DeepCool's Prototype SFF PC Takes the CPU Cooler to Fresh Air

We've already covered a number of DeepCool's latest innovations at Computex 2026, from its latest CPU and AIO coolers to its new silent daisy-chain fans, but the brand has also shown off a new prototype SFF PC that flips the script on PC building. The as-yet-unnamed mini PC packs the motherboard and main hardware into a small chassis with a cutout over the CPU where one of DeepCool's new Assassin V coolers sticks out into the open air. This protruding CPU tower cooler presents two main advantages: The CPU always has unfettered access to fresh, cool air, and CPU performance is no longer constrained by the size of the cooler that can fit into the case.

Of course, there are obvious drawbacks, namely that there is a giant hole in the case, where dust will undoubtedly enter the mini PC, and that the air being forced through the tower cooler isn't filtered, so dust and debris will eventually accumulate on the CPU cooler. In addition to the CPU cooler that sticks out of the case, DeepCool's prototype mini PC has a GPU module, which is a separate compartment entirely that connects to the CPU/motherboard module with a PCIe riser cable and slots in under the base module. The compartmentalization of components would likely help with cooling, but also serves to enhance the aesthetics of the mini PC somewhat. It's unclear if and when the prototype mini PC will launch, but it will likely have to compete with the likes of the Steam Machine if it does make it to the mass market. DeepCool also didn't give any indication of what sort of internals we could expect from this prototype, but given the standard cooler compatibility and full-length PCIe riser, it seems likely that the modular mini PC is hiding an ITX or microATX motherboard.

DeepCool Launches Updated PC Case Fans for Quiet and Tidy Builds at Computex 2026

DeepCool showed off a number of slick new CPU coolers at Computex 2026, which we already covered previously, but some of the company's new fans might be even more interesting to PC builders—especially those looking for silent and clutter-free PC builds. The update to DeepCool's fan line-up sees the brand update its daisy-chain FL12 fans with the INF versions, which now feature ARGB-illuminated infinity mirrors on the edges of the fans that would normally be visible in a daisy-chain setup. The FL12 INF will, like the other fans in the FL12 series, be available in black or white and with both regular and reverse fan blade orientations.

DeepCool has also announced a revised version of the FD12 and FD12 ARGB fans, called the FD12 ARGB V2 and FD12 V2. With the update, DeepCool has redesigned the FD12 fan blades with an integral design that it calls a "closed fan wheel design," which is essentially just a ring that connects the exteriors of all the fan blades. DeepCool says this allows the FD12 V2s to deliver higher airflow, more static pressure, and lower noise, with claims of a 7% increased effective cooling area. The new FD12 ARGB V2 fans feature the same second-generation eight-pin daisy-chain connection, and they have nine ARGB LEDs for color-matching purposes, while the non-RGB FD12 V2s forego both RGB and daisy-chaining in favor of a regular four-pin PWM connector. Like the new FL-series fans, the FD12 V2 fans will be available in both black and white and in forward and reverse configurations.

DeepCool Shows Off New CPU Liquid and Air Coolers at Computex

We've already covered the latest cases and PSUs that DeepCool has on show at Computex, but the cooling hardware maker is also debuting a bunch of new CPU air coolers and AIO liquid coolers that cover everything from SFF builds to maximalist E-ATX use cases. The most premium new product at DeepCool's Computex booth is the Silentnox 360 Pro, the company's latest 360 mm AIO liquid cooler. The Silentnox 360 Pro uses DeepCool's in-house pump design, which the company says has been optimized for low-noise performance, and has a 6.67-inch, 2K flexible AMOLED display on the pump block, which ties into DeepCool's DeepCreative software and can be used to display system status, like CPU temperature, power draw, and utilization, as well as pump or fan speed. The pump cover and its display can be rotated 360 degrees, so that the waterfall edge can be placed at any 90° interval. DeepCool also has a new LT360 Vision ARGB AIO, which features a 360 mm radiator as well as a 4.5-inch LCD mounted on a 90-degree swivel on the CPU pump block. The display once again ties into DeepCool's software and is able to display system information. The new D-Cast functionality in the DeepCreative software also allows owners to use those mini AIO displays as secondary screens in order to display more complex images, videos, or animations.

There's a lot more going on in the air cooler front, however, with the brand launching an update to the famed Assassin cooler line-up alongside a number of vapor chamber air coolers. The Assassin V Vision is a new CPU tower air cooler designed for 140 mm fans, and it features eight heat pipes and a 38 mm thick hybrid hydraulic bearing fan. The Assassin V Vision also has a built-in 4.5-inch LCD on the top for system information and customization. The consumer tower coolers are rounded out by the single-tower 120 mm AK700 VC, which uses the same VC 2.0 (vapor chamber 2.0) cooling tech as the Assassin, but in a more affordable package with seven heat pipes and a single fin stack. The AN600 VC brings that same vapor chamber cooling design to a low profile cooler that DeepCool claims operates at as low as 27.2 dBA. DeepCool hasn't been very forthcoming about the TDPs of the new consumer-grade CPU coolers, but most of them are updates to older designs, so they should feature similar, if not slightly improved, performance.

DeepCool GamerStorm at Computex 2026: 3200W Titanium PSU, CL600 Roomy Tower with Wood Trim

DeepCool at the 2026 Computex showed off its latest GamerStorm-branded PC cases and power supplies. We've been big fans of the geometric design language of GamerStorm products, and the brand didn't disappoint. Their star-attraction is a yet-unnamed 3200 W PSU targeted at pro-users building AI inferencing machines at home. With 3200 W on tap, this PSU puts out four 12V-2x6 connectors, each with 600 W capability. The best part? You get this power with 80 Plus Titanium efficiency. Other models in the series include 2450 W (4× 12V-2x6), 1650 W (2× 12V-2x6), and 1300 W (2× 12V-2x6).

A notch below is this is another PX PSU series that offers 80 Plus Platinum efficiency, and comes in capacities of 850 W, 1000 W, 1200 W, and 3200 W. The top model offers four 12V-2x6 connectors, while the others offer a single 12V-2x6. The PQ Series offers Cybenetics + PPLP Platinum certification, and a lower depth body. It comes in 850, 1000, and 1200 W capacities, no 3200 W model here. The PK series are mid-range PSUs that come in 750, 850, and 1000 W, with fixed cabling, and 80 Plus Gold efficiency.
