According to VideoCardz, ASRock has already listed Intel's upcoming lineup of motherboards in its Polychrome Sync software for controlling the RGB lighting of your motherboard. In the installed program files, ASRock displays several of the models that are a part of Intel's upcoming LGA1200-based Comet Lake-S 10th generation of CPUs. There are a total of nine Z490 motherboards and they are ASRock Z490 AQUA, Phantom Gaming 4, Phantom Gaming 4 SR, Phantom Gaming 6, Pro4, Steel Legend, Taichi, Z490M ITX AC, and Z490M Pro4.

When it comes to the cheaper, non-overclockable H470 chipset, there are two motherboards listed - H470 Steel Legend and H470M ITX AC. Additionally, perhaps one of the most interesting finds is the appearance of W480 chipset meant for workstation solutions. The motherboard using the new chipset is a model named W480 Creator, which should be a new addition to the consumer motherboard lineup.

Take your first step into the world of liquid-cooling with the new EK-AIO (All-In-One) CPU cooler. Simple to use and easy to install, the EK AIO is a plug-and-play water-cooling solution requiring no assembly or maintenance. Top of its class cooling performance accompanied by fully customizable D-RGB lighting - the EK-AIO is an ideal solution for anyone who requires something more than an ordinary air cooler. The EK-AIO comes in three size variants, each offering different levels of cooling performance.

EK-AIO 120 D-RGB: The single 120 mm radiator version of the EK-AIO is ready to accommodate any mainstream processor on the market while running on its basic settings. It is best used in small form factor PCs where space is limited, where tall air cooling solutions are not an option, but high-performance cooling is still needed. EK-AIO 240 D-RGB: The dual fan EK-AIO with a 240 mm radiator is the perfect all-rounder for standard case sizes. The radiator surface is big enough to combat any mainstream CPU on the market and even has enough headroom for overclocking. An AIO with cooling capacities like this can either provide a super silent PC setup or can help harness the extra performance of an overclocked processor.

Kolink today has launched their Void Midi-Tower, which features a striking design on its front chassis. Through the usage of an infinity mirror and RGB lighting, the angular, V-shaped front panel achieves a very striking look - if the press materials are anything to go by. I have an Oblivion callback with this one - anyone remember the Tet?

The Kolink Void seems to tick many more boxes than a PSU at its price-point should, with support for 5x 120 mm fans (two on the top, one on the back, and two in the front with support for a 240 mm radiator), a PSU shroud, an included 120 mm RGB fan, tempered glass side-panel, steel innards, and support for up to four drives (2x 3.5", 2x 2.5"). Maximum graphics card length stands at 310 mm, maximum CPU cooler height at 160 mm, and PSU length can go up to 180 mm. The Kolink Void is compatible with Micro-ATX, Mini-ATX and ATX motherboards, and is available for £46.99 ($61, approximately).

Visiting Bitspower at CES or Computex is a real adventure of sorts in terms of not knowing what to expect. Last year, for example, we were greeted to LN2 pots of all things, in addition to new blocks and fans that made their way to the retail market over the subsequent months. It was also interesting to take a look back at the concept of the Premium Summit M CPU block from last year, knowing what it turned out now. This year, the company hosted us again at CES and had a large hotel suite full of products- refreshes, and new alike. We take a look at their offerings here, and be sure to read past the break for more.

The very first thing we saw was a distribution plate/case hybrid, which Bitspower wants to bring out as a test bench case later this year. There have been other such executions come out recently, including some at CES from other companies, and this is a natural extension of the distro plate development that has caught the mind of several custom watercooling companies for one reason or another. This particular version uses two Xylem DDC pumps with Bitspower heatsinks, and has four large feet to prop up the finished build horizontally for testing/display. Bitspower expects to introduce the finalized version at Computex later this year, and are seeking feedback from our readers on what features they would like to see here.

HyperX made a splash at CES 2020 with several innovations. The star-attraction was the ChargePlay Clutch, an innovative Nintendo Switch battery dock that lets you extend your gaming session by augmenting a hot-swappable battery-pack. This battery pack has a Qi certified wireless charging receptacle, and the separately-purchasable ChargePlay Qi dock lets you charge up to two battery packs in one go. You can also split the contraption into two, such that the head unit sits on a table with a kick-stand, while the two JoyCons get grips of their own.

