Changes to Noctua’s roadmap. Hardware plan from January 2026

Cooling, Fans, News | | Michal Pavličko

The updated Noctua roadmap brings changes that will certainly not please fans of silent cooling and black aesthetics. The Chromax version of the NF-A12x25 G2 has been pushed back. Likewise, the compact PSU being developed in cooperation with Seasonic is shifting its arrival by another quarter. Fortunately, development of Noctua’s first AIO and the collaboration with Antec remain relatively stable, and the planned market entry is a positive signal. Read more “Changes to Noctua’s roadmap.

MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 360: High TDP, lighting and low price

Cooling, CPU coolers, Extra tests | | Ľubomír Samák

Tests of affordable AIO liquid coolers continue. The CoreLiquid A13 with a 360 mm radiator offers not only cooling performance but also ARGB LED fans with light-guiding impellers (so the lighting can be really striking…) and comes at an attractive price. Given its features, we can talk about a fairly low sum. For this “mix,” MSI’s cooler takes home our editorial award “Smart buy!”.

Now with RGB: Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 A-RGB and 420 A-RGB

Cooling, CPU coolers, News | | Ľubomír Samák

It didn’t take long. After the release of the “basic” variants of AIOs with 140 mm fans, Arctic is now launching illuminated models: the LF III Pro 280 A-RGB and LF III Pro 420 A-RGB. With these coolers, Arctic is also targeting users who place stronger emphasis on aesthetics and a more striking appearance. That’s what defines the “A-RGB” version of the Liquid Freezer III Pro—but it’s not just about looks. Cooling performance remains a priority.

Liquid Freezer III Pro with 140 mm fans now reality

Cooling, CPU coolers, News | | Ľubomír Samák

Arctic has broadened its lineup of Liquid Freezer III Pro coolers with two new additions featuring 280 mm and 420 mm radiators. These units now come with wider radiators, cooled by 140 mm fans—the familiar 7-blade P14 Pro models. The enhanced cooling efficiency is a definite upside, but there’s a caveat: you’ll need to check if your case can physically accommodate them. If compatibility isn’t an issue, you’re free to explore their potential. Read more “Liquid Freezer III Pro with 140 mm fans now reality” »

“Cooling” brand Valkyrie at Innovex 2025: Prices to go down

CPU coolers, Fans, PC cases, News | | Ľubomír Samák

You may know the Cypriot company operating under the name Valkyrie from our tests. We’ve reviewed several of their coolers and a fan. There’s little to criticize about the products themselves, but as they admit – prices need to come down. If that happens, many of their components, including PC cases, may suddenly start looking much more appealing. Valkyrie showcased exactly what’s on offer at the Taipei exhibition center.

DeepCool working with wood… integrated into coolers and cases

CPU coolers, News, PC cases | | Ľubomír Samák

It’s not “just” about metal components anymore. DeepCool is introducing wooden elements to its coolers and also PC cases. And DeepCool isn’t relying solely on looks – “Spartacus” is the name of a new line of liquid coolers aiming to push the limits of thermal performance. The high bar – perhaps even higher than before?– is also being set by the dual-tower Assassin VC Elite cooler. Read more “DeepCool working with wood… integrated into coolers and cases” »

New 120 mm Noctua Fans Coming in June. What About Coolers?

CPU coolers, Fans, News | | Ľubomír Samák

We spoke with a Noctua representative not only about their upcoming 120 mm fans, designed to surpass the performance of the older NF-A12x25 models, but also about their integration into CPU coolers. Yes, they’re coming. And why exactly do these fans use winglets on the blades? It’s also possible that sooner or later, we’ll see Noctua fans with a thicker profile. However, new single-tower coolers with 140 mm fans are now unlikely. Read more “New 120 mm Noctua Fans Coming in June. What About Coolers?” »

CPS PCCooler Aims to dominate the market Its name references

CPU coolers, News | | Ľubomír Samák

We’ve tested their coolers several times, and they’ve consistently ranked near the top. Yes, we’re talking about “PCCooler.” Behind this somewhat prosaic name lies a clear ambition from the Chinese company – to be the best. Even if that means producing heavier products than the competition. And yes, Computex had more cooling fins than HWCooling’s test lab usually sees.

Arctic releases Freezer 8. Shorter coolers for low-power CPUs

Cooling, CPU coolers, News | | Ľubomír Samák

Forget the Freezer 7 and turn your attention to the Freezer 8. It’s the successor to the cooler marked with the “legendary” seven. Sure, it’ll take a moment to get used to the new name, but that’s the way it is – Arctic is updating its low-end lineup, and if you’re looking for a budget tower cooler for entry-level CPUs, the Freezer 8 will be one of the options. And one that fits even smaller or narrower cases. These coolers are only 136 mm tall. Read more “Arctic releases Freezer 8. Shorter coolers for low-power CPUs” »
