Thermalright brought several new CPU and M.2 SSD coolers to the 2024 Computex. Our tour of the Thermalright Computex booth began with the HR10, a high-performance active cooling solution for M.2-2280 SSDs. Its design involves an aluminium base from which two heatpipes draw heat from the drive, pushing it through an aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 40 mm fan. The cooler comes in two trims—black and silver/chrome. The Frozen Infinity 360 is the company's flagship AIO liquid CPU cooler. It features a 360 mm radiator, a cube-shaped pump-block which features an infinite-reflection ARGB ornament. Each of the three included 120 mm fans has infinite reflection ARGB diffusers along their sides. The cooler comes in black- and white trims.

The Thermalright Royal Lord is a thick single fin-stack (U-type) CPU cooler. It features a large CPU base that supports HEDT processors, seven 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes, fully soldered construction, and a high static-pressure 120 mm fan with a fluid-dynamic bearing. This cooler supports large CPU sockets such as the Intel Socket E, or AMD sTR5. The Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 EVO, much like the Royal Lord, is a single fin-stack heatsink, but with a narrower fin-stack, a brushed metal 2-tone top-plate, and two 120 mm fans in push-pull configuration, instead of just one. This cooler uses six 6 mm-thick heatpipes, and has dark powder-coating along all its metal bits.

XIGMATEK brought a huge selection of cases to the 2024 Computex, but they also unveiled several new CPU coolers and power supplies, which we'll cover in this article. The Loki M L750 and Loki M L850 are mainstream full-modular PSUs. These meet ATX 3.1 and PCIe Gen 5.1 specs, and put out a modern 12V-2x6 power connector. Under the hood, these feature a single +12 V rail design with DC-to-DC switching, active PFC, and 80 Plus Bronze efficiency. Cooling these PSUs are 120 mm fans tuned for low-noise.

XIGMATEK showed us three models of AIO liquid CPU coolers, the Frozr-O III, and the Frozr Connect Arctic series. The Frozr-O III come in sizes of up to 360 mm x 120 mm, with addressable RGB LEDs for the fans, and the pump-block. This comes in white and black. There is a premium variant of this cooler with a softer lighting diffuser on the pump, some tubing combs, higher static-pressure fans, and what looks like a thicker radiator.

We don't believe we're mistaken in saying that the Thermaltake booth at this year's Computex was among the largest and most crowded, both in terms of products and visitors. Among the products that left a strong impression, we'd like to highlight The Tower 600, 250 Mini, TR-100 Mini-ITX case series, and the extensive range of coolers and accessories. It's difficult to determine the most successful Thermaltake product from Computex 2024, but surely each of us can find at least one that resonates with our preferences.

We conclude our visit to Thermaltake's Computex booth by presenting other novelties from the Thermaltake stand, cases, AIO coolers and air coolers, DDR5 memories and various accessories.

In addition to a couple of interesting PC cases that will be coming later this year, Lian Li also brought some cooling products and other accessories to the Computex 2024 show floor, including the new HydroShift LCD AIO cooler, as well as new UNI FAN fans and Strimer cables that come with support for Lian Li's new wireless controller for PC case accessories. Lian Li also announced its collaboration with SignalRGB, launching a beta version of L-Connect 3 software, which will provide users with better and easier way to control lighting effects across all components, and it both looks and works pretty good as far as we could see at the show floor.

The new Lian Li HydroShift LCD AIO cooler, will only be available only in 360 mm size, at least for now, and come in three different versions, HydroShift LCD 360S, HydroShift LCD 360RGB, and the HydroShift LCD 360TL. The difference between the three models come in terms of radiator and fans, depending on the usage. All three feature a 2.88-inch IPS 480x480 resolution screen with 500 nits of brightness on top of a 72x72x59 mm block. The screen itself will support the aforementioned L-Connect 3 software, which can then show all the data.

The NH-L12Sx77 is a slightly taller variant of the award-winning NH-L12S, offering improved cooling performance as well as enhanced motherboard and RAM compatibility. "Our NH-L12S is a popular choice for compact builds in cases like the Fractal Design Terra or Louqe RAW S1, but due to its height of only 70 mm, RAM compatibility and clearance for tall motherboard components are limited. At the same time, many of these cases offer a bit of extra space", explains Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "This is where the new NH-L12Sx77 steps in: It makes use of that extra space in order to provide enhanced compatibility and even better cooling performance, which comes in handy when building powerful gaming or productivity setups."

With 6 instead of 4 heatpipes, the NH-L12Sx77 offers significantly more headroom for higher heat-loads compared to the original NH-L12S. As such, it is ideal for getting the most out of today's high-end CPUs in compact cases where their aggressive turboboost modes are especially challenging to handle. The NH-L12Sx77 not only improves performance but also motherboard and RAM compatibility versus the original NH-L12S: Due to the x77 version's taller construction, clearance for RAM modules as well as motherboard heatsinks and shrouds could be increased significantly, which makes the cooler an easy fit in most configurations.

Akasa today introduced the ALUCIA H4A, a low-profile air-type CPU cooler for AMD sockets AM5 and AM4. With its fan in place, the cooler has a Z-height of just under 30 mm, which it achieves using a highly compacted fin-stack heatsink, and a thin form-factor fan. The cooler can deal with AMD Ryzen processors with TDP of up to 95 W, which should make it fit for the majority of processor- and APU models. Its design involves a nickel-plated copper base located between a factory-fitted retention-module. From this base, four 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes pass through, conveying heat to an aluminium fin-stack heatsink, which is ventilated by a 92 mm fan.

The Akasa ALUCIA H4A measures 94 mm x 94 mm x 29.5 mm (WxDxH), weighing 232 g. Its 92 mm ball-bearing fan is rated for 40,000 hours by its designers.

Arctic is giving finishing touches to its new Liquid Freezer III all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. Designed almost entirely in-house by Arctic, the cooler features a few unique design improvements over its predecessor, the Liquid Freezer II series. To begin with, the pump-block features a unique design resembling an aircraft turbofan engine intake. In the previous generations of Liquid Freezer, the VRM area ventilation fan appeared suspended on top of the pump-block, like it's a secondary fixture. Here, the fan is located inside top vent of the pump-block, and guides all its airflow laterally, providing some airflow to your CPU VRM and memory areas. The pump is located adjacent to this fan.

There are three color trims with four size variants, each. The color trims include White + ARGB, Black + ARGB, and Black sans lighting. In the White + ARGB and Black + ARGB variants, the lighting includes an addressable RGB LED element on the pump-block, with the fan vent serving as an LED diffuser; and each of the included fan having lighting of its own. Size variants for each of the three trims include 240 (240 mm x 120 mm); 280 (280 mm x 140 mm); 360 (360 mm x 120 mm); and 420 (420 mm x 140 mm). Arctic has made improvements to the radiator design, to extend its finnage (heat dissipation surfare area) to the edges of the frame. We'll learn more detailed specs such as the cooling performance and fan specs, as we head closer to product launch.The leaked teaser trailer for the Arctic Liquid Freezer III follows.
