Streacom unveiled a rather interesting power supply unit at its Computex 2023 showcase, the 800 W ZS800. While it might look a bit strange, Streacom's reasons behind such a product makes sense, considering it started as a project to create a "better" power supply for SFF builds, leading to what you can see in these pictures below.

According to Streacom, the biggest improvement to be done were on the cables, namely the 24-pin ATX cable which is bulky and quite difficult to handle, especially in tight SFF cases. The breakthrough came with the announcement of Intel's ATX12VO specification (12 V-only) and since Streacom has experience with compact DC to DC ATX converters, this led to reduced number of pins for the 24-pin cable, at least on the PSU side, as it still needs a 24-pin adapter for the motherboard. Such a hybrid solution also means that the ZS800 is actually both ATX 3.0 and ATX12VO compatible.

Cooler Master is exhibiting new MM712 gaming mouse variants at Computex 2023 - the two updated offerings come in the form of a high-end "PRO" version and a (potentially) cheaper wired model. The original MM712 was released last autumn (after several delays) to a mostly warm reception, although user feedback did provide Cooler Master with plenty of insights for the development of possible successors. The peripheral design team has addressed a key negative point - the MM712 PRO and Wired models no longer sport primary button overhang - certain users complained about their fingers getting pinched by the original's sharp side pieces. The new model's sensor position has been adjusted to a more central placement according to documentation on hand.

The MM712 PRO looks to offer a significant bump in specifications (over the base model) thanks to it being fitted with Pixart's top PAW 3395 optical sensor. Cooler Master will be catching up with leading brands who already offer high polling rate gaming mice. The MM712 PRO in wired connection mode can operate at 8 kHz, while wireless operation is rated at 4 kHz via an included ultra-fast USB dongle. The spec upgrade has not meant that the model's weight has increased, Cooler Master reps at Computex claim that the PRO remains in the lightweight category - coming in at roughly 56 grams.

Realtek has decided to take consumer Ethernet speeds to a new level later this year with a family of 5 Gbps parts that are unlike anything its competitors have announced so far. The RTL8126-CG PCIe 3.0 x1 controller is a tiny QFN56 chip that measures 8 by 8 millimetres and consumes up to 1.7 Watt in use. This is unheard of when it comes to 5 Gbps solutions today, most of which are based on cut-down 10 Gbps chips. Realtek has verified the RTL8126-CG with stacked connectors for motherboards, as this was a requirement from the motherboard vendors. This solution should be available on most of the boards that were announced at Computex with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet support.

The company also has the RTL8251B-CG single port PHY which comes in the same packaging and same size as the PCIe controller. It's intended for use in 5 Gbps switches and should help bring down the cost, power consumption and thermals. Finally Realtek was showing off the RTL8157-CG, which is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) based 5 Gbps Ethernet bridge, which comes in a slightly different QFN68 package, but still apparently measures 8 by 8 millimetres. This one is expected to launch sometime in Q4 of this year. All three solutions are capable of delivering 5 Gbps Ethernet over Cat 5e cables of up to a 100 meter in length. We weren't given an exact price point of these solutions, but it sounded like the RTL8126-CG should end up at US$5 or less, which should be compared to at least US$20-30 for most similar solutions in the market today. It looks like the market for faster Ethernet is really getting interesting and Realtek is apparently planning a 10 Gbps solution for next year.

Varmilo has a big booth at Computex 2023 and showed off two new mech keyboards - the Minilo 75% and Shine Kara - the former is actually available to order direct from their web store right now, which is a pleasant surprise. The latter appears to be an early preview unit, and Varmilo has not confirmed a specific release date for it.

Customers can configure the Minilo 75% with three different high-grade gray tones - from the company's Morandi-style color scheme (inspired by Italian painter Giorgio Morandi) - Eucalyptus, Mendozae and Bluebell. The design is also divided into a three-layer color separation scheme (upper, middle and lower) that is pleasing to the eye. Varmilo states that this model provides a "satisfying sound, pleasant tactile feel and great rebound" user experience - thanks to a gasket mount system and padding within the casing.

