Thermaltake Shows New AIO CPU Coolers, Dual Infinity Mirror Fan Series, and V75 Max Keyboards

Thermaltake used CES 2026 to showcase several new cooling and peripheral products. The first of them is the ST360 Ultra ARGB Sync, a 360 mm AIO liquid cooler with a layout designed to reduce visible tubing by placing it on the side of the block. Its main feature is a detachable 7-inch magnetic IPS display, which can show system stats or custom visuals and can be repositioned elsewhere in the case. The cooler uses a single-frame 360 mm ARGB fan to reduce cable clutter and is available in Black and Snow, with standard motherboard ARGB sync support. The MINECUBE 360 Ultra ARGB Sync launched last year in November, features a distinctive quad-LCD cube design and comes bundled with three SWAFAN EX12 ARGB fans with swappable reversed fan blades. It also includes an upgraded pump head aimed at improved cooling performance.

Thermaltake also introduced several new fans built around its dual infinity mirror lighting concept. The WF120 EX ARGB fans offer a distinctive look by integrating real wood accents into the frame and the dual-layer infinity mirror hub. It supports magnetic daisy-chaining and motherboard RGB sync. The same lighting design is used across the CT EX INFINITY ARGB, SWAFAN EX INFINITY ARGB, and SWAFAN UNIFY ARGB fans. These models share a 28 mm thick frame, hidden screw pads, and simplified cabling. SWAFAN models retain Thermaltake's swappable fan blade design, while the UNIFY version uses a single-frame structure. On the peripheral side, Thermaltake showed the V75 Max Wireless mechanical keyboard, featuring a CNC aluminium case, rotary knob, gasket-mounted design, tri-mode connectivity, and a 4000 mAh battery. A RETROCRAFT 75 Special Edition in Retro White was also on display, tying into the newly launched Thermaltake retro-themed lineup.

Thermaltake Adds Wood Accents to TR300 Mid Tower ATX PC Case

Thermaltake showed off its TR300 and TR200 PC cases alongside a wood-accented version of the TR100 SFF PC case at Computex in May 2025, and it announced that the TR200 and TR300 cases would also be available with the wood front panels, however this doesn't seem to have materialized just yet. At CES 2026, though, Thermaltake has shown off the TR300 WS, which is the TR300 TG case with wood accent strips on the front panel. This configuration of the case will be available in white with light wood accents or black with dark wood accents.

Perhaps more interestingly, Thermaltake has also debuted the TR300 CB, which features two-tone magnetic wood blocks that attach to the steel mesh front panel, which has a grid layout molded into it to seat the magnetic blocks. The TR300 CB was shown off in both black and white colorways, and it seems as though that will be the available configurations when the case eventually makes it to market. As is the case with the TR300 WS case variants, the case layout and compatibility remains otherwise unchanged from the original TR300 TG, although it remains to be seen how covering up that much of the front panel with magnets and wood will affect cooling performance. On a more positive note, the wood blocks seem easy enough to replicate with something like a 3D printer or CNC machine, and the magnets can seemingly easily be unscrewed from the wood blocks.

Thermaltake Showcases Core PX Infinity WS ARGB Case

Thermaltake debuted a number of new retro PC cases and some flashy new PSU hardware at CES 2026, but aside from the limited edition Koralie TR100 case, one of the most striking cases presented on the show floor in Las Vegas has to be the Thermaltake Core PX Infinity WS ARGB. That mouthful of a name has been bestowed upon a new open frame chassis that Thermaltake has been working on. The Core PX Infinity WS ARGB features a double-curved tempered glass side panel, front-mounted wood accents, and dual infinity mirrors, and is designed to be built as a statement piece. It also supports vertical GPU mounting and even has an option to be wall mounted. It also sports a wood panel that covers the PSU to match the aesthetic of the front wood slats.

The Thermaltake Core PX Infinity WS ARGB has integrated addressable RGB lighting in the infinity mirror panels on the top and front panels, and it has decent support for cooling hardware, with up to 420 mm radiators supported in the motherboard-adjacent position. The open air design, means that not much airflow is needed, so that's about where support for cooling hardware ends. The case is also compatible with the Thermaltake 6-inch screen kit, which was also shown off at the CES booth. Pricing and availability for the Core PX Infinity WS ARGB have not yet been announced, but features like the double-curved tempered glass side panel tend to inflate costs dramatically, so expect this to be on the high end. It will be available in both Snow (white) and black color ways. Curiously, the build TechPowerUp's CES team spotted on the show floor had the side panel rotated 90° from the orientation shown in Thermaltake's official CES information packet, with the wood "front panels" being moved to the top to accommodate the change, suggesting that the case can accommodate a number of configurations.

