Valkyrie brought an exhaustive lineup of CPU coolers to the 2024 Computex. This is also the only manufacturer we've come across that put a color display on top of a tower-type CPU cooler, a feature that've we've seen catch on with nearly every AIO liquid CPU cooler manufacturer. There are air coolers with displays on top, but those are LED segment displays putting out basic information such as temperature readings from ACPI. The company displayed an aluminium fin-stack cooler with a large top-plate that has a color display embedded in it, under its Loki brand. The top-plate is wider than the heatsink, but matches the width of the cooler when you install a 120 mm fan. So for those squeamish about liquid cooling, here's a neat alternative.

The Valkyrie Loki series also includes air coolers without this display, replaced by anime art and ARGB LED diffusers. We've seen single fin-stack coolers with dual-fan ventilation (push-pull), and dual fin-stack coolers under the Loki, Merlin, and Mist brands. Switching gears to the liquid cooling lineup, and we see the all-black Valkyrie Dracula, characterized by high static-pressure fluid dynamic bearing fans, and a concealing side mounts for the fans that give the three individual fans the appearance of a compound fan. The model shown at Computex featured a 360 mm x 120 mm radiator.

One of the standout products at Computex this year is the TRYX Panorama SE, an AIO liquid CPU cooler with an innovative 6.5-inch AMOLED curved display on the pump-block that wraps around the front- and side, with an eye-pleasing 1080p resolution. You're supposed to orient it in such a way that its side faces the front of your case, and hope that this portion of the display isn't obstructed by tall memory modules. Perhaps the latest crop of motherboards with DDR5 CAMM2 slots has the answer to this problem.

The curved display and its panoramic edge lets you create anamorphic illusion effects such as the ones you see in buildings with large curved displays. The cooler uses an HDMI connection to your graphics card, and can be made to display just about anything. The Panorama SE comes in 360 mm and 240 mm radiator sizes, and in white- and black trims. The display is embedded in its own L-shaped breakout module that floats over the pump-block. The actual pump-block is somewhat cylindrical, a small 60 mm fan ventilates the pump motor and the heat dissipation chamber.

In addition to the new PC cases and PSUs, ENERMAX also unveiled a couple of new and interesting AIO CPU coolers and fans at the Computex 2024 show, including the LIQTECH XTR AiO which can handle quite a high thermal load, the new AQUACore concept, which is actually a compact CPU cooler that integrates the pump and the radiator into a compact solution, and new Montage Flow fans with magnetic daisy-chaining.

The one that piqued our interest is definitely the LIQTECH XTR AIO liquid CPU cooler series, which can handle some impressive thermal loads. To be available in 240 mm, 280 mm, and 360 mm radiator sizes, the LIQTECH XTR can easily AMD Threadripper and Intel Xeon processors, offering 100 percent coverage and uses a powerful EF1 pump in combination with patented shunt-channel technology. According to Enermax and what we saw at the show, the smaller 240 mm can handle well over 500 W of thermal load, while the 360 mm one goes well over 900 W. The LIQTECH XTR also includes a digital built-in display on the pump/block unit, which shows CPU and GPU temperature, or fan RPM data.

Noctua unveiled its new Ampere Altra family of CPU coolers for Ampere Altra and Altra Max Arm processors at the Computex 2024 show, as well as the upcoming NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper superchip cooler. In addition, it also showcased its new cooperation with Seasonic with PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition power supply and a rather unique Kaelo wine cooler.

In addition to the new and upcoming standard CPU coolers and fans, Noctua also unveiled the new Ampere Altra family of CPU coolers at the Computex 2024 show, aimed to be used with recently launched Ampere Altra and Altra Max Arm processors with up to 128 cores. The new Noctua Ampere Altra CPU coolers are based on the proven models for Intel Xeon and AMD Threadripper or EPYC platforms. The Noctua Ampere Altra family of CPU coolers use Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA4926 socket and come with pre-applied NT-H2 thermal paste. According to Noctua, these provide exceptional performance and whisper-quiet operation which are ideal for Arm based workstations in noise-sensitive environments. The Ampere Altra lineup should be already available over at Newegg. In addition, Nocuta has unveiled its new prototype of NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper superchip cooler, which integrates two custom NH-U12A heatsinks in order to cool both the Grace CPU and Hopper GPU. It supports up to 1,000 W of heat emissions, and aimed at noise-sensitive environments like local HPC applications and self-hosted open source LLMs. The NVIDIA GH200 cooler is expected in Q4 this year and offered to clients on pre-order basis.

be quiet! brought plenty of new products to the Computex 2024 show, including the all new Dark Rock 5 CPU cooler, a compact CPU cooler with an overall height of just 161 mm, which promises both extremely high cooling performance and excellent compatibility. Thanks to its asymmetrical design and cut-outs on the heat sink, the Dark Rock 5 will offer high RAM and VRM heat sink compatibility, and since it does not extend over RAM slots, it should not cover those fancy RGB lights on your memory modules.