Chinese InnoGrit has proved to be something of a competent contender in the high-end SSD controller market and at Computex 2023 the company was displaying an early sample of its upcoming IG5666 consumer focused PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD controller. At the moment the company has taped out the controller, but aren't happy with the physical size of the chip and will be doing another tape out for a more optimised chip. Innogrit is using a 16 nm node for the controller, which might be part of the reason why they're having a hard time to get it the right size, but there's also cost reasons that have to be taken into consideration.

Based on the early samples, InnoGrit is expecting it to reach sequential speeds of up to 14 GB/s read and 11 GB/s write. Random performance is said to reach 3 million read and 2.5 million write IOPs. The controller should support up to 16 TB of NAND flash and it supports all common types of NAND up to a speed of 2400 MT/s. The IG5666 is based on the same Tacoma architecture as InnoGrit's IG5669, which is targeting enterprise use, yet delivers similar performance.

Kingston was thrilled to be back at Computex to showcase some of its new and upcoming products, including the new XS1000 External SSD and some of its new and current Fury DDR5 memory modules and kits. In addition to these new products, Kingston also showcased its dedication to enterprise and server market with DC600M enterprise SSD, industrial SD cards, and Server Premier DDR5 memory, as well as its focus on both creators, gamers, and those on the move, with the Fury DDR5 memory, Fury Renegade SSDs, the new DT microDuo and DTMax flash drives, SD and microSD cards, and more.

To be available in Q3 2023, the Kingston XS1000 External SSD aims to bring pocket-sized portability without compromising the performance. It will be available in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities, have USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface, and peak at 1000 MB/s read and write sequential performance. Kingston is also announcing an updated Fury Renegade DDR5 RGB memory lineup, which will be available in 16 GB to 48 GB capacities, bringing non-binary kits, and ranging from 6000 to 7200 MT/s. In addition, there is also the FURY Renegade PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD, coming in capacities of up to 4 TB and reaching sequential read and write performance of up to 7,300 and 7,000 MB/s, respectively.

GELID at the 2023 Computex showcased its most recent product announcements. The lineup begins with the Stella Infinity, Stella Frost, and Zodiac case fans in the 120 mm form-factor. The Stella Infinity gets its name from an infinity mirror on its impeller hub. The fan features as many as 24 ARGB LEDs, lined not just along the bore of the frame, but also the hub of the impeller. It turns at speeds ranging between 500 to 1,600 RPM, pushing up to 70 CFM of airflow, at up to 35 dBA noise output. It uses hydro-dynamic bearings. The Stella Frost is essentially the same fan, but with a white frame, translucent impeller, and the outer ARGB diffuser being made of acrylic that mimics the appearance of ice. The Zodiac is a more cost-effective case fan that covers the essentials, including the hydro-dynamic bearing, one set of ARGB LEDs (at the impeller hub), high static pressure, 700 to 1600 RPM, pushing up to 65.5 CFM of airflow, 1.47 mm H₂O static pressure, and 35 dBA maximum noise.

We now move on to the Silent 12 PWM Black and Silent 14 PWM Black. These fans feature vibration-absorbing fan mounts, an impeller profile optimized for low noise, with fairly high performance. The Silent 14 PWM Black (140 mm) does 750 to 1,500 RPM, pushing up to 78.5 CFM of airflow, at a maximum noise output of just 20 dBA. The Silent 12 PWM Black (120 mm) does 750 to 1,600 RPM, pushing up to 64.5 CFM of airflow, at a maximum noise output of 25.5 dBA. There's a cheaper variant of these fans, the Silent 12 Black and Silent 14 Black, which use 3-pin DC power inputs. GELID showed off an assortment of products, including the GC-4 thermal compound, and its more powerful GC-Extreme TIM that offers 8.5 W/mK conductivity; the LGA1700 CPU Protection Brace, IceCap and IceCap Pro M.2 NVMe SSD coolers, Nexus Premium headset stand, and IceRock DDR memory heatspreaders. The star attraction was GELID's first foray into liquid cooling, with the Liquid 360, Liquid 240, and Liquid 120 all-in-one closed, loop CPU coolers. These feature Zodiac fans, a pump-block with an infinity mirror, and a 7-segment display that reads out coolant temperature.

