HyperX at COMPUTEX 2019 announced they've developed new, in-house mechanical switches they'll start employing on their products. HyperX says these are rated for up to 80 million clicks, and that they're brighter than the competition's offerings due to their DIP design. The switches feature a 1.8 mm actuation point, and a short 3.8 mm travel.

While visiting the Tecware exhibit, we took the time to check out the numerous cases they had on hand. We started with the VXR dual chamber chassis which was eye-grabbing, to say the least. Featuring a dual chamber layout, it had a sandblasted aluminum exterior with front and side tempered glass panels for getting the best possible view of your hardware. While some cases with such a layout can be starved for air, Tecware took that into account with increased airflow and cooling configurations being available. That, of course, brings up the potential for dust; however, they made sure to include dust filters to help mitigate the issue. On top of all that, the VXR also has removable HDD/SSD trays for easier installation along with extra space for improved cable management.

Taking a closer look at the cooling options the VXR has clearance for CPU coolers of up to 140mm in height which is a bit limiting, but when you consider its radiator support more than makes up for it. The chassis has enough space for up to a 240mm radiator in the top, 240mm radiator in the bottom, and a 360mm radiator on the side. Actual space for fans is a bit different with the case allowing for 3x 120mm in the front, 3x 120mm on the side and 3x 120mm in the bottom. Overall the case is a solid option for custom water cooling or for those planning to use an all-in-one liquid cooled GPU and CPU. As for graphics cards, total clearance was listed as 385mm. Finally, storage and expansion space consist of 2x 3.5" HDD, 4x 2.5" SSD (2 modular SSD trays) and 8x expansion slots. The VXR has an MSRP of $89.99.

ZADAK may have dropped the "511" from its name, but remains a sought-after boutique hardware brand for case-modders. At its Computex 2019 booth, the company showed off its latest memory modules, cooling products, and a few case-mods that put the two together. The centerpiece at the booth was the Spark line of premium DDR4 memory modules. Silver accents of brushed aluminium top a darker shade, crowned by a silicone addressable-RGB LED diffuser. Each module has five lighting zones - top, top sides, and corners, which the maker calls "Dynamic multi-zone RGB." Each module cycles between 8 lighting presets, although with a 3-pin ARGB connection, you can play with the lighting via software.

ZADAK Spark memory comes in single-module, dual-channel, and quad-channel kits of 8 GB and 16 GB modules, which are further differentiated in four speeds, DDR4-3000, DDR4-3200, DDR4-3600, and DDR4-4133. Up to 3200 MHz, these modules offer timings of 16-18-18-38@1.35V, which loosen to 17-19-19-39@1.35V for DDR4-3600, and 19-21-21-42@1.4V for DDR4-4133. ZADAK claims it tested each memory kit for advertised settings on both Intel Core and AMD Ryzen platforms. Prices start at USD $159.99 for a 2x 8 GB DDR4-3200 memory kit. Next up, is the ZADAK Spark AIO closed-loop liquid CPU cooler.

During our visit with Raijintek at Computex 2019, it was apparent the company had gone all in when it comes to ARGB lighting. The first liquid cooler on display was the EOS I 240 RBW. Offering ARGB rainbow lighting, this AIO utilized a 240mm high-density radiator with 12 channels along with a full copper water block with 0.15mm micro channels. Pushing the coolant through the system is a pump that has a max rated pressure head of 1.5M and a max flow rate of 80 L/H. Multiple mounting kits are available for modern sockets.

Meanwhile, the EOS II 240 RBW was also on display. It has all the same features as the EOS I but sports a different block design. Where the CPU and pump block on the EOS I looks a bit like a cyclone in regards to its design and lighting elements. The EOS II has a boxy design with grooves and ARGB LED lighting for that extra bit visual stimulus.

At COMPUTEX 2019, BITFENIX took the opportunity to showcase their latest case design built for the conscious enthusiast. Their Dawn TG is the company's take on the RGB market, with a stylized, ARGB front fascia that's eerily reminiscent of Oblivion's Tet (the movie, not the game). This case is available in both black and white, and features smoked tempered glass side mirrors for that premium feel.

The Nova Mesh TG Black brings slightly more gaudiness to its RGB design, which is clearly visible behind the tempered glass side mirrors. The panel's front fascia, as the name implies, is covered in mesh so as to maximize airflow for interior components.

Even more Antec was available for would-be lookers into their stand, with the company showing off a number of PC chassis and Antec's suggested cooling solution to be paired with said cases. The Antec PRIZM Cooling Matrix is one such cooling system, which pairs a dual-fan setup with 2x 120 mm fans framed by ARGB lighting. Antec say these are compatible with almost all manufacturers' RGB control systems, and feature hydraulic fan bearings for what Antec feels is the best performance. The PRIZM Cooling Matrix Dual Fan Setup is rated for a 45000 hours operating time.

Antec at Computex 2019 showcased a myriad of products, of which we bring you three families in this post: their Neptune ARGB CPU liquid coolers, the Signature Series of PSUs, and their Katana DDR4 memory modules.

The Neptune ARGB liquid coolers are available in either 120 mm or 240 mm AIO configurations, each packing a single or a dual fan setup (I leave it to you to guess which is which)s. These feature PWM controlled fans, have a flow rate of 1.5 L of cooling liquid per minute, feature RGb lighting (in case you hadn't noticed the ARGB in the name), and are rated for up to 40,000 H MTBF at a 25º room temperature.
