A new giant AIO CLC cooler screen module marked Xigmatek's Computex 2025 presence. It hooks directly into its CPU pump via a rotating shoulder-style cradle, letting builders orient the display vertically or horizontally. The oversized panel spans nearly the entire width of a full ATX motherboard. It streams real-time system metrics—CPU/GPU temperatures, fan speeds, clock frequencies, and performance graphs—alongside custom images or GIFs. Firmware is still being refined for latency and color calibration, but early prototypes demonstrated smooth refresh rates and responsive touchscreen control. Beyond the specs, this thing is just plain fun. Picture cracking open your PC's side panel and being greeted by a mini billboard where your cooler lives—no more squinting at tiny OLED badges or fumbling through software widgets. It's like giving your rig a big, bold, and unashamed personality trait.

Available from April in Europe starting at €3,699, May in North America at $2999.99.

At Computex 2025, the smaller case brand aboStudio stole some of the spotlight from countless others. While the show floor teemed with flashy AI demos and next-generation robotics, aboStudio reminded visitors that solid hardware design still matters. Their Container L case drew early crowds. Crafted from sand-blasted anodized aluminium, it can house Micro ATX or Mini ITX motherboards and can fit graphics cards up to 330 mm long. Builders who care about cooling will appreciate its support for 280 mm radiators and the four internal bays for 2.5-inch drives. The front-mounted ATX power supply design and side panel window give it a clean, straightforward look without sacrificing performance.

For Computex 2025, Raidmax quietly refreshed its case lineup across three distinct series: VECTOR, INFINITA, and MESHIAN. Each family now spans everything from compact, minimalist designs to full-tower workhorses, promising builders both style and substance. The newly highlighted V217 and V300 full towers are engineered for extreme hardware, with support for triple-radiator liquid loops and GPUs up to 350 mm long. Just below them sits the V213 M, which balances expandability and a tempered-glass showcase, while the mid-tower V212 wins praise for its mesh-front panel and four pre-installed RGB fans. Even space-sensitive setups aren't forgotten: the V158, V155, and the ultra-compact V152 and V153 all deliver surprisingly roomy interiors, clean cable management channels, and flexible drive mounts. Enthusiasts also have their eyes on the yet-to-appear V210, teased as a hybrid between the V213 M's showcase and the V158's streamlined profile.

Acer released four new graphics cards in the Intel Arc and AMD Radeon lineups, and we found them on display in Acer's booth here at Computex 2025. The Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC is now available in white, with 2x FrostBlade fans (alongside the existing black version). It features 12 GB memory running at up to 2,740 MHz with Intel Xe2 architecture, supporting 1440p gaming and 8K displays (1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs) with ray tracing, XeSS frame generation, and low latency technology. The Intel Nitro Arc A380 LP is a low-profile card with 6 GB memory, powered by one 8-pin PCIe connector and 2,000 MHz clocks, built on Xe architecture with DirectX 12 Ultimate support, ray tracing capabilities, and XeSS upscaling for content creation and gaming.

Einarex is a young company that seems to put a lot of effort into building its reputation. Since we saw them this year at CES Las Vegas, we stopped at their Computex booth to see what they've created since then. It seems that aside from the Prisma, Pulse, and Zenith PC case series, they have quite a few more interesting items, such as new cases, air and liquid coolers, fans and even power supplies under the Nexus and Apex series.

The Snow is a spacious tower case with full front and side glass panels. If you prefer a more classic design you can take a look at the Rack series that features a grille-style front panel, a glass side panel and a large display at the bottom. The Prisma series received the SM501D—slightly less inspired naming than Snow—a case that offers a panoramic view in a more compact format. Pulse series received a surprisingly good-looking PM200 "Small Frame, Big Game" case with perforated panels all over. Of course, their booth had the shiny-reflective Prisma S800 and the elegant Pulse PM400 with its wooden grille front panel up on display as we already saw them in January.

Wooting, the Hall effect keyboard specialist, brought its latest generation of keyboards to Computex 2025. We begin our tour with the new Wooting 60HE v2, which as its name suggests, is the second generation of its 60% keyboard with Hall effect key switches. In charge of the job are the new Lekker Tikken medium key switches, with a friction-fit mounting style, sitting on the company's FR4 switch plate, and encased in an aluminium body. The keyboard comes in black, white, and bright silver colors, and its electronics support 8,000 Hz polling. The keyboard measures 305 mm x 115 mm x 28.08 mm, weighing 960 g. The Wooting 60HE v2 is expected to release in Q4 2025.

The company also showcased its selection of knobs. A knob in this context is a keycap replacement that holds the Hall effect key switch in a precise actuated position as it is turned up or down along threading. The Wooting Big Knob measures 4U in size (covers four key spaces), while the small one measures a single key space. Both are expected to release in Q1 2026. Lastly, Wooting also showcased their Wooting x Optimum keyset, and aluminium-magnesium alloy (AL5052) casing.

At Computex 2025, HAVN showcased its newest line of high-end case fans under the H-series. Features include a triple-groove fluid dynamic bearing in a metal alloy core; a harmonized impeller design that reduces the gap between the fan blade and the bore of the frame, to maximize axial airflow, frames as thick as 40 mm (for the 180 mm model), and impellers made from 30% fiberglass reinforced composite. There's even a male-to-female connection on the fan to help with cable management.