At the 2023 Computex, Phanteks unveiled a handful of new cooling solutions. The D30-140 is a star attraction. This 140 mm fan features a cable-free daisy-chaining system that uses a click-and-lock mechanism and contact points, to connect up to three of these fans, sharing a PWM fan connection, and addressable RGB signal. This makes the fans very convenient to deploy on radiators, or rows of fan-mounts in cases, such as the front intakes. The fans are based on the same impeller design and motor architecture as the T30-series that the company debuted in March 2023. It features the same "Halos" lighting effect. Phanteks plans to launch the D30-140 in August 2023, priced at $30 a piece, or $85 for a set of 3.

The Glacier One D30 is a lineup of all-in-one (AIO) liquid CPU coolers that come in 240 mm, 360 mm, and 420 mm variants based on radiator sizes. These are practically identical in design and specs to the Glacier One T30 series from March, but replace the T30-series fans that have individual cables, with the newer D30-series ones that have cable-free daisy-chaining that looks a lot cleaner when installed. What's new is the 420 mm (420 mm x 140 mm radiator size) variant that's exclusive to the Glacier One D30-series. When it goes on sale this August, the Glacier One 240-D30 will be priced at $150, and the 360-D30 at $180. The company hasn't finalized pricing of the 420-D30, yet.

MSI in its Computex 2023 booth demonstrated its inverted cabling motherboard concept dubbed "Project Zero." The idea behind this is that all the connectors and headers of the motherboard are located on the reverse side of the PCB, and compatible cases have cutouts at just the right places, so all the cabling—including power—is routed to the motherboard in the crawl-space behind the motherboard tray. No cable is visible on the obverse side of the case (with notable exceptions being the CPU cooler cables, and the power cables of your graphics card). The prototype motherboard MSI showed off has Socket AM5, and is based on the AMD B650 chipset. The demo build reveals that it's preferable to have individually stranded EPS and 24-pin ATX cables, versus sleeved/braided ones that are tougher to bend and route.

MSI at the 2023 Computex introduced a few new graphics card cooling innovations. These include the DynaVC and Fusion Chill AIO. DynaVC is an air-based cooling solution that uses a 3-dimensional vapor chamber base-plate. Conventional vapor chamber plates tend to be flat surfaces, requiring the rest of the cooler to make planar contact with it. MSI's uses a 3-D form for better contact with the GPU, as well as conventional heatpipes, and eliminates the need for soldering between the heatpipes and the vapor chamber. From here, the heatpipes spread heat across the length of the aluminium fin-stack heatsink.

Fusion Chill is an all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooling solution that's fully integrated onto the card—there are no coolant tubes hanging out of the card that lug a discrete radiator. MSI innovated the pump-block to be as thin as possible, along with a copper base-plate that makes contact with all key hot components. From here, a short-length coolant tubing takes it to a custom-shape radiator that integrated the coolant reservoir that has 15% more coolant volume than that of a 240 mm AIO. A pair of high static-pressure variants of its TorX series fans ventilate the radiator. The entire cooling solution is fully integrated with the card like any air-cooler would. MSI is planning to debut this cooler with an upcoming SUPRIM series graphics card.

In addition to a rather impressive SFX power supply lineup, Thermaltake also has a lot of ATX 3.0 power supplies at its Computex 2023 showcase, including the Toughpower TF3 Titanium 1550 W model, Snow versions of the Toughpower GF A3 Gold series and the Toughpower GF3 Gold series, and the Smart BM3 Bronze series.

