Wizmax by Micronics introduced a handful new CPU coolers and purpose-build heatsinks at the 2023 International CES. The CPU cooler lineup is led by the MA Frigate series. The MA4 Frigate, a thick single aluminium fin-stack tower-type cooler. Five 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes make direct contact with the CPU at the base, conveying heat through a thick aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a custom-design 130 mm fan. With this fan in place, the cooler measures 132 mm x 95 mm x 156.4 mm (WxDxH), weighing 990 g. The fan turns at speeds of up to 1,500 RPM, pushing up to 71.7 CFM of airflow at 1.9 mm H₂O static-pressure. The MA4 Frigate is rated for handling thermal loads of up to 210 W.

The Wizmax MA6 Frigate is the larger sibling, with a type-D dual fin-stack design. Six 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes make indirect contact with the CPU through a copper base, conveying heat to two fin-stacks, which are ventilated by a pair of 140 mm fans in push-pull arrangement. One-third of the fins in the two fin-stacks are made of copper, and the rest aluminium. Each of the two 140 mm fans turns at speeds of up to 1,500 RPM, pushing up to 83 CFM of airflow at 2.2 mm H₂O. With the fans in place, the cooler measures 146 mm x 165 mm x 165 mm (WxDxH), weighing 1.6 kg. The MA6 Frigate is rated for 250 W thermal loads. Both coolers support the latest CPU socket types, including AM5 and LGA1700.

With the latest crop of AIO liquid coolers getting some smarts such as displays on the pump-block that put out real-time monitoring information, DeepCool figured why not extend this to air coolers? The new Digital series air CPU coolers by DeepCool come with LCD displays that put out real-time monitoring information such as CPU temperature (as measured at the base-plate), and fan speed.

These are essentially upgrades to the company's aluminium fin tower-type CPU coolers with top-plates that have the display and some electronics, instead of what should normally be a die-cast aluminium plate with some optional lighting. Shown at CES were at least four models with a single fin-stack (type-U) design of various sizes, and one dual fin-stack (type-D) design. All of these have a glossy piano-black acrylic top-plate that's framed by an ARGB diffuser. The LCD segment display is somewhere toward the center. The electronics work independently, but you'll need a 4-pin PWM connection for the fan(s), which also power the electronics; and 3-pin ARGB for the lighting.

DeepCool brought a wealth of new PC cooling and casing solutions to the 2023 International CES, and one of the new stuff that caught our eye is their new Assassin IV CPU cooler. When installed, this looks like big dark cube inside your case, with a shroud covering all its sheet-metal. A large aluminium fin-stack heatsink is concealed inside the shroud, to which heat is fed by seven 6 mm-thick heatpipes. A combination of 140 mm and 120 mm fluid-dynamic bearing fans ventilate the heatsink. The cooler is capable of handling thermal loads of up to 280 W, and can match up to 240 mm AIO coolers, so you can even run the top Zen 4 or Rocket Lake processors. In more ways than one, the Assassin IV tries to match the aesthetic of NVIDIA's Founders Edition cards as shown in the example build below.

Cougar introduced the Forza 50 Essential and Forza 85 Essential tower-type CPU coolers. The Forza 50 is the lighter and slimmer of the two, with a fin-stack thickness of 50 mm, while the Forza 85 Essential has an 85 mm-thick fin-stack, hence the names. The Forza 50 Essential uses a heatpipe direct-touch (HDT) base, and relies on four 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes to pull heat from the CPU, and convey it through the fin-stack, while the Forza 85 Essential has six of these for the job, but through a nickel-plated copper base-plate.

Both models include a Cougar NHP120 fan. This 120 mm spinner takes in 4-pin PWM input, spins at speeds of up to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 84.48 CFM of airflow at 4.24 mm H₂O static-pressure, and up to 34.5 dBA noise output. The fans feature hydraulic bearings. With the fan in place, the Forza 50 Essential measures 135 mm x 75 mm x 155 mm (WxDxH) weighing 772 g, while the Forza 85 Essential measures 135 mm x 110 mm x 155 mm, weighing 1.13 kg. Among the CPU socket types supported by both are LGA1700, AM5, AM4, and LGA1200. The company didn't reveal pricing.

The multi-talent from Alphacool, the Eisbaer Pro Aurora CPU AIO has received an upgrade! It is now available with the extremely powerful NexXxos HPE radiator. This improvement enables even processors with particularly large CPU cores to be cooled even more effectively. The included mounting kit allows high compatibility with all common sockets, including the new AMD AM5.

The NexXxos HPE radiator uses the same materials as the previous NexXxos models, but goes a step further technically. Due to the condensed internal structure, the number of water channels and copper fins has been increased. Thus, a larger volume of water is in direct contact with the cooling fins and the heat transfer is improved enormously. Alphacool continues to use the Rise Aurora 120 mm fan. The fan, which can be controlled via PWM, is almost silent at 800 rpm, but still offers a good air throughput together with a high static pressure. The cooler as well as the fans feature digitally addressable RGB LEDs, allowing for a brilliant illumination.

Thermalright today introduced the Assassin X 90 SE, a compact tower-type CPU cooler designed to replace the stock CPU cooling solution with something that's quieter at stock frequencies. The aluminium fin tower-type cooler features a typical design for its kind—four 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU at an aluminium base; with their ends passing through an aluminium fin-stack that's capped off by a die-case top-plate. This is then ventilated by an included Thermalright TL-G9B 92 mm PWM fan.

The defining feature is the cooler's height of just 118 mm. With its fan in place, the cooler measures 94 mm x 77 mm x 118 mm, weighing 445 g.