The HyperX Cloud Flight S is another innovative gaming peripheral for those on the move. It is an around-the-ear headset with a conventional mic stock. One of the two cans has a Qi wireless charging receptacle so you can charge it on any Qi-compatible charging surface. The internal batteries provide up to 30 hours of use on a full charge. The internal DAC provides a virtual 7.1 surround sound, while the NGenuity software lets you control its RGB illuminated HyperX logos.

Plextor showed off its very recently announced M9P line of premium PCI-Express NVMe SSDs at CES 2020. The M9P Plus comes in both half-height add-in card (AIC) form-factor, and a more conventional M.2-2280 form-factor. In both, it leverages PCI-Express 3.0 x4 along with the NVMe 1.3 protocol.

German DIY liquid cooling major Alphacool brought two unique turnkey products to CES 2020, the updated Eisbaer Aurora AIO CPU cooler, and the Eiswolf AIO graphics card cooler. The Eisbaer Aurora is an original design by Alphacool, and bring a few feature additions with this generation. To begin with, Alphacool claims the pump is significantly quieter than the original Eisbaer. The casing of the new Eisbaer's pump-block now comes with ARGB (digital RGB) embellishments. If you look closely into the acrylic windows, you'll see illuminated polar bears around the pump housing.

The tubing and quick-release fittings have been updated to Alphacool's latest TPV series. Lastly, Alphacool has upgraded the included fans to the new Aurora Lux Pro fans that have ARGB lighting. The Eisbaer Aurora comes in four variants based on radiator size: 240 mm x 120 mm, 280 mm x 140 mm, 360 mm x 120 mm, and 420 mm x 140 mm. The biggest advantage Alphacool claims over other AIOs is the choice of materials: both the block and radiator are copper.

During the CES 2020, we stopped by iBuyPower's booth, where we were shown a work in progress for an ambient lighting solution for your living room which mimics the setup of a 5.1 surround sound audio solution. It is a WIFI connected lighting setup, which enables you to adjust lighting based on what is playing on the TV or adjust it to suit your mood. The shown implementation did not include any speakers, but that is an option being considered. In addition to the 5 channels being placed traditionally around your TV, there is one square element that is intended to go on the ceiling, but as each light required separate power this could be an issue with very few living rooms coming with a plug in the ceiling to accommodate this. The whole setup can be controlled via software on your PC or an app on your phone, but as this is just a first version of the whole setup, things are prone to change before it hits retail as well. That said, while some may have had enough of the RGB craze, the lighting was quite immersive and could be interesting for gamers or movie aficionados.

GIGABYTE, the world's leading premium gaming hardware manufacturer, today announced the launch of the Radeon RX 5600 XT GAMING OC 6G and Radeon RX 5600 XT WINDFORCE OC 6G. The latest Radeon RX 5600 XT series graphics processing built with 7 nm processor technology with RDNA architecture is designed for the best 1080 pixel gaming experience, and supports the PCI Express 4.0 interface. It delivers extreme 1080 pixel performance so users can enjoy higher game fidelity, better gaming performance with higher frame rates, and ultra-fast response times, for a better gaming experience than ever before.

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5600 XT GAMING OC 6G is cooled by the WINDFORCE 3X cooling system that comes with triple 90 mm unique blade fans and alternate spinning fans. The thermal cooling solution includes 5 copper heat-pipes that directly touch the GPU so the heat from the GPU will be dissipated rapidly via conductivity effect. With these thermal dissipation methods, GIGABYTE tends to each component's temperatures for VRAM and MOSFETs at the same time, keeping components at low temperatures during the stable working state and extends the lifespan. The black metal back plate not only strengthens the overall structure but also prevents the PCB from bending or losing parts and gives the external design a more textured look. Moreover, GAMING OC has LOGO lighting on the card side so gamers can synchronize 16.7 million customizable color options and numerous lighting effects with other AORUS devices by clicking on RGB Fusion 2.0. It also allows users to adjust the diversified gaming atmosphere to what they have in mind.

CORSAIR introduced us to their small form factor Capellix LEDs, co-developed with Primax, at CES last year and has since been utilizing them in memory and peripheral products alike. So it was just a natural next step for them to find a way to include them into their cases, and the company took to CES 2020 to show off a traditional retail case which has been covered with a film encompassing these LEDs.

The glass panels are lined with a thin, transparent film so that you are able to have a matrix of these RGB LEDs on the backside without any easily visible wires, which makes for quite a unique look. This implementation does require a lot of more complex wiring relative to a standard LED strip, tiny as it still may be spatially, which currently limits the number of LEDs that could be embedded in such a removable panel, but the result is attention-grabbing regardless. There is no concrete launch date or pricing for this, and CORSAIR is still deciding if they will include these on current cases as a special edition or for future enclosure products. That said, the implementation at CES already looked pretty clean externally and, a fun fact is, you can touch them on the backside of the glass panel and will not get zapped.

