ASRock Industrial has announced the launch of its NUC(S) Ultra 300 BOX Series, powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors. Built to unlock every dimension of AI performance, the new series takes compact computing to the next level, delivering up to 180 TOPS of AI inferencing power with up to 16 CPU cores, advanced Xe3 graphics, and NPU 5.0 for AI acceleration.

Featuring up to dual 2.5G LAN, support for 8K quad displays, high-speed DDR5 7200 MHz memory, and Wi-Fi 7, the NUC(S) Ultra 300 BOX Series delivers exceptional responsiveness for AI-enhanced work environments, digital creation and immersive visual experiences. With its compact form factor and advanced AI capabilities, it empowers users across industries from commercial operations and development to gaming and prosumer innovation to expand what's possible with AI.

Even though this year CES show lacked major desktop-class GPU launches, ASRock featured several graphics cards. Among those, one interesting product on display was a single-slot, passively cooled workstation-class card, namely the Intel Arc Pro B60 Passive 24 GB. The card is designed for scalable multi-GPU systems and features (as said) a single-slot, passively cooled design, making it suitable for dense workstation or server deployments. It is based on Intel 5 nm BMG-G21 graphics processor with Xe2-HPG architecture and comes with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, PCIe 5.0 support, and four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. ASRock noted that this passive model is intended for business and enterprise customers only and will not be sold through retail channels. For users looking for a retail option, ASRock also showed the Intel Arc Pro B60 Creator 24 GB, which uses a more conventional dual-slot blower-style cooler.

On the AMD side, the company presented the Radeon AI Pro R9700 Creator 32 GB, targeting similar professional and AI-focused workloads. ASRock booth also featured several consumer Radeon cards, including the Radeon RX 9060 XT Steel Legend 16 GB OC, RX 9060 XT Challenger 16 GB, and Radeon RX 9070 XT Monster Hunter Wilds Edition (our extended review here), developed in collaboration with Capcom.More images follow.

With Intel and AMD both knee-deep into a desktop CPU refresh cycle, it's expected that new motherboard revisions will pop up at CES 2026. This is just what the TechPowerUp team spotted at the ASRock booth at the annual trade show. Although specifications are scarce, we got a glimpse at ASRock's upcoming AM5 and Intel LGA 1851 motherboards. While there are some new additions and other returning brand series coming, many of the motherboards on show at CES are simply refreshes that try to capture the essence of existing ASRock motherboards in new form factors or with new color schemes.

New to AMD's B850 chipset is the ASRock B850M Challenger WiFi, which looks to be a microATX version of the existing B850 Challenger WiFi ATX motherboard—a fairly feature-rich motherboard with a well-equipped VRM, Wi-Fi 7 support, and plenty of rear I/O. From the looks of the prototypes the TechPowerUp team spotted at CES 2026, the biggest difference between the microATX version and the original is the omission of one of the PCIe x4 slots, as it seems as though even the four-slot spacing between the full-size PCIe slots was maintained. The B850M Challenger motherboard will be available in both black and white colorways. Both versions of the Challenger WiFi will also feature four DDR5 RAM slots, although it's unclear what RAM compatibility will look like. ASRock also debuted the Challenger B860 WiFi for Intel's socket LGA 1851 CPUs.

ASRock at the 2026 International CES showed off its latest PSUs. Starting things off is the new ASRock 12V-2x6 L-type modular PSU cable. This cable comes with 16 AWG wires for its main power lines, and is 70 cm in length. It is capable of 12V-2x6 with 600 W continuous output and meets ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 CEM specs. Besides its 12 power pins and 4 sensor pins, there are two additional detachable pins, which connect a compatible PSU to a thermal diode located in the VGA-end of the cable. When it senses that temperature within the connector has crossed a certain safety threshold, the PSU's over-temperature protection (OTP) kicks in and turns off your machine. You will lose work, but might end up saving your high-end graphics card. The cable's temperature pins work with ASRock's Taichi, Phantom Gaming, and Steel Legend Platinum series PSUs).

ASRock PRO series PSUs are the company's mainstream non-modular (fixed cable) PSU lineup, these come in 850 W (600 W 12V-2x6), 750 W (450 W 12V-2x6), and 650 W (450 W 12V-2x6) models, and meet ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 specs, offering 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency. The Steel Legend Platinum series are a premium line of PSUs positioned above, with full modular cabling. These can be had in 850 W, 1000 W, and 1200 W models, each of which have 600 W-capable 12V-2x6. The 1200 W model in fact comes with two 600 W 12V-2x6). You get 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency, along with Cybenetics Platinum switching and Cybenetics A acoustics. The Phantom Gaming (SFX) series comes in 850 W and 1000 W, featuring not just 600 W 12V-2x6, but also connector OTP, 92 mm cooling fans, and 5 V rail power boost.

ASRock made a splash at CES 2026 by introducing their first line of AIO watercoolers, marking a new venture for the company that has long served PC enthusiasts. The standout models are the flagship Taichi AQUA series, featuring swappable magnetic tops that allow users to choose between a 3.4-inch LCD screen or a clear panel to view the coolant flow. Designed for heavy-duty systems, these models boast dual pumps capable of handling over 500 watts and come with thick 38 mm radiators. The other four series cater to gamers and general PC builders. The Phantom Gaming series offers RGB lighting and additional cooling for VRM components, while the Steel Legend series emphasizes durability with industrial-grade bearings. The Challenger and Pro series are designed for those seeking effective cooling without breaking the bank. The Challenger series is straightforward, featuring a smaller 3-inch display and easy installation, while the Pro series offers a balance with some RGB effects and reliable performance.Pictures of Challenger and Pro series follow.

Earlier today, ASRock granted TechPowerUp access to its mostly new product laden Las Vegas hotel suite, where several brand-new mini PC systems immediately drew the eye. The Taiwanese manufacturer's DeskSlim B760 is already a somewhat known property, but over a month later, it is encouraging to examine a demonstration unit in-person. ASRock's demo example was already opened up when TPU turned up on the scene; clearly showing Intel hardware-based innards. Team Blue's reference Arc Pro B50 "Battlemage" workstation-grade graphics card is dinky enough to fit inside the DeskSlim B760 model's ultra-compact 4.9-liter chassis. Also, a Laminar RH-style air cooler was crammed into the tight interior space—tasked with cooling up to Intel 14th Gen Core CPUs. A nearby product placard mentions that the AMD-based DeskSlim X600 variant is also on the way to launch.

ASRock, the global leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, mini PCs, power supplies, and gaming monitors, today officially unveiled its complete next-generation AIO liquid cooling lineup, marking a major step forward in the company's evolution into a comprehensive PC hardware solutions provider. Building on decades of proven engineering expertise in motherboards and graphics cards, ASRock now extends its design philosophy and thermal know-how into a full-spectrum AIO liquid cooler portfolio designed to support extreme enthusiast systems, professional workstations, gaming rigs, and mainstream PC builds alike.

Spanning the flagship Taichi series, professional-grade WS series, hardcore gaming-dedicated Phantom Gaming series, the durable Steel Legend series, and the mainstream-focused Challenger and Pro series, each lineup is purpose-built for its intended audience while remaining unified by ASRock's core DNA of performance, stability, and long-term reliability.