The Toughpower TF3 1550 W is designed with overclockers and PC enthusiasts in mind. Of course, it is compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and comes with two native PCIe Gen 5 12+4-pin connectors. As a premium high-end product, it features strict voltage regulation, low ripple noise, and all the usual protections. So far, this is the only 80 Plus Titanium certified ATX 3.0 PSU from Thermaltake, although we heard that Thermaltake is also going to bring its iRGB Plus Titanium series with ATX 3.0 certification, which will be available in 1250 W and 1650 W versions. Thermaltake also showcased Snow versions of the Toughpower GF A3 Gold series, which is available in 850 W and 1050 W versions, and the Snow version of the Toughpower GF3 Gold, available in 1200 W version. Both are compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications with native PCIe Gen 5 12+4-pin connector, have Smart Zero Fan feature, and come with low-profile flat white cables. The Smart BM3 Bronze PSU series is a semi-modular design and comes in 550 W, 650 W, and 750 W versions. It also gets ATX 3.0 support and PCIe Gen 5 12+4-pin connector, ultra quiet 120 mm rifle bearing fan, and features a high amperage single +12V rail design.

During Computex 2023, EK Water Blocks, a company known for making all kinds of liquid cooling solutions, showed off a concept case in partnership with InWin. Called 977EK, the concept case is a pre-production model that centers around the idea of a brushed aluminium shell combined with tempered glass panels. The case is made out of the internal structure, and for the outside, the two brushed aluminium sheets meet in the back and at the bottom of the case, removing the visible lines of the 4 mm thick aluminium sheets meeting, improving aesthetics. On the sides, the case carries two tempered glass panels held by thumb screws in the corners. An odd shape perforates the top part of the aluminium sheet.

The internal structure is interesting, as the case is built for water cooling of the system. While the motherboard tray can support any format from Mini-ITX to E-ATX, the tray itself can be rotated, reversed, and removed entirely based on user preference. For radiator setup, the 977EK concept case can accommodate up to 420 mm radiators with 45 mm thickness at both the top and bottom of the chassis. Additionally, the case has support for 350 mm GPU, 7 or 8 PCIe slots (depending on the configuration), a PSU of 160 mm length, and an option for either one 3.5-inch drive bay or two 2.5-inch bays. The final production case will see some changes, as EK notes; however, they won't be too significant.

The ROG OLED gaming monitor lineup already contains a compelling set of options. The large-and-in-charge ROG Swift OLED PG42UQ and ROG Swift OLED PG48UQ deliver exceptional display characteristics across breathtakingly large panels. The fast, bright, and versatile ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM offers gaming excellence in the popular 27-inch size. Now, we're ready to bring all the advantages of OLED tech to gamers who crave the immersion of an ultra-wide display. Introducing the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD. Equipped with Smart KVM, a premium ROG cooling solution, and a bright, vibrant QD-OLED panel, this monitor is ready to take center stage for your gaming rig.

Ultra-wide and ultra-versatile
Considering that it's a 49-inch display, it might be better to call the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD a super-ultra-wide rather than just an ultra-wide. With its 5120x1440 resolution, it gives you all the desktop real estate provided by two separate 16:9 1440p displays. Its 1800R curvature wraps the display around the periphery of your vision, and helps ensure that colors are clear and bright, even at the extreme sides of the display.

Phanteks had several interesting products to show at the Computex 2023, including its new NV9 and NV5 PC cases and a rather interesting Revolt power supply, which will actually ship without any cables, allowing users to pick out their own according to the need from either Phanteks or CableMod.

