Asetek, the global leader in PC liquid cooling, today announced its collaboration with Mouse Computer and MSI at TOKYO GAME SHOW 2026 to launch the Mouse Original NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Liquid-Cooled Overclocked Edition, available immediately in Mouse's flagship "G TUNE" desktop gaming lineup. As Mouse Computer's trusted cooling partner, Asetek engineered a bespoke 240 mm AIO liquid cooling architecture specifically for this custom GPU. Designed to tackle high thermal density and high-heat memory, the system far surpasses traditional air-cooling limits.

Overpowering Air Cooling: Up to 300 W TGP Thermal Headroom

• 300 W TGP Designed Capacity: Effortlessly handles the RTX 5070's default 250 W load while leaving significant overclocking headroom, keeping temperatures well below throttling limits.
• Custom Full-Cover Copper Cold Plate: Directly cools both the GPU core hot spot and neighboring VRAM modules for sustained peak performance.
• Direct External Exhaust: Vents thermal energy directly outside the chassis via the 240 mm slim radiator, preventing internal heat buildup and protecting ambient components.

Noctua today introduced its first all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. With first-class cooling performance, superb quietness of operation and industry-leading reliability, the new NL-LC1 series brings classic Noctua virtues to the world of closed-loop liquid cooling. "The performance headroom of liquid cooling has always been tempting to us, but we first had to make sure that acoustics and reliability met the strict standards that customers expect from a Noctua product," said Roland Mossig, CEO of Noctua. "With the NL-LC1, we are proud to have achieved a level of thermal performance, acoustic refinement and dependability that sets a new standard."

The NL-LC1 series is based on Asetek's renowned, premium-grade Emma V2 platform, which has established itself as a gold standard for both thermal efficiency and long-term dependability. What makes the NL-LC1 coolers unique is Noctua's custom-engineered NL-PNA1 pump noise absorber: Leveraging a three-layer acoustic soundproofing structure and the tuned-mass damper effect, the NL-PNA1 reduces both air-borne noise and structure-borne vibrations, which can yield significant improvements in pump acoustics.

As AI-driven computing continues to escalate demands for higher power density and thermal efficiency, Asetek, the pioneer of global liquid cooling technology, today announced the debut of its next-generation liquid cooling platform architecture at Computex 2026. Developed specifically to address the high-performance thermal demands of the AI era, the new architecture sets a new milestone in cooling efficiency and low-acoustic performance. Featuring an optimized 4 mm comprehensive offset cold plate design, Asetek is effectively redefining the thermal standard for high-performance AI computing.

The company also highlighted a broader strategic direction following its strategic integration with Chunqiu Electronic (CQ), combining Asetek's long-established liquid cooling engineering expertise in Denmark with CQ's expanded global manufacturing scale and supply chain infrastructure in Asia. At this year's showcase, Asetek is focusing on the generational evolution of its premium consumer liquid cooling platforms, positioning these advanced thermal architecture developments as the primary technology foundation to anchor future high-density computing and AI thermal infrastructure opportunities.

TRYX brought two distinct AIO families to Computex 2026, with the headline being the HOLO, a 360 mm cooler that uses a holographic projection system on the pump-head. The HOLO uses a precision beam-splitter and a high-brightness LCD inside the pump housing to project a floating holographic image with apparent spatial depth inside a translucent chamber. The image can be rotated within the case to adjust the visual angle. Content is handled through the KANALI software, which supports preset libraries, user-uploaded content and live Giphy integration. The cooling side is powered by an Asetek Gen 8 V2 pump rated at 280 W TDP. TRYX HOLO will be available in black and white variants.

The curved Panorama lineup got a refresh with the Panorama SE V2 being the more accessible option. It is built around a trimmed-bezel curved AMOLED panel with a mechanical tilt hinge for adjustable viewing angles depending on case orientation. Cable management is simplified via a 3-in-1 unified fan frame and the pump was upgraded to an Asetek Gen 9. The flagship Panorama V2 uses a full tilt mechanism for the premium metal display frame and the pump is now an Asetek Gen 10 EMMA V3 core. The VRM fan has been repositioned for more efficient cross-flow ventilation over the motherboard power delivery stages and now connects via an internal USB-C interface for cleaner routing.More pictures follow.