Next up, is the HAVN BF360, a premium ATX mid-tower case designed to minimize noise output while also balancing it with high airflow and a side window. The front of the case comes with vents for two large 180 mm intake fans hidden behind a dust filter. The drive bays have vibration dampening. The SSD and HDD mounts are detachable. The case includes a GPU bracket, and the 180 mm fans ensure positive internal air pressure. The area behind the motherboard tray is spacious, giving you ample room for cable management even with some of the thicker cables that are otherwise hard to bend.More pictures follow.

At Computex 2025 in Taipei, Framework Computer highlighted the growing importance of compact, serviceable hardware by unveiling an AI cluster built entirely from its new Framework Desktop mini PCs.

In a striking demonstration, four of these desktops were mounted side by side in a 10-inch half-rack enclosure, creating a scalable cluster that delivers up to 200 TOPS of on-device AI performance from the XDNA 2 NPUs alone, before the 8060S comes into play. The rack features integrated Wi-Fi 7 and 5 GbE networking, while its modular expansion card slots allow users to tailor ports to their exact needs. By packaging powerful inference capability into a compact, repairable chassis with efficient cooling and low power draw, Framework is making it simpler for research labs, small businesses, and edge-computing enthusiasts to deploy AI solutions outside traditional data centers.

We couldn't miss Valkyrie's colorful booth at this year's Computex where they showcased new and updated liquid and air CPU coolers, a new case, and some peripherals that are for the moment in the final stages of development. Let's start with the V360 and V240 AIOs, which feature a large rectangular 3.5-inch IPS display integrated into the pump. The coolers are equipped with Valkyrie's latest B12 series 120 mm ARGB fans—three on the V360 and two on the V240. These 25 mm thick fans operate at speeds ranging from 800 to 2150 RPM, offering a maximum airflow of 81.68 CFM, a noise level of up to 30.5 dB(A), and a static pressure of 4.0 mm H₂O. As for pricing, the V360 is set to retail at €249.90, while the V240 will be priced at €219.90. Also on display were other recently launched AIOs from Valkyrie's V Lite and A series.

EK Water Blocks showed us an exciting solution at their Computex 2025 booth, with the unveiling of its Quantum Surface Kinetics 240, an all-in-one liquid‐cooling kit that marries two 120 mm Quantum Surface radiators with the company's signature Quantum Kinetic pump-and-reservoir module. The dual‐radiator array leverages a thin, high‐density micro-fin design to allow for ample heat dissipation while remaining just 30 mm thick—ideal for cramped mid-tower builds or even ITX systems. At the heart of the loop sits EK's Quantum Kinetic DDC pump and reservoir combo, now showcased in a newly refined, transparent acrylic housing. The integrated fill port and machined aluminium top cap feature customizable RGB channels, while the visible coolant pathways highlight EK's precision flow engineering. EK has pegged the Quantum Surface Kinetics 240 at an MSRP of $360. While not being like a traditional AIO design, it will allow PC enthusiasts to get much more creative with their water-cooling setups and both and reduce the setup difficulty of custom loops.

Sitting right in the middle of the Geometric Future booth is their new Model 9, a PC case series that breaks their rectangular design style (apart from the older Model 2 Ark). The case sports rounded corners with large tempered glass panels on the front and left, and a full mesh panel on the top and right sides. It can accommodate up to four radiators (one 420 mm, two 360 mm, and one 140 mm); there's also enough space inside to fit three 140 mm fans. The M9 also features a motorized retractable power button that is activated only through proximity sensing.

LYNK at the 2025 Computex showed off its latest VGA liquid cooling solutions under the LYNK+ brand. The company showcased an all-in-one liquid VGA cooling system consisting of a 2-slot pump-block and VRM+memory cooling baseplate, connected to a 360 mm radiator. The company's original design sees the coolant tubes fixed and sticking out from the top of the card as shown in the stock image below, but at Computex 2025, LYNK showcased its latest version, which has the coolant tubes located at the tail-end.

This latest version of LYNK+ comes with a Quick-Disconnect at the card's end, designed in-house by LYNK. Another innovation by LYNK is the introduction of displays on the pump-block. We've seen this to be the general scheme with liquid cooling solutions at Computex 2025, and it's only fair for LYNK+ to get this as well, especially given the rise of vertical graphics card slots.

At Computex 2025 in Taipei, boutique chassis maker APNX presented two striking new enclosures, the V2-F and the V2.

The Observatory HF Mesh is a variant of the original Kolink Observatory, that comes with a mesh intake and pre-installed fans, designed for positive air pressure inside the case. It features three 140 mm Kolink Umbra ARGB intake fans, and three 120 mm top exhausts for rapid airflow inside the case. The case offers clearance for graphics cards up to 33 cm in length, CPU coolers up to 16 cm in height, and PSUs up to 18 cm in length.

The Kolink Unity Alpha is a glasshouse case with a horizontally partitioned layout. Tempered glass takes up the left side and front panels. The motherboard tray offers plenty of space on the backside for cable management, but is recessed toward the front end, so fans or radiators pointing sideways don't get in the way of long graphics cards. The case comes with two side-facing reverse-blade ARGB fans pre-installed, besides a 120 mm rear exhaust.

