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 April. Read more “DeepCool Riddle (4/2026). Can you guess what’s in the photo?”

Launching outreach to schools for HWCooling Techtour ’26
Last year’s edition (HWCooling Techtour ’25) revealed many things, and we will work with that experience. Whatever can be technically improved will be. Especially regarding the live stream that you could watch. It certainly wasn’t something we were satisfied with, but we know where the “holes” are and we will do everything in our power to make the result as useful as possible for schools and at a more attractive level than before.

Join the HWCooling team! We’re looking for a news report writer
Fans, coolers, cases. These are the primary topics for which we’re looking for someone active—someone who follows the news and enjoys informing others about it in a punchy yet information-rich way.

DeepCool Riddle (1/2026). Can you guess what’s in the photo?
Regular, monthly riddles will continue into 2026 as well. This time connected with the DeepCool brand.

And as with the others, the most successful solvers will be rewarded. Read more “DeepCool Riddle (1/2026). Can you guess what’s in the photo?”
480 schools? A challenge HWCooling Techtour ’26 will face
Efforts around the HWCooling Techtour conferences will continue to be developed and expanded. Last year also revealed a number of shortcomings, for which we will prepare better and multiply our usefulness across more schools. We consider this cooperation with schools—where mutual enrichment through knowledge takes place—to be a major commitment and responsibility, and everything will be approached accordingly.

A look ahead, or a small forecast for 2026
This year (2026) will be a “cooling” one in terms of activities on the website. That means a broader focus (than so far) on cooling-related topics, especially fan testing. That is our plan, and you will see the reality for yourselves. In addition, there is HWCooling Techtour ’26—conferences at secondary schools, which represent a major responsibility and commitment going forward as well. What is not on our roadmap? Idleness.

Schools also received (MSI) GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards
In cooperation with Nvidia, MSI, and Datacomp, it was possible to donate several GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards to schools. This was for educational purposes, so it is possible to show what “it” looks like physically. Well, like this: on a printed circuit board populated with various components there is a cooler made of heatpipes and fins, from which fans remove heat. And a graphics card also has display outputs, from which cables lead to a monitor. Read more “Schools also received (MSI) GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards”
We know the most successful solvers of the BeQuiet! Riddles
A year-long effort is behind you. Each month, you pondered which BeQuiet! product was hidden in the (photo) detail in the header. We are pleased with the truly high participation, although the evaluation was by no means simple. What mattered was not only correct answers, but also when they were submitted. The podium spots were taken by the fastest participants who did not make a single mistake. Read more “We know the most successful solvers of the BeQuiet! Riddles”
Posters with PC hardware on classroom walls
A small documentation of large hardware posters. Those that we produced for schools to make teaching technical subjects easier. Schools have hung these displays in their classrooms where they will be useful, or rather, in efficient, easily accessible locations. To give a better idea of what it looks like, we present a short… photo report. Well, let’s call it that. But the gallery is truly very nice, what do you say?