Noctua previously showed off an early prototype of a thermosiphon AIO cooler at Computex 2024, in which it would use a similar design to a traditional AIO but omit the pump that is usually to blame for the low humming noise emitted from some PC builds, even at low fan speeds. The brand recently shared a short post on X with the caption "Vaporisation... enhanced," with Computex 2026 hashtag, suggesting that the thermosiphon will launch at Computex 2026.

The benefits of a thermosiphon extend beyond just noise reduction, since the lack of moving parts and a pump theoretically make them maintenance-free. Noctua has also once again teased its previously announced partnership with Asetek for a more conventional AIO design, which it will seemingly launch alongside the thermosiphon at Computex 2026.

Since the announcement of their collaboration at Computex 2025, Noctua, a leading quiet PC cooling brand, and Asetek, a pioneer in all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooling, have continued to advance their flagship AIO liquid coolers. The products have now successfully completed the Production Validation Test (PVT) phase, confirming performance and manufacturing readiness ahead of the planned Q2 2026 launch.

The Asetek Emma (G8) V2 pump operates at a nominal speed of approximately 3,600 RPM (±300 RPM). Through collaboration with Noctua, several key performance aspects have been enhanced. Firstly, a triple-layer noise-reduction pump cover reduces both air-borne noise and structure-borne vibrations. Secondly, a dedicated mode switch allows users to choose between three different pump speed profiles to fine-tune performance-to-noise characteristics.

Antec Inc., a global leader in high-performance computer components and accessories, proudly announces the launch of the Antec VORTEX VIEW 360, an advanced All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooler engineered for PC enthusiasts who demand both performance and personalization. At the heart of the Vortex View 360 is a striking integrated LCD, transforming the pump head into a customizable visual centerpiece. From real-time system stats to custom graphics and animations, users can make their build truly their own—without compromising thermal performance.

Built for modern high-core CPUs and intense workloads, the Vortex View 360 pairs its immersive display with a high-efficiency 360 mm radiator and optimized airflow fans engineered for sustained cooling under pressure. Whether powering competitive gaming sessions, creative workflows, or showcase builds, the Vortex View 360 is designed to stay cool, quiet, and visually unforgettable.

Asetek reported third-quarter revenue of $9.8 million compared with $12.2 million in the same period of 2024. Revenue for the first nine months was $30.9 million compared with $37.1 million in the same period of 2024. The change in both periods mainly reflects fewer shipments of liquid cooling products. Gross margin was 42% for the third quarter and 44% for the first nine months, compared with 36% and 42% in the respective periods of 2024. The gross margin increase is principally due to the supply chain issue recognized in September 2024.

"While macro uncertainties continue to influence near-term demand, Asetek has made significant progress in firming up growth expectations for 2026 and onwards as new and existing clients sign agreements for our high-end and mid-market liquid cooling solutions. This reflects our dedicated commercial work and an industry-wide recognition of our high-quality offering. We also successfully launched our mass-market sim racing product portfolio to wide industry and end-user acclaim. The Initium product series significantly expands our addressable market and positions us for growth when markets stabilize," says André S. Eriksen, the CEO of Asetek.

Asetek is pleased to announce a long-term agreement with an undisclosed customer for the delivery of high-end liquid cooling solutions based on the Ingrid technology platform, which sets new standards for acoustic and thermal performance. Because of the agreement, the Company has raised the medium-term ambition for the Liquid Cooling segment. The agreement includes a minimum volume commitment estimated at $35 million during the first 2-year term, from start of shipments, but revenues may be higher depending on actual order volumes.

Asetek will provide liquid coolers, caps, heat exchangers and fans in one retail package, implying higher unit revenue in exchange for a slightly reduced gross margin due to the bundled accessories/commodities carrying lower margins. The agreement covers two products and deliveries of the first product are scheduled to start in Q2 2026 with deliveries for the second product scheduled to begin Q4 2026. The Company expects the customer to reclaim a top tier position when shipments are fully up and running in 2027.