Phison at the 2025 Computex showcased its next-generation PHY controller designed for PCI-Express Gen 6, the next interconnect standard, that enables 64 Gbps per-lane per-direction bandwidth. The prototype PHY test chip by Phison is labeled PT1601, and was installed on a PCIe Gen 6 test bed, and is the first step in designing next-generation signal integrity products used in SSDs, motherboards, server backplanes, and specialized cabling for automotive and data centers.

We were also shown the PCI-Express 6.0 x4 digital signal. Phison not only creates the SSD controller, but also the PCIe re-drivers and retimers needed to clean and boost the digital signal, and maintain data integrity at high speeds. On topic, the company also showcased its PCIe Gen 5 re-driver and retimer solutions at Computex 2025. As a market leader, Phison offers comprehensive design and validation solutions for SSD manufacturers that include controllers, and these re-driver/retimer components, besides firmware co-development, testing, and product optimization.

Phison at Computex 2025 showed off its latest E28 series client M.2 NVMe Gen 5 controller. The reference E28-based drive from Phison, built using a 6 nanometer process, was shown nearly hitting the 15 GB/s sequential reads mark. A live benchmark session with CDM put out 14942.85 MB/s sequential reads, with 14149.47 MB/s sequential writes. Both the sequential reads and writes are the highest in the industry for this form-factor. Next up, the company showcased its new E31T DRAMless controller and reference design drives in the M.2-2242 and M.2-2230 form-factors. Phison says that the first drives implementing the latest E28 controller should hit the market in the coming weeks.

Super Flower showed off a comprehensive lineup of new ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 power supplies. We begin our tour with their flagship Leadex Platinum 3300 W F14 HP, with its Cybenetics Platinum rating. This PSU is meant for a workstation that can have up to four RTX 5090 cards, but also a 2P CPU setup. Just below this is the Combat II FP 3000 W. This massive PSU meets Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency, uses a 140 mm fan to keep cool, and offers as many as four 12V-2x6 power connectors. This PSU targets AI inferencing workstations and has more than sufficient power for up to four GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards.

The Leadex Titanium 2800 W is probably the only PSU we've come across at Computex that offers a wattage as high as 2800 W, but with Cybenetics Titanium efficiency. Just a notch below this is the Leadex Platinum 2800 W, with its Cybenetics Platinum and 80 Plus Platinum rating, a high endurance fan, and four 12V-2x6 connectors.

Silicon Power brought an extensive lineup of memory products to Computex 2025. We begin our tour with the company's DDR5 CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs. The company's baseline DDR5 CKD lineup sees CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs tick at DDR5-6400, with 16 GB density, CL52, and 1.1 V. The XPower Storm RGB is a premium gaming PC memory series, which comes in 16 GB and 32 GB single modules, and 32 GB (2x 16 GB) and 64 GB (2x 32 GB) kits. Speeds range between DDR5-6000 to DDR5-8000. These support XMP and EXPO.

The XPower Zenith is a mid-range kit, which comes in the same kind of densities as the XPower Storm RGB, but with speeds of DDR5-5200, DDR5-5600, and DDR5-6000. The XPower Cyclone is the company's enthusiast-segment DDR5 OC memory series. The non-CKD (UDIMM) variant comes in speeds of up to DDR5-8000, with the CKD (CUDIMM) variants pushing further, up to DDR5-9200.

Neo Forza brought its latest memory and storage products to the 2025 Computex. We begin our tour with the company's latest CAMM2 and LPCAMM2 modules. These are dual-channel DDR5 memory compacted into a single module that's intended to be installed along the plane of the motherboard, to minimize Z-Height. The company's CAMM2 and LPCAMM2 modules come in 16 GB, 24 GB, 32 GB, 48 GB, and 64 GB densities, with speeds ranging from DDR5-5600 to DDR5-7500 and LPDDR5-7500 (in case of LPCAMM2), with CAS latencies ranging from 46T to 52T, and DRAM voltages as low as 1.1 V for the CAMM2, and 0.5 V to 1.05 V for the LPCAMM2.

The company's DDR5 Standard series UDIMMs and SO-DIMMs target the entry level of the market, with speeds of DDR5-5600, and module densities ranging from 8 GB to 64 GB (dual-rank), CAS latencies from 40T to 46T; and DRAM voltages of 1.1 V. Neo Forza is also ready with its first DDR5 CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs that implement client clock-drivers (CKD)s. Its Standard series CKD modules offer densities ranging from 8 GB to 64 GB, with speeds of DDR5-6400, CL52, and 1.1 V module voltage.

V-Color brought an interesting innovation to Computex 2025—DDR5 memory modules with LCD matrix displays. The company showed off its upcoming XFinity Manta DDR5 modules that come with small integrated displays (around 1-inch diagonal), which put out real-time stats such as module voltage, temperature, clock speed, timings, module density, etc. Among the speed and density options we've seen are 24 GB DDR5-7800 CL38 @1.4 V, and 24 GB DDR5-8000 CL38 @ 1.35 V. There's also a 32 GB DDR5-6400 CL32 @ 1.4 V module, a 48 GB DDR5-6000 CL28 @ 1.4 V module, and a 48 GB DDR5-7200 CL36 @ 1.4 V. The 32 GB and 48 GB modules are likely dual-rank.

We also spotted a 64 GB (2x 32 GB) DDR5-8000 CL44 @ 1.4 V dual-channel kit. Given its high speed, it is either using high-density DRAM chips in a single-rank configuration, or a CKD. Another example of high density is an XPrism 32 GB DDR5-9600 CL48 1.4 V module, and an XSky ROG co-branded series 24 GB DDR5-8800 CL42 1.45 V module. Next up are things we weren't expecting—OC R-DIMMs with RGB!

