Enermax today debuted the LiqFusion line of all-in-one, closed-loop, liquid CPU coolers, with the LiqFusion 240, which as its name suggests, is the model with a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator. The design focus behind this series appears to be on more RGB LED bling compared to the older Liqtech series. The pump-block is cylindrical, and has a 3-dimensional RGB LED diffuser made of multiple diodes, which doubles up as an acrylic top, and gives you a perception of "spinning." There's a flow-indicator plumed along one of the coolant tubes.

Keeping up with the RGB LED bling of the pump-block, Enermax is including a pair of T.B. RGB 120 mm fans, which come with three diffuser rings along the perimeter of the fan-frame. These fans spin between 500-2,000 RPM, pushing 23.81-102.17 CFM of air, with noise-outputs ranging between 14 ~ 28 dBA, each. The block comes with pre-applied Dow Corning TC-5121 TIM. The cooler supports most modern CPU socket types, including AM4, AM3(+), FM2(+), LGA2066, LGA2011(v3), and LGA115x. The RGB LED lighting supports standardized 4-pin header. The company didn't reveal pricing.

The Alphacool XPX RGB frame is intended for users of the Eisblock XPX CPU cooler who are looking for the perfect lighting for their cooler. The RGB frame simply slides over the Eisblock XPX cooler and is then connected to the RGB controller. With an impressive 15 RGB LEDs evenly distributed over the XPX Eisblock CPU cooler, perfect lighting is guaranteed. The RGB controller lets you change not only the colors, but also add color effects like gradients, blinking, slow color changes, and much more. Many controllers also include a dimmer function. The Alphacool XPX RGB frame leaves nothing to be desired.

EVGA today introduced the CLC 120 CL11 all-in-one, closed-loop, liquid CPU cooler (model: 400-HY-CL11-V1). The cooler is based on an all new pump-block design that appears to be more cost-effective than the rounded-square pump-block EVGA uses on its original CLC series coolers. It lacks RGB LED lighting, but offers "improved coolant flow-rate, and higher surface-area for heat dissipation," according to EVGA. Taking advantage of the higher coolant pressure, EVGA deployed a slightly thicker radiator, which is 30 mm thick compared to the 27 mm thickness of the original's radiator.

This is a bi-metal liquid cooler, in that the block is made of copper, while the radiator is made of aluminium. The company still backs it with a 5-year warranty. The block supports only Intel sockets, including LGA2066, LGA2011(v3), and LGA115x. The other area of cost-cutting appears to be the included fan. It has a simpler impeller design than the one EVGA includes with the CLC 120, and only has 2/3rds its maximum airflow. The "Teflon nano bearing" makes way for simpler sleeve bearing; speeds range up to 1,800 RPM (the original spins up to 2,400 RPM), and maximum airflow is 58.87 CFM (against 74.87 CFM of the original). Available now, the EVGA CLC 120 CL11 is priced at USD $59.99, $30 cheaper than the original CLC 120.

ID-Cooling rolled out the DK-03 Halo AMD Red, a simple top-flow CPU cooler that acts as a replacement to AMD's decent Wraith-series coolers. It should particularly appeal to those who opt for models that lack stock coolers (eg: Ryzen 5 1600X, Ryzen 7 1700X, 1800X, etc.). The cooler's design consists of a cylindrical aluminium heatsink with radially-projecting fins, ventilated by a large 120 mm fan. The heatsink looks taller than that of a Wraith Spire, yet narrower, for clearance around the memory and VRM areas. A pre-installed clip-type retention mechanism lets the cooler support AMD sockets AM4, AM3(+), and FM2(+).

With its factory-installed fan in place, the cooler measures 130 mm x 130 mm x 63 mm (WxDxH), weighing about 365 g. The fan features a red LED diffuser that draws power from the fan's power supply. The fan spins at speeds of up to 1,600 RPM, pushing up to 58.4 CFM of air, with a noise output of 26.4 dBA. The cooler is rated for thermal loads of up to 100W, which means you will be able to run 95W TDP Ryzen chips such as the 1800X at stock speeds, without expecting much overclocking headroom. Available now, the DK-03 Halo AMD Red is expected to be priced around USD $14.99.

