Akasa at Computex 2025: Coolers, Fans, and PCIe Gen 5 Risers

[btarunr]

Akasa brought a selection of its latest products to Computex 2025. We begin our tour with the company's new SOHO series CPU air coolers. The first one, the AK-CC4022HP01, is a dual fin-stack (D-type) cooler, featuring two large fin-stacks for a total height nearing 160 mm, 7 copper heat pipes, and a pair of 120 mm FDB fans in push-pull configuration, for a cooling capacity of 250 W. All 7 heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU at the base. The 120 mm fans offer addressable RGB LED lighting. Next up is the AK-CC4026HP01, a thick single fin-stack cooler that uses two 120 mm fans in push-pull configuration. This cooler uses four copper heat pipes, and offers the same ARGB illuminated fans as its larger sibling.

Next up, are the company's new T6 ProGrade series thermal compounds. These include the T6 ProGrade Plus (T685), and the T6 ProGrade Max (T695). These come in 5-15 g syringes, as well as tubs going all the way up to 1 kg for systems integrators. The company didn't put out conductivity specs for these coolers. Next up, we have the company's AK-FN120 series "ultra premium" fans that offer IP68 dust and water protection, an impeller design that favors high static pressure and airflow, and a fluid dynamic bearing.



Akasa also unveiled several accessories, beginning with the AK-ENU4M2-01, an M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure with 40 Gbps USB4 interface, the AK-ENU3M2-08, a puck-shaped magnetic M.2-2230 enclosure with 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-C interface for smartphones, 2-meter DisplayPort 2.1 54 Gbps-rated cable that allows 16K @ 60 Hz with DSC; and 1.2-meter 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-C M2F extension cable. We've also run into the AK-M2HS04-BK, an M.2-2280 active fan-heatsink with a 20 mm fan, and the AK-M2HS03-BK, a large M.2-2280 fan heatsink with a 40 mm lateral blower.



Akasa showed us various PCIe accessories, including the G-Nexus series 12V-2x6 and 12VHPWR 90-degree adapters that meet ATX 3.1 specs, adapters that convert 8-pin PCIe power to 12V-2x6; and the Mark V PCI-Express 5.0 x16 riser cable.

Dang, that's a company name I haven't heard in a while. Akasa is still alive and kicking?

Very much so, they've been moseying along steadily for a looong time. They make some great passive cases and weird products. I've used some of them for very specific projects (customers and private).

Aye, I knew them for having some decent case fans here and there back in the mid to late 2000s, but I haven't really heard anything of them since

40gbps M.2 caddies are good to see.

Interesting marketing... I'm surprised to see thermal pastes and a color bar with temperature below them...starting with "high" and going to "low"....You'd think if they're talking about temperature and their own products it'd be more like "Low" and "Lower"...lol Give me the high temperature paste please!