Tiny PC maker Minisforum was showing off its upcoming N5 Pro NAS at Computex, and it's quite different from what most NAS makers have put out to date. For starters, it's built around AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 370 SoC and has support for up to 96 GB of ECC DDR5 5600 MHz memory over two SO-DIMM slots. Connectivity consists of one 10 Gbps and one 5 Gbps Ethernet port, two USB4 ports—with DP Alt mode support—one HDMI 2.1 port, two USB 3.2 10 Gbps ports and one USB 2.0 port. For some reason the Oculink port, clearly visible around the back of the unit on display, isn't mentioned in the specs we were provided, but it's still mentioned on the product page, so we'll have to wait and see if that will be part of the final product or not.

On the storage side of things there's room for five 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives in traditional drive caddies, and drives up to 22 TB in size are supported. In addition to this, there's room for one M.2 NVMe slot which is limited to PCIe 4.0 X1, lengths of up to 110 mm are supported. There is also an extra PCB that can be slotted in that adds support for a further two NVMe drives in either the U.2 or M.2 form factor, one with a PCIe 4.0 x2 interface and one with PCIe 4.0 x1. Judging by the design of this expansion PCB, it might be a bit fiddly to install, but as the main PCB of the N5 Pro slides out for access, it could've been far worse. Internally there's also a full-length low-profile PCIe x16 slot—which was occupied by a GPU in the unit on display—although it's limited to four lanes electrically, as well as a USB 3.2 10 Gbps port. It will apparently come with MinisCloud OS, but Windows 11 is also supported, which means the N5 Pro could be used for something else than just as a NAS. No word on pricing, but the company is offering a 30 percent off discount if you sign up on their website.

Lenovo Group Limited, together with its subsidiaries ('the Group'), today announced Q4 and full year results for the fiscal year 2024/25, reporting significant increases in overall group revenue and profit. For the full year, revenue grew 21% year-on-year to US$69.1 billion, marking the Group's second-highest annual revenue in its history. Net income was up 36% year-on-year to US$1.4 billion on a non-Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (non-HKFRS) basis. The Group's diversified growth engines continue to accelerate, with non-PC revenue mix up nearly five points year-on-year to 47%. All business groups were healthy and strong and met their strategic intent and financial goals, and all sales geographies gained double-digit revenue growth year-on-year, reflecting the strength of the Group's diversified businesses and resilient global footprint.

The results were not only driven by the Group's focus on executing a clear strategy, but also its end-to-end integrated global operations (design, demand forecasting, procurement, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and services), ODM+ manufacturing model, and global resources/local delivery model. Over the past 20 years of operating a global business, Lenovo has established a manufacturing footprint that boasts 30+ manufacturing sites (either in-house or outsourced) in 11 different markets around the world. The combination of these gives the Group maximum flexibility and resilience to navigate through uncertainties and be more adaptive to the market conditions.

ID-Cooling is known to be a specialist when it comes to thermal solutions, offering an extensive portfolio of products to keep your PC components cool. We headed toward their booth here at Computex 2025 expecting to see firsthand what they have on display as cooling solutions, and yes, the booth was packed with both new and updated products.

The SL360 V2 Plus AIO now features a unique expanded radiator, you can clearly see that ID-Cooling has enlarged the radiator and also added a thick side-frame to the fans. This way they increased the actual active fin-area of the radiator so that the three AP-120 fans are able to cool it better. The SL360 V2 Black/White variants use 120 mm x 28 mm fans (previous SL360 used 25 mm thick fans) without the expanded radiator from the Plus model. Both AIOs sport the same 2.1-inch circular LCD display and ARGB lighting.

Deepcool presented a diverse range of cooling solutions at Computex 2025, covering high-end all-in-one liquid coolers, flagship LCD-equipped systems, advanced air coolers, and next-generation chassis fans. The new LQ Ultra models include an ARGB halo ring on the pump housing and a built-in LCD panel that displays live coolant temperature, pump speed, and overall system status. Available in 240 mm and 360 mm radiator options, these AIO units can be fully managed via software for personalized performance profiles. For example, the LQ360 comes with three FD12 ARGB fans and DeepCool's fifth-generation water pump, featuring a three-phase, six-slot, four-pole motor capable of spinning up to 3,400 RPM. This configuration delivers 72.04 CFM of airflow and 3.48 mm of static pressure while keeping noise under 38.71 dB(A). To help ensure long-term durability, the series also incorporates DeepCool's patented Anti-Leak Technology.

The Formula-V Line is a young Taiwanese company that tries to make its way into the always crowded market of PC components, so our team made it to their Computex booth to see what they have on display. We founded a wide array of desktop cases in different sizes and cooling setups. The Air Power series has designs that allow for strong airflow. The G3 Plus White fits ATX and microATX motherboards in a case measuring 455 x 245 x 470 mm. This case has room to fit up to six 120 mm or four 140 mm fans. The bigger G5 EX model is 475 x 235 x 501 mm in size. It supports back-connected motherboards and works with EATX boards. This larger case focus on airflow allowing users to fit up to ten 120 mm or seven 140 mm fans. The G8 model introduces dual front panel options with both grated and glass configurations in a 480 x 235 x 470 mm case format.

