Cooler Master Unveils New Custom Water Cooling Hardware for Workstation PCs

Cooler Master has been on a roll at Computex 2026, showing off a host of new air cooling and case hardware, but the hardware company has also debuted some interesting water cooling options that it plans to both sell as standalone hardware and in new pre-built workstation PCs. The new cooling line-up consists of both a CPU and GPU water block designed for workstation CPUs and a 360 × 360 mm radiator that Cooler Master calls the 360² Radiator, with accompanying 180 mm fans. The new liquid cooling system is allegedly capable of cooling up to 2,000 W of thermal load. The new radiator and CPU water block come with new Y-shaped hoses, which disperse liquid through the radiator. The example Cooler Master had at Computex had hot water entering two inlets in the center of the radiator and two outlets on opposite ends of the same edge of the radiator. Alternatively, it looks as though the cooling can be routed so that the CPU and GPU inlets and outlets are on opposite sides of the radiator. The radiator was also mounted in a separate chamber behind the motherboard tray, which appears to be basically the only feasible option, given its size.

At Computex, Cooler Master showed off an early prototype of what it is calling the MasterWorkStation: Project MasterFrame 800, a pre-built PC built around its aluminium MasterFrame 800 PC case. The exact specs of the workstation PC are being kept under wraps, but it was clear to see that the PC contained four ASRock AMD Radeon AI Pro R9700 GPUs and what looks to be an ASRock WRX90 WS EVO DDR5 motherboard, which means it will support AMD's latest Threadripper Pro 9000 and 7000 WX-series processors, up to eight DDR5 DIMMs, seven PCIe 5.0 ×16 expansion cards, SlimSAS SFF-8654 SSDs, and 10 Gb networking. ASRock is pitching the new MasterWorkStation workstations as a powerful option for everything from AI training to data processing, creative work, and general compute-heavy workloads. It remains to be seen when these workstations will launch or at what price point.

Cooler Master Debuts New Budget and Quiet Workstation PC Cases and Airflow Ducts

We have already covered some nifty innovative concepts at Cooler Master's Computex 2026 booth, but the brand is also debuting a new series of cases, ranging from compact affordable models to behemoth workstation cases with silent operation ambitions. Starting with the more affordable consumer case line-up, the Cooler Master Qube line-up is getting both an aesthetic and a size update, with new polished stainless steel and wood-trimmed versions of the Qube 540 E-ATX case, and a new compact Qube 340 case for Mini-ITX and microATX builds. Cooler Master is aiming to launch the Qube 340 at around $45-55 around late July, although an exact date is yet to be confirmed. Despite the small form factor, measuring in at just 386.1 × 230 × 429.4 mm, the Qube 340 has enough internal room for a full-size ATX PSU, up to four 2.5-inch drives, and a 3.5-inch drive bay. The Qube 340 features highly customizable, interchangeable panels and optional, customizable mesh panels. It also comes with a 140 mm non-ARGB fan pre-installed, and the front panel I/O features 2× USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, 1× USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port, and a 3.5 mm audio combo jack.

Cooler Master has also updated both its high-end gaming and workstation-grade cases, which have an emphasis on a clean aesthetic, low noise emissions, and hardware compatibility. The new Silencio 600 case is an updated version of the noise-optimized case that also prioritizes airflow, thanks to what Cooler Master describes as a noise trapping maze and a special fabric composite material that helps damp fan noise in the front panel. Behind that front panel, the Silencio case can fit up to two 180 mm fans. If high airflow is more your speed, Cooler Master is also showing off the HAF II 500, which is the latest iteration of the legendary HAF case, this time launching alongside a massive 40 mm thick 220 mm thick Mighty40 F220 fan—two of which will be able to be installed in the front intake of the new HAF II 500. The new HAF case will also be able to fit a single 180 × 40 mm exhaust fan in the rear exhaust position. The HAF II 500 is also expected to launch around the end of July 2026.

Cooler Master Showcases Hybrid CPU Cooler and Innovative Master Flow GPU Exhaust Fans at Computex

At Computex 2026, we've covered a number of well-designed and unique CPU coolers, from the new Cryorig semi-passive cooling case to AIO coolers with swiveling displays on them, and Cooler Master is expanding the list of innovative products at the show with its new hybrid AIO CPU cooler, a new GPU exhaust system, and new active RAM cooling developed in conjunction with. Arguably the most interesting of the lot, and winner of a TechPowerUp "Best of Computex" award, the G11M is a concept cooler that combines air and liquid cooling in an attempt to reach 400 W of cooling capacity. The G11M uses liquid channels, cooling fins, and a downward-firing fan mounted directly on the CPU block to start the heat dissipation process before the warm liquid inside the AIO has even left the CPU block. The rest of the cooler is effectively just a regular 360 mm AIO, so it would theoretically deliver the same performance as a regular AIO with the added benefit of the CPU block cooling and additional airflow over the VRMs and memory.

Cooler Master and G.SKILL Partner to Bring Active Cooling Technology to DDR5 Memory

Cooler Master, a global leader in innovative thermal solutions and PC hardware, today announced a partnership with G.SKILL to introduce new MasterDimm AC DDR5 memory featuring active cooling technology from Cooler Master. MasterDimm AC will be showcased during Computex 2026 at Cooler Master's Taipei headquarters, where the company will present its broader thermal engineering vision across AI infrastructure, workstations, gaming systems, and next-generation PC platforms.

Designed for next-generation AI computing, gaming, content creation, and professional applications, this new memory supports ultra-high capacities up to 64GBx2 while maintaining long-duration stability under intensive workloads. Cooler Master's active thermal design helps ensure sustained memory performance, signal integrity, and reliable operation during continuous high-load usage.