Tech innovator GELID Solutions unveils the latest LED strip kit for gaming rigs and computer workplaces. The FlexLightRGB is a product of GELID Solution Gamer product line. The FlexLightRGBcomes with 150 SMD 5050 LEDs and supports the 24 bit RGB LED Color Function for over 16.7 million RGB colors controlled in 20 static and dynamic lighting programs. All the color modes can be customized via the included RGB controller unit and IR remote. The FlexLight RGB features the 5 m long transparent strip with double-sided adhesive to fit any gaming rig, computer desk or workplace. It is made of a specially engineered shockproof and ultra-flexible polymer so you can easily roll or bend the strip body to any shape you want.

"RGB steps beyond PC, peripherals and gaming consoles. The FlexLightRGB is designed to perfectly fit your gaming workplace and enrich your modding experience with 24 bit RGB colors and vivid lighting programs", said Gebhard Scherrer, Sales Director of GELID Solutions Ltd. The FlexLightRGB is available now and has a MSRP of USD 18.99 or Euro 16.99.

Silverstone at CES 2020 took the opportunity to showcase selections of their portfolio for the media, ranging from PC cases in major form-factors, PSUs, and a range of "ease-of-life" and aesthetic-driven accessories. Accessory-wise, there's a range of SSD-related products, such as the MS09 stick, which allows conversion of an M.2 SSD to what basically amounts to a USB 3.1 pen drive; other products in this category include the MS09-Mini and the MS11, which improves support for the NVMe protocol. The ECM26 is a PCIe adapter for M.2 sticks, while the Silverstone TP02-M2 presents itself as a heatsink for installation on non-passive-cooled M.2 SSDs.

Continuing the SSD accessories galore, there are a number of other solutions, including a tool-less NMVe to PCIe adapter (ECM21-E), an ARGB powered one (ECM24-ARGB, which includes a heatsink), a simpler, non-ARGB one with a heatsink (ECM23), and my personal favorite, a docking station for a barebones M.2 drive you may have around, in the form of the TS16 station. The presence of a Power button very surely means this can't be hot-swapped - the risk of data-loss is real.

Really like the "cheese grater" perforated front intakes of the latest Mac Pro, but want to stick to your PC hardware and Windows? MetallicGear has you covered with the Neo Pro. Available in two trims that look similar to "silver" and "space gray," the Neo Pro features a high air-flow front intake concealing two 140 mm fan-mounts that can hold a 280 mm x 140 mm radiator. Inside, you get a conventional horizontally-partitioned layout, with the motherboard tray supporting not just ATX, but also wider E-ATX motherboards. Unlike with the Mac Pro, though, the front panel is made of ABS. Front-panel ports are located at the top, and a tempered glass panel covers the left side. Available from some time in March 2020, the MetallicGear Neo Pro is priced at $60.

MetallicGear also showed us the Neo Matrix. This case is almost identical to the Neo Pro, but with two big differences: the most obvious one is the programmable 7 x 17 ARGB LED matrix across the front-panel; and two 120 mm exhausts along the top-panel, where you can mount a 240 mm radiator (the Neo Pro doesn't have this). Available from March 2020 alongside the Neo Pro, the Neo Matrix is priced at $100.

Cooler Master unveiled several new CPU coolers this CES, including major design updates to some of its best-selling models. To begin with, the new Hyper 212 EVO is refreshed with a new V2 model. The tower-type aluminium fin-stack heatsink now comes with an asymmetric design that offsets the fin-stack away from your motherboard's memory slots. It also comes with an updated mounting bracket set for easier installation; and an updated Cooler Master SickleFlow V2 120 mm fan that comes with higher airflow, letting the designers lower RPM and noise. Available from February 2020, the Hyper 212 EVO V2 is priced at USD $36.99. Speaking of the SickleFlow V2 fan, an updated rifle-bearing frame, and updated Air Balance fan-blade design. The 120 mm spinner comes in four variants based on lighting: $7.99 for lack of it, $9.99 for red/blue single-color, $13.99 for RGB, and $16.99 for ARGB.