This year at Computex, Apacer was showing off several new DDR5 memory modules and storage products. First up is its NOX RGB DDR5 CUDIMM which delivers a base speed of 8000 MT/s, but according to the company, can be overclocked to 9000 MT/s and there's also a non RGB version. Next up we have the Shield RGB DDR5 modules, which appears to want to take on Corsair's Dominator modules, at least design vise and these are also available without RGB. There was no mention of any speeds for these modules and as they'll only be available later this year, there's no information on the Apacer website either. Finally, Apacer has entered into a partnership with ASUS to produce TUF co-branded memory and was showing off the new NOX TUF RGB DDR5 modules. The already available non RGB version is available in speeds from 5200 MT/s to 6800 MT/s.

On the storage side, Apacer had a new external USB4 Gen 3x2—otherwise known as 40 Gbps—SSD, which is based on the Phison U21 controller. The AS741 as the drive is called, will be available in sizes from 1 TB to 4 TB and it should offer sequential read speeds of up to 4000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 3600 MB/s. It also has an integrated cable/handle, which is the blue part in the picture, but we're not sure how it really is intended to work. Apacer also had a new PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD that goes under the name of AS2280F4U, which is based on Silicon Motion SM2508 controller and it should offer read speeds of up to 14000 MB/s and write speeds of 13000 MB/s. It will come in sizes between 1 TB and 4 TB and the heatsink has a rather tiny fan built into it. Both of the SSDs will be available later this year.

SilverStone brought a host of new AIO liquid CPU coolers to Computex 2025, and we begin our tour with the IceMyst Pro line of AIO CLCs for a wide range of gaming desktop CPU socket types. The company also added support for AMD Socket TR5 for Ryzen Threadripper HEDT processors. These coolers come in 240 mm, 280 mm, 360 mm, and 420 mm sizes. Next up are the IceMyst 2U and 3U lines of AIO CLCs for rackmount cases. These are highly socket specific. The IceMyst 400 2U comes with a pump-block that supports LGA1851 and AM5, with the included 80 mm server-grade fans turning at speeds of up to 8,000 RPM to push air through radiators that are either 400 mm x 80 mm (5x 80 mm), or 240 mm x 80 mm (3x 80 mm). Then there's the 3U-capable XE360PD, which comes with a pump located in the radiator, and a water block that's capable of AMD Socket TR5; and the XE360PDD, which is meant for 2P servers and workstations. There will be models specific to CPU socket types, including SP5 and LGA4266.More pictures follow.

SilverStone brought a huge selection of products to Computex 2025, we begin our coverage with its power supply range. SilverStone targets a variety of markets including servers, workstations, and DIY gaming desktops. Leading the pack is the Hela 2500Rz. The PSU meets Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency rating, and offers a whopping 2500 W of power, with four 12V-2x6 600 W power connectors. The PSU was announced just last month, and targets workstations and AI inferencing systems with up to four RTX 5090 graphics cards.

Next up, is the Extreme 1000Rz Platinum, the company's flagship SFX power supply with 1000 W on tap, Cybenetics Platinum rating, full modular cabling, and a single 12V-2x6 connector. The FX600Rz is a new generation Flex-ATX PSU with 600 W on tap, which includes two 16-pin 12V-2x6 connectors. These boxes are meant to be part of redundant PSUs, or to be added to your workstations to supplement your power requirements. Also shown are the 2U rackmount power supplies 2U750Rx Gold (750 W), and the 2U850Rx Gold (850 W). The PDB 2-port 1+1 backplane lets you combine two 2000 W PSUs for 1+1 redundancy, supporting up to 2 CRPS, and six 12V-2x6. Speaking of redundant PSUs, we've come across the Gemini 2000C Titanium in 1U and 2U form-factors. There's also a mammoth Gemini 2400C Titanium, a server PSU with 2400 W on tap in a tiny 1U form-factor, which relies on cyclonic 40 mm fan to keep cool.More pictures follow.

darkFlash offers a variety of keyboards and mice designed for gaming and office use, featuring mechanical switches, wireless connectivity, and customizable options. The PXD98 mechanical keyboard is based on the best-selling GD series, featuring a small display that can show custom animations, wireless connectivity, and sound-dampening foam. The EZ68 is a compact 65% magnetic switch gaming keyboard with fully adjustable actuation points, an 8000 Hz polling rate, and RGB backlighting.

darkFlash showcased the DFM80 Series, an ultra-light gaming mouse weighing just 48 g, equipped with the PAW3395 optical sensor supporting up to 26,000 DPI. The Flow 3 vertical mouse, designed for creatives looking for more ergonomic options, was also on display in a wide range of colors.

Gaming peripherals brand iRocks brought its latest keyboards and mice to the 2025 Computex. We begin our tour with the table with gaming mice. The M51R is a premium mouse powered by the PixArt PAW3950 sensor that provides 30,000 dpi resolution, 52 G acceleration, and 8,000 Hz polling rate. This sensor also powers the M36R, but with its optical micro switches with a hardware optical encoder, which prevents the issue of double-clicking caused by electrical contact oxidation over time. The M25R is a quick charging wireless silent mouse, which leverages super capacitor technology. The mouse takes just 8 minutes to charge up for over 40 hours of use. It offers silent key switches. Connectivity options include 2.4 GHz RF, Bluetooth, and USB.