AMD unveiled its new-generation Wraith Prism CPU cooler, which will soon be available for purchase separately, launched alongside some of the higher models of its Ryzen 2000-series "Pinnacle Ridge" processors. The Wraith Prism is essentially a Wraith Max with RGB LED lighting. The cooler features two RGB LED diffusers embedded into its shroud, an outer ring at the mouth of the intake, and an inner ring along the bore of the intake framing the fan. You will be able to control the RGB LED lighting via Ryzen Master software, but it will also support software standards from motherboard vendors, such as ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, BIOSTAR Vivid, etc. Under the shroud, the Wriath Prism features the same aluminium fin-stack heatsink as the Wriath Max. The cooler features fan-profiles for various CPU OC modes, which can be enabled via Ryzen Master. When it starts selling separately, the Wraith Prism could be priced around $49, a $5-ish premium over Wraith Max.

ARCTIC adds a new model to its successful Freezer 33 series: the Freezer 33 eSports ONE. This powerful CPU cooler impresses with its high cooling capacity, the simple mounting system, and a new look with colourful BioniX fans. The cooler's offset heat pipes distribute the heat ideally into the heat sink fins. The special thermal coating of the aluminium fins leads to an optimised heat dissipation and in combination with the offset heat pipes an improved cooling performance.

The BioniX F120 gaming fan distinguishes itself through a very quiet operation, an optimal airflow, and an extended life span. PWM Sharing Technology regulates the fan speed in a wide speed range from 200 to 1,800 rpm. In sum, the Freezer 33 eSports ONE is a quiet tower CPU cooler for high demands that gives top notch performance up to 200 W TDP, it is compatible with Intel and AMD sockets and available in four colour options.

SilverStone released the latest entry to its Argon line of low-profile CPU coolers, with the Argon AR 11. Designed for LGA115x socket, with an installed height of just 47 mm, the cooler is ideal for SFF builds on mini-ITX motherboards, as its 97 mm x 94 mm x 47 mm aren't much larger than the CPU socket area of LGA115x motherboards itself. Like most Argon series coolers, its heatsink design involves a dense aluminium fin stack that propagates along the plane of the motherboard. Four 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes, which make direct contact with the CPU, pass through two ends of the fin-stack in an "S" shape. The fin-stack is ventilated by a 15 mm-thick 92 mm fan, which takes in 4-pin PWM input, spins between 1,200 to 3,000 RPM, pushing up to 55.76 CFM of air, with a noise output of 44.5 dBA at max speed. The cooler supports CPU TDP of up to 95W, which means you should be able to install even 6-core "Coffee Lake-D" Processors. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Jonsbo today introduced the CR-301 White Edition, a variant of the original CR-301 C-type top-flow CPU cooler the company introduced in December 2017. The whitewash extends to the fan frames, impellers, the 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes, and a steel top-plate capping the aluminium fin-stack, in which the fins are left to its natural color. The fans still retain the RGB LED illumination from the original, even though the fan frame and the white surfaces have a matte finish instead of glossy black on the original. The rest of its feature-set is the same as the original.

At its new product launch suite along the sidelines of the 2018 International CES, Be Quiet showed off a large number of new products, beginning with the Dark Rock Pro 4, the company's new flagship CPU air cooler, and its second-fiddle, the Dark Rock 4. These are two entirely different coolers. While the Dark Rock Pro 4 is dual fin-stack aluminium fin tower cooler, the Dark Rock 4 is features a single but thick aluminium fin-stack. Seven 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes pass through the two fin-stacks int he Dark Rock Pro 4, which are ventilated by two fans in push-pull configuration, even as the cooler can hold up to three fans. The outside "push" fan is a 120 mm SilentWings 3, while the "pull" fan, nestled between the two fin stacks, is a larger 135 mm SilentWings fan. You can run the cooler without the outer 120 mm fan.

The Dark Rock Pro 4 is designed to handle thermal loads of up to 250W, which means it supports a variety of HEDT CPU socket types. Be Quiet hopes to launch this cooler some time in Q2-2018. The Dark Rock 4, on the other hand, features a more conventional single fin-stack tower design, with six 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes transporting heat through the fin-stack. The heatsink is venilated by a 135 mm SilentWings fan. The Dark Rock 4 can handle thermal loads of up to 200W, and it too will feature support for various HEDT CPU sockets. This cooler is slated for Q2-2018, too. Both models feature improvements to the fin design, including small dots that increase surface area, and a dark ceramic coating that improves heat dissipation.

