long time. It's packed with high-end cooling options as well as that hidden radiator compartment which gives a clean look to the build. Plus, it's competitively priced too.

Case fans – Stock (Fractal Aspect 12X Reverse RGB BK)
Chassis – Fractal Pop 2 Vision
Operating System – Windows 11 24H2
Thermal Performance Overview
We test case thermals using a 360mm AIO as exhaust at the top and with the case in several different fan configurations. The default configuration shown in the charts is with the top 360mm AIO cooler, 2 x 120mm side and bottom intake fans and with all case panels installed.
Looking at the thermals first, the Fractal Pop 2 Vision shows solid performance overall, with a few minor differences between configurations. With all glass panels removed, the CPU temperature is 54°C above ambient, and the GPU is at 50°C. With the case in the default configuration, temperatures rise slightly to 57°C over ambient on the CPU and 52°C on the GPU, so out-of-the-box airflow is clearly doing a decent job.
Removing the top mesh panel doesn’t change temperatures much, but removing the floor intake has an impact, pushing the CPU to 58°C and the GPU to 55°C over ambient, highlighting how important the bottom intake is for keeping GPU temperatures in check.
Noise Output
Looking at the noise results, it's pretty well controlled overall with only small differences between configurations. In the default setup, max noise is 50 dBA under load and 37 dBA at idle, which is normal for a dual-chamber case running this hardware and cooling setup.
Removing the glass panels or the top mesh panel drops load noise slightly to 49 dBA due to cooler temperatures and slightly lower fan speed. Disabling the floor intake fans pushes noise up to 52 dBA, likely due to the fans working a bit harder to compensate. At idle though it’s consistent across the board at 37 dBA.
Closing Thoughts
For a first attempt at a modern ATX dual-chamber case, the Fractal Pop 2 Vision PC Case looks to be decent value, assuming it becomes available at its suggested MSRP on launch. Build quality is a big positive as the chassis feels very solid throughout, plus the design strikes a nice balance between understated styling and full-vision aesthetic from the panoramic glass, with the recessed fans keeping things looking clean inside the main chamber.
In terms of hardware support, there’s a lot to like here too, with 40mm+ clearance for large graphics cards, support for 360mm radiators and AIOs up top, alongside compatibility with reverse-connector ATX and mATX motherboards, so it’s flexible enough for a wide range of modern builds. It’s also generally easy to work in, with a good amount of internal space and sensible layout choices that make cable management simple and tidy presentation easy to achieve.
That said, there are some minor downsides. Some features you might expect at this price point are missing – there’s no proper fan hub included, no integrated GPU support bracket, and fan flexibility is a bit limited, with the bottom and side mounts restricted to 120mm units only. On top of that, front I/O is a little sparse, offering just a single Type-A and one Type-C port, where many cases still provide a bit more Type-A connectivity normally.
So while it’s not a completely perfect design, the core features and build quality are done well. If you’re after a dual-chamber case that prioritises clean looks, solid build quality and good hardware compatibility, the Pop 2 Vision makes a strong case for itself. While it may not give the absolute chart-topping thermals of a high airflow mesh case, with a 360mm top AIO, cooling is also pretty decent for a dual-chamber chassis.
The Fractal Pop 2 Vision has a £87.99 MSRP for the RGB model (as reviewed).
Pros:
Four reverse-blade fans pre-installed.
Good hardware support, including reverse-connect motherboards.
Easy to build with.
Competitive MSRP.
Cons:
Limited side/floor fan choice.
No fan hub included.
No integrated GPU support bracket.
KitGuru says: Fractal has done a good job with the Pop 2 Vision, for the suggested MSRP it offers a good value, a solid base for your new gaming system and with the recessed fans, it looks pretty cool too.