We now move on to keyboards, and greeting us is the 98% K85R keyboard, which comes in various colors, with various key switch and keycap options. The keyboard comes with a programmable rotary dial, and a 1.14-inch LCD screen. The K107R is a low-profile keyboard that's laid out similar to K85R, but lacking that 1.14-inch screen. This one implements an in-house low-profile key switch with 3.2 mm key travel, and 3-way connectivity. The K105R is a full-size low-profile keyboard with scissor key switches that offer 3.8 mm key travel. We've seen many color examples of this keyboard at the iRocks booth.

Thanks in part to our readers' comments on the back of the new Realtek 10 Gbps Ethernet solutions, we discovered a company that produces what appears to be the only 5 Gbps Ethernet switches in the entire world and it just so happens that they are attending Computex this week. The company goes under the name of Cirinet or Sirivision in China, but after our chat with them at the show, it appears that Apple has taken an issue with the company name, although it might not matter, since the company is largely an ODM/OEM. The company offers two 5 Gbps switches, both are eight port switches and are built around Realtek hardware.

The product on display at Computex is called the SR-S5G3008 and it's an 8-port managed switch, with the unmanaged model being the SRS5G1008. The SR-S5G3008 is a fully managed L3 switch and rather unusually, the company even claims to offers up its firmware for the switch under GPL terms, so at least in theory, it would be possible to download the source code and compile your own version of it. We did also ask about potential retail pricing and the company suggested a price range in the US$150-200 bracket for the unmanaged version. However, with the advent of the new Realtek 10 Gbps PHY, they expect the price difference between a 5 Gbps and a 10 Gbps version, otherwise identical, since the same switching IC would be used, to be less than US$50 in retail. This suggests that 5 Gbps switches might be dead before they've even hit the market, at least if Realtek delivers on their power consumption figures, as both options could be fanless, an advantage these two 5 Gbps switches have over 10 Gbps switches today.

At Computex 2025, Palit showed off its latest Pandora NXNano mini PC, bringing the power of NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Super to a truly pocket-sized AI platform. At its heart sits an eight-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU paired with a 1,024-core Ampere-architecture GPU (32 Tensor Cores), delivering up to 157 TOPS of sparse AI throughput and 78 TOPS dense performance. Up to 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory (102.4 GB/s bandwidth) and a pre-installed 128 GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD ensure both data-intensive models and large datasets run smoothly. Connectivity is generous: dual 10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C OTG port, plus USB 2.0 and HDMI 2.0 outputs. Four M.2 slots (for storage, Wi-Fi, 5G/LTE or video-capture cards), an 8-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera interface, and headers for I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and CAN Bus round out a very flexible I/O package.

Housed in a sleek 145×123 ×66 mm chassis, the NXNano balances performance and thermals with "superior thermal design" that includes two 50 mm high-efficiency fans, ensuring sustained workloads remain cool even under heavy AI inference. Removable base and side panels allow easy customization, whether adding 3D-printed shells or extra modules. The rugged aluminium frame accommodates DC input from 12 to 36 V. At just 470 g, this DIY-friendly unit is ideal for edge deployments in retail, digital signage, robotics, and education, putting enterprise-grade AI in a truly compact form factor.

Ocypus brought a slick new lineup of gaming PC cooling and cases to Computex 2025. We begin our tour with the Sigma L36 Pro, a premium AIO CLC with a cubical pump-block crowned with a 3.5-inch, high-quality true-color display with 640 x 480 pixels resolution, which appears elevated from the rest of the block, which itself is framed by an ARGB diffuser. The cooler comes in black and white color options, and this particular model, as its name suggests, comes with a 360 mm radiator. Ocypus had the display cycle some high-res video clips to demonstrate its quality. Next up, is the Sigma L36 ARGB, which is mostly the same cooler as the L36 Pro, but with a smaller, lower-resolution screen that's surrounded by a ring-shaped design element. The screen is detachable from the rest of the block. While the L36 Pro and L36 ARGB are in production, what's new and upcoming is the Sigma Ultra.

The upcoming Ocypus Sigma Ultra will be the company's flagship CLC product, with a round true-color LCD surrounded by a ring-shaped ARGB diffuser. What's unique to this cooler is its side cowling that opens up like a commercial jet engine with its thrust reversers engaged. These panels then guide airflow from a small fan onto the VRM area of the motherboard when the software controlling the cooler detects high VRM temperatures if they're exposed via ACPI; although you can manually set it to open, close, or stay halfway. The cooler also includes a compound fan that reduces cable clutter.

Endgame Gear made a striking appearance at Computex 2025 in Taipei, introducing a series of professional esports peripherals designed to shave milliseconds off every input. The centerpiece of the showcase was the KB65HE 8k, a compact 65% keyboard featuring true 8,000 Hz polling and scan rates alongside next-generation hall-effect sensors. Because each keystroke is detected magnetically without any physical contact, the keyboard offers virtually zero debounce delay and remarkable durability. Players can customize the actuation point from 0.1 mm to 4 mm, fine-tune press and release sensitivity with Rapid Trigger Technology, and turn on hardware-level SOCD cleaning to ensure flawless directional inputs, all of which support the split-second decision-making required at the highest levels of competition.