Noctua's upcoming closed-loop all-in-one liquid cooler has finally received a firm release date: the second quarter of 2026. According to the Austrian company roadmap update, which received a September update, we can look forward to more updates soon. Firstly, we can anticipate the arrival of NF-A14x25 G2 chromax.black fans in the Q4 of this year, alongside NH-D15 G2 tower air cooler. Both of these products were originally scheduled for Q3, but Noctua made some final tweaks, and their availability is now expected in Q4. For Q1 in 2026, the company plans to bring the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition chassis and the Pulsar Feinman Noctua Edition mouse.

However, the real star of the show is scheduled for Q2 of 2026, when Noctua plans to bring it to the masses. This cooler is based on an Asetek G8 V2 platform that's been heavily optimized by Noctua. Some of the innovations include a pump-noise absorber, SecuFirm 2+ retention module, an 80 mm fan attachment on the pump-block to cool the VRM and memory areas using the Coanda effect, and the inclusion of premium Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 (140 mm) or NF-A12x25 G2 (120 mm) fans, depending on the model. This was also planned for Q1 but has been pushed forward to Q2 as of now. As is the case with Noctua, product delays are a sign that the company is rigorously optimizing the product, so a slight delay will result in better quality, which enthusiasts are accustomed to.

Asetek is excited to announce the launch of the Initium product line. Designed for the aspiring sim racer, Initium delivers an affordable experience without compromising on quality or realism. Asetek has previously established itself as a leading brand in the sim racing community, known for delivering high-quality products to market. Its latest launch applies that same engineering expertise to a new product line designed to make high-quality sim racing accessible to a wider audience.

This latest innovation from the Danish brand brings a level of quality at an unbeatable price point. Whether you prefer to dominate the tracks from the comfort of your sofa or in a dedicated cockpit, the Initium Racing Bundle I is the ideal launchpad for sim racers who are ready to kickstart their journey - this is where real racing starts.

Asetek reported second-quarter revenue of $11.2 million compared with $12.7 million in the same period of 2024. First-half 2025 revenue was $21.0 million compared with $24.9 million in the first half of 2024. The change in both periods mainly reflects fewer shipments of liquid cooling products. Gross margin was level at 45% for both the second quarter and first half of 2025 and the respective periods of 2024.

"Amidst continued macro uncertainties, Asetek experiences strong momentum with new and existing Liquid Cooling customers led by innovative products for a wider market, focused commercial work and a growing recognition of our quality, established supply chain and full service offering in volatile markets. This week, we are launching our Initium mass-market sim racing product portfolio at Gamescom in Germany, significantly widening our addressable market. Within both our segments, we are positioned to deliver long-term profitable growth when markets stabilize," says André S. Eriksen, the CEO of Asetek.

Asetek is pleased to announce a new customer agreement with Antec, a global leader in high-performance computer components and accessories for the gaming, PC upgrade, and Do-It-Yourself markets. Antec has previously been a customer of Asetek and both parties have now decided to resume the collaboration. This agreement marks the first delivery of mainstream liquid cooling products based on Asetek's new platform. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in Q4 2025.

The agreement includes Antec's new Vortex View AIO liquid cooler, which was showcased for the first time at Computex 2025. This innovative product reflects the collaborative development efforts between the two companies and is designed to bring fresh innovation to the mainstream liquid cooling market. To highlight the strong working relationship between Asetek and Antec, the Asetek SimSports sim racing setup was also featured at Antec's booth during Computex. This shared presence reflects a joint commitment to performance, innovation, and immersive experiences for users.

Asetek, the pioneer of the all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler and global leader in mechatronic innovation, today announced the launch of Ingrid - a new platform-based liquid cooling solution engineered to deliver superior thermal performance, reduced acoustic footprint, and platform-level flexibility for both partners and PC builders. The Ingrid product line debuts with Value and Mainstream offerings and will later expand the product family - powering a complete cooling portfolio built for tomorrow's CPU architectures and the demands of AI workloads. Set to debut at Computex 2025, Ingrid represents a new generation of Asetek AIO design, built on decades of thermal leadership and precision engineering.

"With Ingrid, we're introducing a platform-based approach that meets the needs of B2B customers, OEM partners, and PC enthusiasts alike," said André Sloth Eriksen, CEO and Founder of Asetek. "It's our most refined acoustic and installation experience to date - and a foundation we'll continue to expand."

