ASRock Showcases Radeon RX 9070 XT Phantom Gaming with 12V-2x6 Power Input

When ASRock debuted its Radeon RX 9070 series graphics cards, the Phantom Gaming brand was conspicuously absent—you had cards from the Taichi, Steel Legend, and Challenger brands, but not Phantom Gaming. It looks like ASRock is close to fixing this. At Computex 2026, the company showcased a build with a "prototype" graphics card that very clearly has Phantom Gaming branding. This card is very different in design to the Radeon RX 7900 XT Phantom Gaming series from the previous generation. For one, it features a 12V-2x6 power input, and not the triple 8-pin setup.

The cooler shroud has a significantly updated design, with elements and motifs from the company's latest Phantom Gaming motherboards based on Intel 800-series and AMD 800-series chipsets. An ARGB LED diffuser runs along the edge of the cooler shroud, while two metal streaks cross the central fan frame. The three fans ventilate a dual aluminium fin-stack heatsink. Cutouts in the backplate push out most of the airflow from the third fan. ASRock's graphics card range also included its recently announced Arc Pro B60 and B70 graphics cards based on the maxed out "Battlemage" silicon. These cards are squarely targeted at creators.

ASRock CPU Coolers at Computex: an AIO with a 3D Holographic Fan

ASRock doesn't just want to be just another entrant to the highly saturated AIO liquid CPU cooler market, it wants to win. The company introduced the ASRock Taichi 360 Holo, a very fascinating new AIO CLC. Instead of choosing between a display or an auxiliary fan, ASRock chose both—the pump-block has a 3D holographic fan. The spinning fan cools components around the CPU socket area, while its blades are laced with ARGB LEDs that project 3D holographic images onto the impeller as it turns. The pump-block is connected to a 360 × 120 mm radiator that's ventilated by a compound fan. This doesn't look like an aftermarket fitment, the compound fan's frame has additional vinyl decals in the ASRock Taichi theme.

Next up, is the ASRock Taichi Aqua 360. This is one of the rare few AIO CLCs that actually let you see the coolant flowing through the closed loop. The pump-block has an acrylic top with steel trim on top. The top is studded with ARGB LEDs. That's not all, the tubing has a wheel-type flow indicator—two features ASRock tried to borrow from DIY liquid cooling. The cooler also includes a square, 4-inch true-color OLED screen that can be mounted on top of the pump-block, and connected via USB-C. Unlike the Taichi Holo, which uses a compound fan, the Taichi Aqua includes three individual 120 mm high static-pressure fans that interlock with each other without cables.

ASRock Power Supplies at Computex 2026

ASRock is branching out substantially into new segments of PC hardware over the past couple of years, from its traditional market of motherboards and graphics cards. The company brought a big lineup of PSUs and CPU coolers to Computex 2026. The new PRO series PSUs from ASRock address the mainstream-thru-performance segments of the market, providing features such as full-modular cabling, 80 Plus Gold efficiency, and Cybenetics A+ acoustic rating at mainstream price-points. These ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 CEM-ready PSUs come in 750, 850, and 1000 W variants, all three of which offer 600 W-capable 12V-2x6 connectors. The PSUs use 135 mm fans, with under 20 dB noise output for the 1000 W variant, and under 15 dB for the 750 W variant. ASRock is backing these PSUs with a generous 10-year product warranty.

A notch above, is the new ASRock Steel Legend series, which comes in 850, 1000, and 1200 W variants, offering 80 Plus Platinum and Cybenetics Platinum-rated switching efficiency, along with Cybenetics A+ acoustics for the 850 and 1000 W variants; Cybenetics A acoustics for the 1200 W variant. These PSUs offer temperature protection on the 12V-2x6 connectors, with dual color connectors that let you visually see proper connection by contrasting against the graphics card's connector; and thicker 16 AWG wires on each of the 12 power pins of the 12V-2x6 connector.

ASRock Celebrates A Decade of Taichi Mastery and Expands Its AI Ecosystem at Computex