Endgame Gear also refined the keyboard's sound profile by replacing traditional silicone with a Poron sandwich pad and adding silicone dampeners beneath the stabilizers. The result is a deeper, more satisfying "thock" that muffles sharp clacks and provides a softer feel. Housed in a CNC-machined aluminium case, the KB65HE 8k weighs 1,050 g, offers a sleek black finish, and comes with spare feet for an optional 7.5° typing angle, compared with a 5° default. Doubleshot PBT keycaps enhance grip and scratch resistance, and hot-swappable Raesha Silent Magnetic switches require only 28 gf to actuate, making each keystroke quiet and effortless.

Azza—maker of unique PC cases—drew widespread attention at Computex 2025 with its bold new cube-cluster designs that combine striking aesthetics and high-performance cooling. On display is the distorted cube design, with an unknown name for now. The top module contains three 120 mm ARGB fans that draw cool air through a perforated mesh panel, illuminating the interior with cascading light. The middle cube supports ATX motherboards and dual-slot graphics cards, while the bottom section accommodates power supplies and up to four storage drives. Azza offered two elegant finishes at the booth: classic black with smoky tempered glass and a limited-edition silver with mirror-like accents. The design incorporates integrated cable channels and quick-release thumbscrews to ease installation for builders of all skill levels. Practical features include magnetic dust filters on all fan intakes, the capacity for 360 mm radiators, and an optional fourth cube that serves as a VR and streaming docking bay.

In addition to new PC cases, PSUs, and peripherals, Corsair also brought an updated version of the NAUTILUS RS AIO CPU cooler and new RS-R ARGB fans to the Computex 2025 show. As you may have guessed from the name, the NAUTILUS RS will be getting an LCD screen, and Corsair is also announcing an NAUTILUS RS LCD module, which can be used to upgrade any NAUTILUS RS or NAUTILUS RS ARGB Series AIO cooler. The company is also announcing its new RS-R ARGB fans.

The new NAUTILUS RS LCD AIO CPU cooler is an upgrade to the NAUTILUS RS series launched last year, and were a mainstream offer from Corsair, at least compared to the iCUE-based AIOs. The original NAUTILUS RS was relying on motherboard lighting software and were not compatible with CapSwap modules. Now, with NAUTILUS RS LCD, you get best of both worlds, an LCD screen controllable via iCUE and standard fan control. The NAUTILUS RS LCD will be available in 240 and 360 mm versions and both black and white color options, and comes with new RS120 fans. It uses a convex cold plate, and features a 2.1-inch IPS LCD screen, which you can use to display images, GIFs, or system information, all via Corsair's own iCUE. Corsair also announced the NAUTILUS LCD RS Module, a drop-in upgrade for any NAUTILUS RS or NAUTILUS RS ARGB Series AIO cooler. It is a simple pump cap replacement with 2.1-inch IPS screen that connects via USB.

The Thermalright brand is synonymous with tower-type CPU coolers, but they've branched out significantly into other allied product lines, including cases and power supplies over the years. The company brought a wealth of its latest innovations to Computex 2025. We were drawn into the booth with a unique open-frame, liquid-cooled mini PC powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS MoD (mobile on desktop) platform. This machine is slightly smaller than a game console, but has a fully fledged liquid cooling loop cooling the SoC, while additional heatsinks cover the M.2 NVMe SSDs. There's even small square color display to put out real time system monitoring stats.

While this mini PC is in the shape of an open-air frame, the company also showed us a closed, cuboidal, liquid cooled mini PC, which comes with a handle, and a neatly executed RGB diffuser along the base. Much like its open-air sibling, it has a square true-color display. This one is powered by the Ryzen 7 7840HS. Both these chips are older generation, but Thermalright intends to showcase the capability of its mini PC cases.

Montech is showcasing the yet-to-be-released CyberFlow 360 AIO liquid cooler with an improved and interesting pump design that surely looks impressive.

Montech is also preparing a new addition to its HyperFlow AIO liquid coolers with the new HyperFlow Digital 360/240 series that now features a digital display to monitor CPU and GPU temperatures. On the air cooling segment, Montech has on display the NX400 / NX400 ARGB CPU cooler featuring a single tower design with a radiator with 52 fins, a single 120 mm E28 series fan and four heatpipes. The NX400 series will launch this June with an MSRP of $25.90 / $29.90 for the ARGB version. A bigger version named NX600 / NX600 ARGB is due to be launched in Q4 2025, featuring a dual-tower, dual-fan design and six heatpipes.

In addition to the future PC cases, Lian Li also showcased its new HydroShift III AIO CPU cooler at the Computex 2025 show, which features a beautiful curved 2K screen, as well as new DWS, RS, RB, and SP Series power supplies.

Designed for adaptability, the Lian Li HydroShift III not only has a curved 2K LCD screen, but it is also motorized, allowing for horizontal and vertical movement for best possible positioning. The HydroShift III also comes with a VRM cooling fan above the pump which should improve both RAM and VRM cooling, using metal tubing with a rigid structure for cleaner tube routing. The HydroShift III should come in Q4, with a target price of $269.99. Lian Li also showcased the HydroShift II LCD-C CL, which will be coming later in May for $179.99, and this one uses a standard circular LCD screen.

