"Dude, why do you have a phone stuck to your CPU?" could be a natural first reaction the HYTE THICC Q60 AIO CPU cooler. HYTE figured that people like to have little screens on their AIO pump-blocks, and decided to give them a big one—a rectangular 5-inch 720p IPS display that it very likely scored from a smartphone parts bin. The block underneath is a regular-size water block designed for maximum clearance around the CPU socket area. The screen hangs in the air above the block, over an armature.

Behind the display is a silicone diffuser with an array of 42 qRGB LEDs, for even more lighting, as bright as 300 nits. Perhaps why HYTE didn't go with a square screen has to with clearance around the memory area. This screen is fully programmable, plugs into your graphics card over DisplayPort, and can be made to display just about anything. To your PC, this is just another monitor. HYTE is already into oddly-shaped screens with its award-winning Y70 Touch case, and has the HYTE Nexus app that makes use of the screen to display useful real-time monitoring or Windows 11 widgets. The same HYTE Nexus app will control this display.



What you should really be looking at in this cooler is its chonky 52 mm-thick 240 mm radiator, hence the name of 60-ish. This is one of the things we go to CES and Computex for. The radiator integrates a reservoir and pump. The pump features a dual contra-rotating impeller for increased coolant flow, with pump-speed adjustable between 2,000 to 4,500 RPM. The radiator's material is aluminium.

The thickness doesn't end at 52 mm; the included pair of fans may be 120 mm, but are 32 mm thick as opposed to the industry standard 25 mm. This allows for a much larger impeller, which in this case turns at speeds of up to 3,000 RPM, pushing an outstanding 106 CFM of airflow at 8.14 mm H₂O static-pressure. When it goes on sale later in Q1-2024, the THICC Q60 will be priced at $300. We hope HYTE does a 360 mm THICC next.

Love the rad thickness, hate everything else in this. This rad with pump integrated into it and as cpu block low as possible (without the screen obvs) would be cool, but probably too niche

No LCD and RGB and it’s a deal.

You cannot currently mount it TOP of a case without interfering with the MB heatsink, Ram and their own screen... Only good on front or all the glass cases with side position.

It's UGLY as hell.
If they had at least made it 360...240 it's even uglier, even if it's obvious that everything was conceived exclusively to make it buy in combination with their Y60/70 cases.
The only thing worthy of note are the fans, assuming that the declared specifications are minimally in line with reality.

No idea what they were thinking with that screen. I wouldn't want a screen that large, let alone one that looks like I shoved a smartphone in my case.

I'm more interested in if they'll eventually sell the 32mm thick fans separately. Last I recall, they did plan to eventually include them as standard on future cases and other future cooling peripherals (at least, in their interview with GamersNexus last year), but more 30mm+ fans directly purchasable are always good.

I wonder if the radiator is an in-house design, or if they sub-contracted Alphacool. AFAIK, Alphacool has pretty much been the only maker of 60mm thick radiators for years (under their Monsta brand).
