Chieftec launches Iceberg Pro AIO with added VRM + SSD cooling

6 August 2026 at 16:00

Chieftec is stepping up its cooling lineup with the new ICEBERG PRO, a 360mm AIO aimed at high‑performance PC builds and distinguished by a rare addition – an integrated centrifugal fan designed to cool VRMs, M.2 SSDs and nearby memory modules.

While most AIOs focus solely on CPU thermals, the ICEBERG PRO takes a broader approach by actively cooling surrounding motherboard components. The centrifugal fan sits inside the pump housing and pushes airflow across the VRM area. The cooler pairs this with a performance‑optimised pump head and a 360mm radiator.

Chieftec’s Snap‑On Interlocking PWM fans aim to simplify installation by reducing cable clutter, making it easier to keep builds tidy. The radiator fans and VRM fan can reach up to 2200RPM, while the pump operates at up to 2700RPM via PWM control. The copper cold plate supports a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets, including LGA1851, LGA1700 and AM5, ensuring compatibility with current‑generation platforms.

The ICEBERG PRO Series is available in two finishes, an ARGB model with lighting across the pump and fans, and a DARK edition for users who prefer a stealthy build.

KitGuru Says: The integrated VRM fan is an uncommon feature and could appeal to users pushing high‑coreCPUs. Are you considering a 360mm AIO for your next upgrade?

New Chieftec Iceberg Pro 360 AIO series features interlocking fans and VRM cooling

9 July 2026 at 08:45

Chieftec has introduced the Iceberg Pro 360 series, a new lineup of 360mm all-in-one liquid CPU coolers featuring an integrated centrifugal VRM fan built directly into the pump housing.

The new series includes two distinct models: the Iceberg Pro 360 RGB and the Iceberg Pro 360 Dark. Both configurations deploy a 360mm aluminium radiator alongside an aerospace-inspired pump design. Chieftec aims to improve overall motherboard thermal performance by using the integrated pump fan to actively direct airflow over nearby VRMs, M.2 SSDs, and memory modules.

Cable management and installation are said to be streamlined with the company's Snap-On interlocking 120mm radiator fans, which spin up to 2200 RPM. Other performance figures for the fans include a rated airflow of 64.72 CFM and a rated air pressure of 3.06 mmH2O. The VRAM fan speed is rated at 500-2200RPM.

Illumination choices separate the two variants: the RGB model uses ARGB/PWM fans, while the Dark edition swaps them for non-illuminated PWM fans to achieve a clean, all-black look. Aside from the fans, both coolers share the same structural framework. Socket compatibility spans Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, and LGA115x, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4.

KitGuru says: Integrating a VRM fan into an AIO pump block isn't new, but it's proven to help reduce temperatures. Do you consider a VRM fan a plus when choosing AIOs, or is it something you just ignore?

Chieftec prioritises storage with its latest UNI chassis

4 March 2026 at 14:30

Chieftec has introduced the BW‑01B‑OP, a new UNI Series ATX workstation chassis built for professional users who need high‑capacity storage and flexible cooling options. The design focuses on practicality and durability, wrapped in a clean, understated exterior with a modern hinged front door.

The case is constructed from 0.6mm SGCC steel and measures 510×200×465mm, offering support for Mini‑ITX, mATX, and ATX motherboards. Chieftec includes a pre‑installed 120mm PWM HDB fan at the rear, with additional cooling support for up to two 140mm front fans and up to three 140mm top fans. The top panel can also house 240mm or 360mm radiators when the upper 5.25in bay is unused, giving builders room for workstation‑class thermal setups.

Storage capacity is one of the BW‑01B‑OP’s defining features. The chassis provides two tool‑less 5.25in external bays, six 3.5in trays, and four 2.5in trays, all supported by an easy‑to‑remove cage system designed for creators and users managing large data libraries. Rubber‑grommeted cable routing holes help maintain clean internal layouts and unobstructed airflow.

Inside, the case supports CPU coolers up to 157mm tall and graphics cards up to 310mm—or up to 410mm when the 2.5in cage is removed. Seven expansion slots and ATX PSU support (up to 160mm) round out the internal layout.
Front I/O includes USB Type‑C, USB3.0, audio‑out, and mic‑in. Chieftec also supplies a removable bottom dust filter and a magnetic top filter, and the chassis carries a 24‑month warranty.