Jonsbo introduced the futuristic-looking CR-401 air CPU cooler. The U-type aluminium dual fin-stack cooler features a monolithic industrial design thanks to the metal shroud concealing the sides and top of the fin-stacks, and a discrete 120 mm fan between the two fin-stacks underneath. The top features an RGB LED lighting diffuser, while keeping up with the black color-scheme of the shroud, the aluminium fin-stacks and heat-pipes are black. Five coated copper heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU at the base, with their two ends passing through the two fin-stacks; which are ventilated by the 120 mm fan between them in pull-push configuration, which has an RGB LED-illuminated frame of its own.

The discrete 120 mm fan takes in PWM input, spins between 800 to 1,600 RPM, with a noise output ranging between 18 to 25 dBA, although the company didn't list its air-flow. Measuring 125 mm x 88 mm x 165 mm (WxDxH), the CR-401 weighs 860 g. It is rated by its designers for thermal loads of up to 135W, and hence only supports today's mainstream-desktop CPU sockets, including AM4, AM3(+), FM2(+), and LGA115x. The RGB LED elements of the diffuser and fan take in standard 4-pin input, and support a 256-color palette. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Jonsbo today introduced the Angel Eye TW2 series all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. Available in two variants based on radiator size - the TW2-120 with a 120 mm x 120 mm radiator, and the TW2-240 with the 240 mm x 120 mm radiator; the series includes sub-variants based on the type of RGB LED lighting. The "standard edition" variants have RGB LED lighting limited to the pump-block, with non-illuminated radiator fans; "Version 501" variants have RGB LED lighting on the pump-block as well as the fan impeller; while the range-topping "Version 601" variants have RGB LED lighting on the circular fan-frames instead of the impeller.

The pump-block is cylindrical, with a prominent circular RGB LED diffuser framing it from the top. The copper block features a 0.15 mm micro-fin lattice. The radiator is made of aluminium. All sub-variants of the TW2-120 and TW2-240 have the same cooling performance, as their fans otherwise have identical specs - PWM power input, 800 to 1,500 RPM speed, 21.6 to 50.4 CFM air-flow, and up to 25 dBA noise output, each. The coolers support AMD sockets AM4, AM3(+), FM2(+); and Intel sockets LGA2066, LGA2011(v3), LGA1366, LGA115x, and LGA775. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Jonsbo today introduced the CR-301 RGB top-flow CPU cooler. Designed to handle thermal loads of up to 135W, the cooler supports mainstream-desktop sockets, including AM4 and LGA115x. Its design involves two independent aluminium fin-stacks that propagate along the plane of the motherboard, which draw heat from the base via heat-pipes. Heat to the upper main cuboid fin-stack is supplied by four heat-pipes, while it's fed to the smaller lower truncated-pyramid shaped fin-stack by two heat-pipes. All six heat-pipes are 6 mm-thick.

Ventilating the two fin-stacks are two 120 mm PWM fans with RGB multi-color LED lighting. The upper fan is to be installed above the upper fin-stack, and the lower fan between the two fin-stacks. Spinning at speeds of 600 to 1,600 RPM, the fans push 23.8 - 76.6 m³/h of air, with a noise output of 18.0 - 25.0 dB(A), each. Together the fans blow air downwards, and the fins of the lower stack guide air onto the CPU VRM and memory areas. Besides AM4 and LGA115x, the cooler supports AM3(+), FM2(+), and LGA775. Measuring 128 mm x 138 mm x 135 mm (LxWxH), the cooler weighs 890 g. It will be sold under the Cooltek brand in the EU. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Japanese cooling expert Scythe presents the significantly improved "Mark II" version of its Kotetsu CPU Cooler. While keeping the basic design of the predecessor, Kotetsu Mark II comes with both visual and technical improvements. One of the key advances is the offset, where the heatsink is not centered but moved to the side and the rear. This allows the CPU Cooler to increase the distance to the first PCI-Express slot, offering unchallenged compatibility to VGA card with outsized cooling solutions and avoid clearance issues with memory modules with large heatsinks at the same time. Kotetsu Mark II is able to deliver a significant performance boost compared to the first version, thanks to an optimization of the manufacturing process. Visual improvements include the new aluminum-look top-cover and nickel-plated heatpipes and base-plate. The Kotetsu Mark II is bundled with a high-quality PWM-fan from Scythe's Kaze Flex 120 PWM series. In spite of the significant improvements of performance and visuals, Kotetsu Mark II price is remaining to assure the best possible price-performance ratio.
