Levelplay took to Computex with some interesting cooling concepts, like magnetic fans that can be reversed in seconds, and an AIO that puts a big tactile knob for fan control on top of your CPU.
Noctua showed off a refined version of its passively circulated thermosiphon liquid cooler at Computex 2026 with an improved evaporator design. The company is confident enough in its progress with this product to set a Q3 2027 launch window.
Noctua is officially entering the AIO market on June 16 with its new "NL-LC1" liquid cooler that starts at 220 EUR (around $250) for the 240mm variant. It features a customized Asetek Emma V2 pump with a lot of soundproofing, NF-A12x25 G2 or NF-A14x25 G2 fans and SecuFirm2+ mounting.
A YouTuber made his own Peltier liquid cooling system to see if GPUs benefit from thermoelectric cooling. Sadly, the cooler was barely capable of cooling an RTX 3070 below ambient temperatures despite consuming over 300 watts of power.
Building an ITX PC can be challenging in and of itself, so naturally, we decided to amp up the difficulty factor and see if we could build something uncoolable.
We tested Sudokoo’s unique SK-series air coolers on the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. Read the full review to see how they deliver big performance without annoying noise levels.
Have you ever wanted to use a fan that's more than three times as loud as the other option while providing the same performance? If you answered in resounding joy, then this project is exactly what you've been looking for. A YouTuber 3D-printed a fan that's actually made up of 15 tiny fans, fit inside the frame of a regular 120mm fan modelled after the Noctua NF-A12x25.
Be Quiet’s Silent Loop 3 420 outperforms most 360mm AIOs while running quieter than the competition. This review is tested with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X CPU and includes noise-normalized benchmarks.
Thermalright’s Wonder Vision 360 UB ARGB features a unique ultrawide display with hundreds of customization options. We tested it with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X CPU and included noise-normalized benchmarks.
We pit five budget-friendly RGB fans against each other, in tests that don’t quite lead us to a clear winner. The most complete isn’t the best performing. There is, however, one clear loser that might be worth avoiding.
A Linux enthusiast has ported the Windows version of Thermalright's AIO cooler control center software to Linux. Linux users can now control their AIO cooler screens directly from Linux.
