Thermalright is launching its first pre-built PC – the AI HydroNous R1

10 April 2026 at 15:30

After announcing at Computex that it would launch a full system, Thermalright has finally made its debut in the pre-built PC market with the AI HydroNous R1. The system features an LCD panel and is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor, cooled by an integrated liquid-cooling unit.

As spotted by ITHome, the system houses an integrated 180mm AIO liquid cooler for the CPU, along with LCP fans, supporting a 176W TDP, far above the Ryzen AI Max+ 395's 120W limit. That means the cooler should allow the CPU to sustain boost clock speeds for longer periods of time. Unfortunately, we do not yet know what RAM the system uses.

The chassis includes a 4.6-inch front-facing monitoring screen managed via the TRCC software. This display provides real-time data, including CPU frequency, temperatures, load, time, and date. The interior is designed for user access, featuring two SSD slots positioned behind the left side panel and a dedicated heatsink.

Connectivity is distributed across the top, rear, and bottom of the case. The I/O includes two USB 4.0 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, an HDMI output, and a DisplayPort. Networking is handled by dual Ethernet ports, providing 2.5GbE and 10GbE speeds. A 3.5mm audio jack and an SD card reader are also included.

KitGuru says: By the looks of it, the AI HydroNous R1 won't come cheap, but given it's from Thermalright, we might be surprised.