At Computex 2025 in Taipei, NZXT revealed its latest refresh, focused on improving thermal performance and simplifying the building process. The company introduced two new chassis, updated AIO liquid coolers, and its first 420 mm cooling solutions, all designed to give PC enthusiasts more options when assembling high-performance rigs. The spotlight was on the H9 Flow family, which now includes the base H9 Flow (MSRP $169.99), the H9 Flow RGB ($209.99), and the fully equipped H9 Flow RGB+ ($289.99).

These dual-chamber mid-towers accommodate up to 420 mm radiators at both the front and top, while fine-mesh panels and an angled front-right fan arrangement borrowed from the popular H6 Flow help channel cool air directly to critical components. The RGB+ model arrives with two front F420 RGB Core fans, a 120 mm RGB Core exhaust fan, and an integrated NZXT Control Hub so that lighting and cooling are synchronized straight out of the box via CAM software.

Sapphire brought unique new hardware to Computex 2025. We begin our tour with the new Sapphire Edge AI line of mini PCs.

It is powered by AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" mobile processor, with two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 96 GB of memory. Storage comes from a 1 TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD. The CPU is configured with 12 cores (4x Zen 5 + 8x Zen 5c), while the maxed out RDNA 3.5 iGPU has 16 CU. The XDNA 2 NPU is clocked for 50 AI TOPS, and meets Microsoft Copilot+ requirements.

Next up, is the Sapphire X870EA Wi-Fi PhantomLink Edition motherboard. This is Sapphire's first high-end motherboard in years. The Socket AM5 motherboard is based on the flagship AMD X870E chipset, and offers premium connectivity and I/O features. It's also designed to visually match the company's latest Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+ graphics card, but its most striking feature is PhantomLink. This is a backside power delivery feature similar to ASUS BTF. The main PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slot has a trailing power delivery slot that relays power from a 12V-2x6 power input located next to the 24-pin ATX connector on the motherboard. This may not be a complete backside I/O motherboard, but at least keeps the graphics card free from any power cables sticking out. To use PhantomLink, however, you need a compatible graphics card, and Sapphire showed us the Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+ PhantomLink Edition.

We could not miss stopping by Montech's booth at Computex 2025, since we had a feeling they would be preparing new products. And we were right, Montech's booth was packed with upcoming PC cases spanning all formats, from full-sized towers to compact small form factors. On display were several key product lines: the flagship Sky case series, the King high-end dual-chamber lineup with curved tempered glass, and the upcoming small form factor Ten case family.

Enermax CPU and case cooling product lineup shown at Computex 2025 is led by the Aquasoar series. The Aquasoar 360 is the company's premium AIO CLC featuring a pump-block with not one, but two displays. The larger 3.5-inch main display is along the top of the pump-block, while the smaller 2.4-inch one moves on a hinge—you can have it face the top, or the side. Each of the three 120 mm radiator fans comes in a uniquely designed fan frame, and implements daisy-chaining to reduce cable clutter.

The Aquasoar ACS 360 is a step up from the Aquasoar 360, with three exclusive features—its cold plate implements AeroCore Structure (ACS), which extends the copper cold-plate with an extruded aluminium heatsink. A 70 mm fan sits on top of this heatsink, airflow from this fan not just dissipates heat from this heatsink, but also cools the VRM area. The third exclusive feature is its 360 mm x 120 mm compound fan replacing the daisy-chained 3x 120 mm, which further reduces the cable clutter. Each impeller can push up to 82 CFM of airflow.

Enermax at the 2025 Computex showed us their latest PSU products, led by the Platimax II series, which meets ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 specs, and offering 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency. The series is led by the Platimax II 2400DF, a 2400 W PSU designed for workstations that have up to four high-end GPUs for AI inferencing. The PSU puts out four 600 W rated 12V-2x6 power connectors, and uses what looks like a dual +12 V rail design. It uses a 140 mm double ball-bearing fan to keep cool, and includes a fanless mode up to a certain load percentage.

Positioned just a notch below this is the Platimax II 1600DF, a 1600 W PSU that puts out two 600 W rated 12V-2x6 connections, and comes in the same 18 cm-long body as the 2400DF, using a 140 mm double ball-bearing fan, and including a fanless mode. Below the 2400DF and 1600DF are a trio of performance-segment variants, which include the 850DF, the 1000DF, and the 1200DF. These three come in a smaller 15 cm-long body, use 135 mm double ball-bearing fan, and each of the three puts out a single 600 W rated 12V-2x6.

Cryorig at the 2025 Computex showed off a new concept of a nearly silent PC, called Lull. Imagine a regular AIO liquid cooling loop, but instead of a radiator that relies on active airflow to dissipate heat to, a large extruded aluminium heatsink radiator is used. This radiator is similar in concept to a domestic heating appliance, with its thick metal ridges, and takes up almost the entire left side panel, measuring 400 mm x 400 mm, with a height of 30 mm, and weighting about 3.9 kg. Heat from the loop's coolant is spread uniformly across the radiator, and passively dissipates to the air. With this, only noise from the loop is from the pump-block.

The pump-block used in Lull comes with a round color display with an ARGB ring around it. Cryorig used the exact same pump-block with a conventional 360 mm x 120 mm airflow-based radiator and a trio of daisy-chained 120 mm fans, to create the Cryo360 AIO CLC. Next up, is the Gladius Astral, a premium air cooler, which uses an aluminium dual fin-stack design (D-type), with two 120 mm fans in push-pull configuration, and segment display on top.Pictures of the Cryorig Gladius Astral follow.