The new Phanteks Revolt power supply is a rather interesting product as it is a made in collaboration with CableMod. The new Revolt PSU actually exceeds ATX 3.0 specification and is actually made by Seasonic so it should be a solid design. The most interesting feature is that it will actually ship without any cables, as Phanteks is teaming up with CableMod for custom cables, allowing users to actually choose their own cables to match the rest of the system. The Revolt power supplies are coming in August 2023, in 1000 W, 1200 W, and 1600 W versions. The 1000 W and 1200 W version will be available in black and white color options while the 1600 W version only comes in black. The MSRP is set at $199.99 for the 1000 W version, $249.99 for the 1200 W, and $399.99 for the 1600 W version. The custom cables should be available for pre-order from CableMod by the end of July.

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless gaming keyboard. Offering outstanding versatility, this compact keyboard features a 96% layout that retains all of the function and number keys found in a standard 100% keyboard, packed in a space-saving design. Gamers can pair the Strix Scope II 96 Wireless with up to three devices via Bluetooth. Users also have the option to use RF 2.4 GHz with ROG SpeedNova wireless technology and Omni Receiver, or a wired USB connection.

Pre-lubed, hot-swappable ROG NX Snow mechanical switches provide fast actuation, refined and linear keystrokes, and improved key stability. Built-in sound-dampening foam and a switch-dampening pad absorbs pinging noises and echoes to improve acoustics of the keyboard. Typing feel is exceptional as well, with pre-lubed, low-friction keyboard stabilizers enabling smoother keystrokes and stability for longer keys. The switches are topped with durable ROG PBT doubleshot keycaps or UV-coated ABS keycaps that offer premium feel and shine resistance. The Strix Scope II 96 Wireless will soon be joined by the Strix Scope II and Strix Scope II RX full-size gaming keyboards.

There has been no shortage of various SSD coolers to date, but none seems to have implemented a blower fan as yet. Well, Akasa decided that it was a product that was needed in the market and was showing off its Gecko Turbo Cooler at Computex. The heatsink part of the cooler is dwarfed by the blower fan that sits on top of it, making for a rather amusing looking device. As to the noise level, we can only guess, as it wasn't plugged in, but blower fans don't tend to be the quietest fans around. That said, it's likely to bring the best airflow of any M.2 SSD cooler to date, even though it might be a tad excessive, even for PCIe 5.0 SSDs.

Akasa might be the most well known third party housing manufacturer for Intel's NUC series of devices, most of which offer passive cooling and full aluminium construction. At Computex, Akasa was showing off its Cypher X133 which the company has been selling to system integrators for some time already, but there hasn't been a public announcement. The reason for keeping this product on the low is because it's using a low profile, server grade liquid cooling solution which takes some skill to install in the compact chassis. That said, the entire internals slide out on rails, which should make most parts much easier to access than in a typical chassis this size.

Even though it's a compact chassis, it can house an NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card, in addition to the NUC 13 Extreme, which is no small feat. That said, the width limit sits at 3.9 slots for the GPU, so some custom models with wider coolers might not work. The chassis is very much a premium product with a very nice finish that is easily comparable to high-end notebooks. Hopefully Akasa will figure out a way to make a more DIY friendly version of this chassis, although it's possible that the price tag will be too high for this to make sense as a DIY build.

PC OEM giant Acer has a growing lineup of retail channel PC products, including DIY enthusiast PC hardware under its Predator brand. The company showed some of this off at the 2023 Computex, in a booth organized by its memory products OEM BIWIN. First up, we have the Predator Hermes RGB line of high-end DDR5 memory kits. These feature elaborate aluminium heatspreaders with RGB LED illumination. We caught one of these in action, with a multi-zone RGB lighting. The Hermes RGB comes in 32 GB (2x 16 GB), and 64 GB (2x 32 GB) kits, and in speeds of DDR5-6800, DDR5-7200, DDR5-7600, DDR5-7800, and DDR5-8000, with CAS latencies ranging between 32 to 36T, and module voltages between 1.40 V to 1.45 V.