Thermaltake Expands Its Sim Racing Lineup at CES 2026

Thermaltake's CES 2026 booth was packed with racing simulator products, as the manufacturer seems determined to build an entire ecosystem. This year, Thermaltake came to CES with three new cockpits alongside other racing gear. The GR900 has a rigid aluminium frame, supports triple-monitor configurations, adjustable seats, and integrates with the S700 GT Racing bucket seat. The GR700 features a sturdy tubular steel frame, motion feedback, a built-in monitor mount for curved displays, and RGB lighting. The GK500 brings the posture and feel of karting to the racing simulator. It uses an ergonomic design to suit a wide range of users and has adjustable components. All these three new cockpits are compatible with Thermaltake GM5 3DOF Motion System, XRW-G1 GT Steering Wheel, XRP-L1 Loadcel Pedal Set, and other racing sim products

Along with the three cockpits, Thermaltake also introduced the XRW G1 Steering Wheel. It features a 5-inch touchscreen and sports aluminium clutch and shifter paddles. Specifications includes 15 customizable RGB LED light strip, 3+3 RGB LED flag indicators, ten RGB backlit buttons, three front rotary encoders, two thumb rotary encoders, front and rear toggle switches, and dual five-way funky switches. Next we have the XRP L1 Loadcell Pedal Set. This promises realistic braking performance, featuring adjustable settings, a sturdy aluminium frame, Hall sensors, and USB-C connectivity. Both the XRW G1 Steering Wheel and the XRP L1 Loadcell Pedal Set are scheduled for launch in March 2026 alongside the GK500 cockpit.

Thermaltake Debuts View Cross TG Dual-System Case and TR100 Koralie Limited Edition Chassis

Thermaltake introduced at CES 2026 two new PC cases aimed at very different audiences. The View Cross TG is a concept design dual-system microATX chassis designed to run two PCs in a single enclosure. Available in Black and Snow color options, the case supports up to two microATX motherboards, dual power supplies mounted behind the motherboard tray, and up to thirteen 120 mm fans. Cooling support up to 2x 280 mm AIO radiators (side) stacked, up to 2x 360 mm radiators (top/side), or combos with 280 mm (side only). Storage options include up to four 3.5-inch hard drives and six 2.5-inch SSDs. The top I/O panels (2 sets) feature 4x USB 3.0 + 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and 2x HD Audio. This Thermaltake idea can be useful in some cases, bringing a certain degree of ergonomics to the desk area. However, we can see one "small problem": it will be a little more difficult to quickly "pack your own things and leave". No exact info on availability and pricing.

Also on display was the TR100 Koralie Edition, a limited-edition (500 units) Mini-ITX case created in collaboration with French artist Koralie. It is based on the existing TR100 series, a compact 18.4-liter small form factor chassis that uses a dual-chamber layout and includes a PCIe 4.0 riser cable. It supports SFX power supplies, up to two 120 mm or 140 mm fans on the top, and AIO liquid coolers up to 280 mm. Thermaltake also offers optional accessories such as a 3.9-inch LCD screen kit and a portable gaming suitcase. Each TR100 Koralie Edition case is hand-signed and features a hand-numbered plate, available from Q1 2026 at $169.99.

Thermaltake's Retro Lineup Showcased at CES 2026, Combining Modern With Retro Design

Thermaltake brought its full Retro series to the CES 2026 show, including new cases, LCD screens, AIO coolers, and keyboards, showing what can be done when you combine modern specifications and features with retro design, and it definitely looks good. The new Thermaltake Retro lineup includes the Retro 260 TG and Retro 360 TG PC cases, which cover microATX and mid-tower form-factors, new retro LCD screens, Retro Ultra ARGB Sync AIO liquid cooler in 240 mm and 360 mm versions that comes with a 3.6-inch retro-style TFT screen, and the RetroCraft keyboard and RetroSwift mouse to complement the setup.

Thermaltake Intros TH-S V3 ARGB Sync AIO CPU Coolers

Thermaltake today introduced the TH-S V3 ARGB Sync, a line of mid-range all-in-one, liquid CPU coolers. The cooler comes in black and white color trims, and in radiator size-based variants of 240 mm and 360 mm for each. These coolers are characterized by a simple segment LED display that puts out CPU temperature, usage average, clock speed, and power draw values. It pulls these values by interfacing with software over USB, which in turn gets them from ACPI.

The display is framed by an ARGB light strip that illuminates the CPU socket area. The included 120 mm fans come with ARGB lighting of their own. Both the CPU block and fan lighting is controlled using the same TT RGB Plus software that sends ACPI readings to the segment display. The pump-block comes with a speed range of 800 to 2,500 RPM. Meanwhile, the included 120 mm fans turn at speeds ranging between 500 and 2,500 RPM, pushing up to 85.29 CFM of airflow at 3.86 mm H₂O static pressure, and maximum noise output of 37.8 dBA. The company didn't reveal pricing or availability information.