Noctua at the 2025 Computex brought several innovative new products to show us. We begin our tour with the various co-branded products. Noctua and ASUS have been co-branding graphics cards for a few years now, and their partnership continues with the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition, which comes with a cooling solution that's been designed and tuned for low noise by Noctua. They've done a fantastic job with their RTX 40-series Noctua Edition cards, and we're confident their excellence will hold with the RTX 50-series, too.

Next up, is the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition case. A variant of the Flux Pro case Antec launched in August 2024, this case comes not just with Noctua's color theme, but also pre-installed premium Noctua fans, which include the NF-A14x25 G2 140 mm spinners in the front, and NF-A12x25 G2 120 mm at the rear. Noctua has tested the case with these fans for substantially lower noise levels than the stock fans the original Flux Pro comes with. All fans are installed with anti-vibration mounts, and the case comes with a pre-installed Noctua NA-FH1 fan hub, with factory wiring for the pre-installed fans. The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is expected to launch in Q4-2025.

As some of you may know, Danish company Asetek has had something of a monopoly in the all-in-one liquid cooling market and this was large due to a single patent that expired today. The patent in question PCT/DK2005/000310 or US8240362 has been used by the company to force many of its competitors either out of business, or cost them a small fortune as they tried to circumvent it. This is why so many companies have licensed AIO liquid cooler designs from Asetek and why there hasn't been a ton of innovation in the market until the past couple of years, when we've finally seen some innovative solutions that work around the patent.

By now, this is a 20 year old patent that was filed by Asetek founder André Sloth Eriksen on this day in 2005. What this means for Asetek at this point in time is unclear, but with the company no longer being able to sue its competitors for producing AIO coolers with the pump integrated into the waterblock, it seems like they no longer have an edge over their competitors. That said, it's unlikely we'll see a dozen new competitors cropping up, as the liquid cooling market is already quite competitive and hardly the most profitable business to be in. With that said, Asetek did mention in their last quarterly report which was released in April, that they've been approached by a company that is interested in taking over their liquid cooling business, so we might see Asetek divesting from liquid cooling in the future.

ASUS today announced its participation in the NAB Show 2025. Visitors to the ASUS booth will have the opportunity to experience the future of content creation with live demonstrations of the latest ASUS ProArt offerings.

Asetek reported third-quarter revenue of $12.2 million compared with $20.5 million in the same period of 2023. Revenue for the first nine months was $37.1 million compared with $59.7 million in the same period of 2023. The change in both periods reflects fewer shipments of liquid cooling products, partly offset by an increase in shipments of SimSports products. Gross margin was 36% for the third quarter and 42% for the first nine months, compared with 46% and 45% in the respective periods of 2023. The change in gross margin reflects the write-off of certain inventory that was adversely affected by a supply chain quality issue that has since been rectified.

"Our SimSports business experiences strong traction with new acclaimed products, new strategically important distribution agreements and a clear pathway to millions of new simulation gamers in the console market. We are also taking action to stabilize the Liquid Cooling business and position for future growth with a lower cost base and a wider offering addressing the changing market preferences," says André S.

"We are positioning for significant growth within SimSports and a changing Liquid Cooling market with more direct end-user dialogue over time and potential to capture material revenue synergies across our two business segments under a strong Asetek brand."

Liquid cooling solutions OEM Asetek saw its stock price drop by over 40% on Wednesday (12th June 2024), as investors responded to the company's announcement of suspending its profitability and revenue guidance for 2024. The release offered an explanation behind this decision. "Based on these new forecasts, the expected increase in demand in the second half of 2024 of the company's liquid cooling products may not materialize. This will result in a significant decline in Group revenue and profitability for 2024 compared to the revenue and profitability guidance issued on March 8, 2024."

The company also stated that it expects the negative trend in the company's revenue may continue into 2025. "The management team and board of directors of Asetek will consider the long- and short-term consequences of the weakened and uncertain market situation. The assessment today is that the negative trend in revenue may continue into 2025. Based on this, a plan containing initiatives to navigate the short and long-term challenges will be developed and then communicated as soon as possible," it said. Asetek is a pioneer in the all-in-one, closed-loop liquid CPU cooler that's popular in the gaming PC segment, but the company should also be in a position to lead the server CPU cooling market given the upward trend in processor cooling needs; but the company is underperforming. This is probably also due to intense competition in the space.