Among the consumer storage products showed off by the company include the MSC300 line of UHS-I microSDXC cards capable of 160 MB/s sequential speeds, which comes in capacities ranging between 32 GB to 256 GB. Among the SSD products shown were stuff we are already familiar with, including the FA100 Gen 4 NVMe SSD, RE100 Gen 3 NVMe SSD, the SA100 and RE100 SATA 6 Gbps SSDs; the SD100 lines of DDR4 and DDR5 SO-DIMM memory for laptops; CFE100 line of CFexpress cards, and and handful USB flash drives (UFDs).

HP brought some of its storage products to the Computex 2023 show, including the new HP Portable SSD P900, a portable storage option that will be available in 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB capacities, as well as plenty of color options, including Grey, Black, Silver, Green, and Pink. It also showed some storage cards and the FX900 Plus PCIe Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSD.

The HP Portable SSD P900 is pretty compact at 71x52x8.6 mm and weighs just 60 g. The sequential read and write speed are at 2,000 MB/s, which pretty much tops out the Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface. The HP Portable SSD P900 will be backed by a 3-year warranty.

Thermaltake has unveiled a whole new range of Toughpower SFX power supplies at the Computex 2023 show in Taipei. Since smaller SFF builds are becoming quite popular these days, it does not come as a surprise that Thermaltake is pushing this PSU form-factor to a whole new level. Thermaltake is not a stranger when it comes to SFX power supplies but its current Toughpower SFX Gold lineup will be expanded with new higher output models and given an ATX 3.0 specification, and it is introducing the new Toughpower SFX Platinum series.

The Thermaltake Toughpower SFX Gold lineup was already available in 450 W, 550 W, 650 W, and 750 W versions, but now, Thermaltake is bringing new 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, which are all compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature a native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. The Toughpower SFX Gold 750 W and 850 W models will use a standard SFX form-factor, while the 1000 W model will be based on a slightly longer SFX-L form factor. The star of the PSU show is the Toughpower SFX Platinum series, also coming in 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, and as the name suggests, these have 80 Plus Platinum efficiency. The Toughpower SFX Platinum will also be compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature the same native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. Both the Toughpower SFX Gold and the Toughpower SFX Platinum series are bundled with SFX to ATX adapter bracket. We expect them both in retail/e-tail soon.

During the Computex 2023 show, ASUS had some interesting designs to showcase. Specifically, ASUS has made a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU concept without an external power connector. With NVIDIA's reference 16-pin power connector melting due to an insufficient connection, ASUS has decided to experiment by removing the connector from its GPU and placing the power source as an extra bus connector on the motherboard. Called GeForce RTX 4070 Megalodon, ASUS has made a custom power connector that goes hand-in-hand with the ASUS TUF Gaming Z790 BTF motherboard that supports this connector, and the PSU cables go on the backside of the board.

Similarly to NVIDIA's 16-pin 12VHPWR connector, this custom design is also rated for up to 600 Watts of power delivery. This results in a design that facilities the user error of not correctly pushing the 16-pin connector and causing melting. For now, the connector is referred to as GC_HPWR, but there will be an official name at launch as the company plans mass production of this concept. You can see the design of the RTX 4070 Megalodon alongside the accompanying ASUS TUF Gaming Z790 BTF motherboard.

CORSAIR at the 2023 Computex made a big splash in the DIY liquid cooling components space, with a series of new CPU water-blocks, VGA water-blocks, pump+reservoirs, and other components, featuring the company's iCUE Link smart lighting system. Some of these even come with elaborate LCD displays for real-time monitoring. To begin with, the company unveiled the iCUE Link XC7 RGB Elite and iCUE Link XC7 RGB Elite LCD series CPU water-blocks.

These feature nickel-plated copper main material, micro-fin lattices for heat-dissipation to the coolant, and an coolant-flow channel design that intricately guides coolant through the micro-fin lattice. Unlike most other DIY CPU water-blocks that have their coolant fittings on top, the XC7 series features them along the sides, using a mechanism similar to AIO CLCs. This ensures that the top is freed up either for elaborate lighting (in case of the XC7 RGB Elite), or that display (in case of the XC7 RGB Elite LCD).
