Besides what BeQuiet! is best known for—PC components that go inside a case—the company also offers other PC hardware. The kind that connects to a computer (including laptops, of course), such as keyboards and mice. We also learned that anything producing sound is not currently on the horizon. So if you’re looking for an audio headset, you’ll have to turn elsewhere. More on that in this short report from Computex 2026. Read more “BeQuiet! also showcased keyboards and mice. Headsets not coming”
Our Computex 2026 coverage continues with a visit to another of the four major manufacturers of mobos, but also graphics cards, cases, PSUs, peripherals, and more these days: MSI, who is also celebrating an anniversary at this year’s show—the company was founded in 1986. Their display, however, wasn’t actually all that much about looking back. Instead, there were plenty of new and interesting products to see, including in cooling technology.

ID-Cooling showcased a range of new products across its portfolio at Computex 2026. In addition to expanding its existing product offering, the company’s presentation also marked its entry into new segments, namely PC cases and power supplies. The exhibition therefore covered virtually all major product categories, ranging from fans and cooling solutions to cases and PSUs. Read more “ID-Cooling at Computex 2026: Also New Cases and PSUs”
The Computex tradeshow this year seems to involve various anniversaries for many companies. In the case of Asus, the company is celebrating 20 years of its “premium” gaming brand, ROG. We visited the booth Asus has at the trade show as well and will show you some of the new hardware the company brought to its booth—because of this anniversary, much of it is quite extraordinary and forms a celebratory lineup called ROG Edition 20.

Among the many manufacturers showcasing their latest developments at Computex, there is one booth that simply cannot be skipped. The Austrian cooling specialist came to this year’s show with an impressive lineup. Athena’s owl has spread its wings through a broader product portfolio and a number of new partnerships. In addition to products already known from published roadmaps, Noctua also unveiled several unexpected surprises. Read more “Austrian owl spreads its wings—surprise reveals”
In cooperation with DeepCool, we have prepared a cyclical activity for this year, which may be of interest to HWCooling readers. We’ll post a detail of some piece of hardware and you can guess what it is. You can compete (and eventually win something) on a regular basis, with a new challenge every month. But for now, you need to get “to the next round” through the next one, in June. Read more “DeepCool Riddle (6/2026). Can you guess what’s in the photo?”

Oh look, it’s the Fuma 4! And there were more coolers and fans, which Scythe focuses on, at their Computex 2026 booth. Including a 360 mm liquid cooler. The company has historically paid relatively little attention to this category, but that is now changing. We also asked about Scythe’s return to the European market and the future direction of their cooler designs. We really do have plenty of material.

This year, we once again have a colleague at the Taiwanese trade show Computex 2026, so we can show you some of the exhibits on display at the most important computer expo of the year. First up is a visit to Gigabyte’s showcase. At Computex, the company is once again displaying everything imaginable: laptops, monitors, stylish wooden and cute anime-themed component designs, and of course PC hardware—new graphics cards and motherboards.

At Computex 2026, we learned what BeQuiet! has in preparation. And there is really quite a lot—besides new coolers, there were also new cases on display, and we also have some details about new fans. And actually about old ones too, at least regarding product lines that will no longer be further developed. In the first of two articles, we will first focus exclusively on BeQuiet! PC components, including power supplies. Read more “BeQuiet! news: Dark Rock 6 (Pro) and expect Silent Wings 5”
Although Computex takes place elsewhere, the occasion led our “editorial footsteps” to Cooler Master’s main building, where the larger, non-portable things are also located. We documented a lot—besides nearly two hundred photographs, you also have access to a long audio recording that you can listen to, for example, during a longer trip from somewhere to somewhere. The goal is to make sure you don’t miss any of the information we managed to obtain. Read more “Plans straight from the brain: We visited Cooler Master HQ”
It’s been six years since Intel came up with ATX12VO PSUs as and alternative to ATX power supplies, replacing PC’s multiple voltage rails with a single 12V rail (hence the name: “12V Only”) to improve energy efficiency. So far, it hasn’t gained much traction. Intel is now introducing a new “v3” version, which brings deeper changes. They’re quite interesting and could justify a transition, but there’s also one big caveat. Read more “ATX12VO v3: Better ATX PSU successor, but with melting cable risk?”

We previously covered information about Intel’s future Razor Lake processors, expected to launch as the Core Ultra 500 generation likely at the end of 2027 (that is, after the upcoming Nova Lake generation). Moore’s Law is Dead, who leaked those details, also revealed information about the following generations—Titan Lake and Hammer Lake. These are even further out, but they will introduce a long‑awaited, radical architectural shift. Read more “Intel Titan Lake, Hammer Lake CPUs detailed: Unified Core and HT”
They’re built on an exceptionally efficient aerodynamic design, but come at a lower price point. Using more flexible blades reduces manufacturing costs, and the bearings in the Dynamic 3 fans are also “simpler” compared to the Momentum series. For the user, this doesn’t necessarily mean any major drawback—on the contrary, you can look forward to more pronounced lighting, enabled in part by a larger area of light‑conducting material.

It’s been nearly two years since AMD’s Zen 5 architecture launched (in late July and early August 2024) and time is ripe for a successor—especially given how far competitors such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite and Apple’s M5 have advanced in the meantime. AMD’s answer in the form of the Zen 6 architecture is now finally getting closer—the company has announced the ramp up of production, which could signal a launch later this year.