The be quiet! Dark Rock 5 comes with an aluminium heat sink with special black coating with ceramic particles, a total of six 6 mm copper heat pipes connected to a nickle-plated copper base, the new Dark Rock 5 should offer pretty good cooling performance. The heat sink is cooled by a single Silent Wings 4 120 mm PWM fan with rubberized fan frame, which means it does not need additional rubber elements, and it also supports an optional second fan for even higher air pressure. The Dark Rock 5 also features a magnetic mesh top cover which hides the heat pipe ends and comes bundled with a screwdriver. According to be quiet!, the Dark Rock 5 should launch later this month with expected price of around $70/€70.

MSI is expanding its CORELIQUID series of AIO CPU coolers with new MPG P series and MAG A series versions, which will feature MSI's new EZ DIY Desings and some other features that will try to differentiate it from the competition. The star of the show is the new CORELIQUID P Series with an upgraded 4.3-inch IPS adjustable panel, which allows users to adjust the angle of the screen to best suit their needs. The CORELIQUID MPG P series also features the UNI Bracket, which comes pre-installed and allows it to support both Intel and AMD sockets, as well as the new "one cable for all" feature, which simplifies the connection by uniting cables into one. The rest of the features include UNI Triple Frame, which simplifies the installation as well as reduce the fan vibrations, and comes with a EPDM tubes, which not only offer high and low-temperature resistant and excellent flexibility, but also significantly reduce the evaporation of the coolant.

In addition to the CORELIQUID MPG P Series, which we caught at the Computex floor, MSI has also announced the MAG CORELIQUID I Series AIO cooler, which also features the UNI Bracket and other EZ DIY Designs features, but comes without the screen, as well as a more budget oriented MAG CORELIQUID A Series AIO cooler that features a triangular water block design and comes with the same UNI Bracket feature and pre-installed fans. Unfortunately, MSI wasn't keen to reveal any details about the price or the availability date, but hopefully, we'll see these on both retail/e-tail shelves and on our test bench soon.

Thermalright introduced the Burst Assassin 120 EVO DARK, a performance-segment air CPU cooler. The cooler relies on a conventional D-type aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by a pair of fans in push-pull configuration.

Both coolers include an identical type of 120 mm fan, which takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 500 and 1800 RPM, pushing up to 65 CFM of airflow, at 2.56 mm H₂O static pressure, and 26.8 dBA of maximum noise. The fan is rated for 40,000 hours. Among the CPU socket types supported by both coolers include LGA1700, the upcoming LGA1851, AM5, AM4, and LGA1200/115x.

SilverStone today introduced the XE360-TR5, an all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000-series processors in the Socket TR5 and SP6 packages. The cooler's design consists of a 1U-friendly waterblock, and a 360 mm radiator that integrates the pump and coolant reservoir, which is connected to the block over Nylon-sleeved tubing. The block features a nickel-plated copper main material, with metal alloy top. The cold-plate makes contact with the entire IHS of an sTR5/SP6 processor, providing cooling to all twelve CCDs and the large central sIOD. The pump integrated with the radiator is made as thin as possible using a 6-pole motor.

The 360 mm x 120 mm radiator is 28 mm-thick, and is made of aluminium, and connects to the water block over a 42 cm-long tubing. Each of the three included 120 mm fans turns at speeds ranging between 600 RPM to 2,800 RPM, pushing up to 87.72 CFM of airflow, at a radiator-friendly 3.09 mm H₂O static pressure, and 46 dBA maximum noise output. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Thermaltake today announced the ASTRIA 600 ARGB, a dual fin-stack type CPU cooler. The company had shown off the ASTRIA line of coolers earlier this year at the 2024 CES. The ASTRIA 600 leads the pack, being the heaviest model, with the most heat dissipation area from its dual-stack design. Its design involves a nickel-plated copper base, from which six 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes make their way through two aluminium fin-stacks with equal fin-pitch to each other.