Next up, is the MasterAir G200P, a low-profile, top-flow cooler designed for thermal loads under 100 W. With a height of just 39.4, the cooler features a dense aluminium fin-stack heatsink with a copper base-plate, which is ventilated by a thin 92 mm PWM fan. Available from January 14, it is priced at $44.99. Cooler Master also refreshed the top-end of its MasterAir line of air coolers, with the new V8GTS ARGB, an "8 heat-pipe masterpiece" that uses three aluminium fin-stacks sandwiching two 140 mm fans. The heat-pipes on this thing pull heat from a vapor-chamber plate that makes contact with the CPU. Slated for June 2020 availability, the V8GTS ARGB will be priced around $89-99. The Hyper DT614 is another premium cooler: a dual fin-stack heatsink with a 140 mm fan in the middle, and a stylish metal top-plate. Available from Q2-2020, it is expected to be priced at $79 to $89.

Elgato, the leading provider of hardware and software for content creators, today announced the launch of both Elgato 4K60 S+, a cutting-edge external 4K60 HDR10 capture solution capable of standalone SD card recording, and Elgato Key Light Air, a compact model of the wildly popular Key Light LED panel. Elgato's parent company CORSAIR also announced the K95 RGB PLATINUM XT mechanical gaming keyboard - the first keyboard to integrate Elgato Stream Deck software, enabling powerful instant control of streaming apps and devices at just the press of a key.

4K60 S+ debuts as Elgato's most powerful external capture device yet. In addition to USB 3.0 connectivity for live streaming via a PC, 4K60 S+ features a memory card slot to record gorgeous 4K60 HDR10 gameplay directly to an SD card without the need for a connected computer. Onboard HEVC encoding keeps file sizes manageable, while true zero-lag passthrough displays high-fidelity Xbox One X and PS4 Pro games in their original format for an uninterrupted, authentic gaming experience.

ViewSonic today unveiled a massive 55-inch OLED gaming monitor that's sure to tick all of the boxes - including (likely) that of most expensive monitor money can buy. The XG550 is an OLED-based, 55" gaming monitor with 4K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate - alongside a pretty amazing 0.5 ms quoted response time. The fact that it offers 99% coverage of DCI color-space is just icing on the cake for any creative professionals, although I'd imagine they'd much enjoy an 8K presentation on that diagonal size (hey, we can always ask for more, can't we?).

The monitor also supports RGB lighting on a LED emitter on the back of the display (sadly, nothing like Philip's Ambilight, but hey, it at least serves to make your gaming area more interesting; and it's compatible with Razer Chroma). No word on pricing, but ViewSonic expects the Xg550 to be available come 4Q 2020.

BIOSTAR have left out a teaser trailer for a new motherboard, which seemingly packs an improvement to the company's RGB design on the heatsinks surrounding the CPU area. While this could simply be a new product announcement for an already existing motherboard lineup, we know fully well that Intel is gearing up for the announcement of their Comet Lake-S family of CPUs, which have already been broadly approached in this publication. It makes sense for motherboard companies, who are certainly already privy to the new Intel platform specifications, to start teasing the new features they've come up with to accompany a new generation of motherboards.

Intel's Comet Lake-S family will introduce builders to the new Intel LGA 1200 socket (some things never do change). The new 10000 series CPUs should see another core bump through the lineup, with the top of the line Core I9-10900K CPU sporting a reported 125 W TDP running through its 10-core, 20-thread design. Considering the number of leaks and additional information that has been recently coming to light regarding Intel's latest CPU launch, it seems plausible that the company is gearing up to an announcement, and as such, motherboard makers are also flexing their marketing muscles to get in the first wave of sales.

MSI today unveiled the Optix MAG272QR, a 27-inch fast gaming monitor. Slotted in the company's Arsenal Gaming family, the MAG272QR features a VA panel with WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution, 165 Hz refresh-rate, 1 ms (GTG) response-time, AMD FreeSync support, and 95.6% DCI-P3 coverage. Other key panel specs include 10 bpc color (1.07 billion colors), 178°/178° viewing-angles, 300 cd/m² maximum brightness, and dynamic mega-contrast ratio, besides 3000:1 static contrast.

The Optix MAG272QR features a stand that lets you adjust height, 90° rotation to portrait mode, ±75° swivel, and 5-20° tilt. Behind the monitor are RGB LED embellishments that you control with MSI Mystic Light RGB app, and can also configure as mood-light. Display inputs include USB-C (DisplayPort TMDS passthrough), standard DisplayPort 1.2a, and two HDMI 2.0b inputs; all of which support the monitor's full 1440p resolution. Using HDMI 2.0b caps the refresh-rate to 144 Hz. Available now, the Optix MAG272QR is priced at USD $350.
