  • DeltaMate CPU Block - MPII CPU Waterblocks

    Published: Thursday, July 2, 2026 | By: Dennis

    Thermal Grizzly is introducing the DeltaMate MPII series, a new line of premium water coolers for AMD and Intel processors. The version optimized for AMD’s AM5 socket is available now, and the Intel LGA1851 version will follow shortly. Both coolers are backwards compatible (the AM5 version with AM4, and the LGA1851 version with LGA1700). The design of the CPU water coolers is visually coordinated with other DeltaMate products, complementing them to form a stylistic ecosystem.

    DeltaMate-MPII-Series

    The premium CPU water blocks of the DeltaMate MPII series have been designed to the highest standards and are manufactured and assembled under strict quality controls. Only high-quality materials are used in production to meet the demands of hardware enthusiasts and set new industry standards:

    • The nickel-plated Ultra-High-Performance cold plate is milled from copper.
    • The solid nickel-plated housing with G1/4-inch ports is made of brass.
    • The viewing window is made of borosilicate glass, whose edges are sanded after cutting.

    Stylish RGB LED lighting highlights the elegant design of the water block when illumination is desired. The RGB LEDs can be controlled via a 3-pin ARGB header (+5V/DATA/GND) through the motherboard.

    DeltaMate CPU Block - MPII AM5 Black

    The Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate CPU Block - MPII AM5 Black is optimized for AMD’s AM5 socket. The cooler is also backward compatible with socket AM4. The hybrid structure on the nickel-plated copper cooling plate consists above the CCDs, meaning the Core Complex Dies with high heat output, of 25 microfins with a slot width and fin width of 0.2 mm each. This high number of thin fins provides a very large surface area on which the coolant can dissipate heat quickly and efficiently. In the upper area above the I/O die, 29 fins with a width of 0.4 mm are used for optimized flow distribution.

    The features of the DeltaMate CPU Block - MPII AM5 Black:

    • Ultra-High-Performance premium CPU water block for AMD socket AM5
    • Nickel-plated copper cooling plate with Ultra-High-Performance CCD microfins (0.2 mm)
    • Optimized flow distribution through I/O die microfins (0.4 mm)
    • Full-metal housing with an RGB-illuminated viewing window made of borosilicate glass
    • Particularly durable brass threaded inserts, including standard G1/4" ports
    • Included cover for optionally concealing all screws and the mounting system

    DeltaMate CPU Block - MPII Intel 1851 Black

    The Thermal Grizzly DeltaMate CPU Block - MPII Intel 1851 Black is optimized for Intel’s LGA1851 socket and is backward compatible with socket LGA1700. The microfins on the nickel-plated copper cooling plate are manufactured with a hybrid structure. Above the CPU tiles, the slot width and fin width of the 40 fins measure 0.2 mm each. This high number of thin fins provides a very large surface area on which the coolant can dissipate heat quickly and efficiently. Above and below the CPU tile area, a total of 30 fins with a width of 0.3 mm are used for optimized flow distribution.

    The features of the DeltaMate CPU Block - MPII Intel 1851 Black:

    • Ultra-High-Performance premium CPU water block for Intel socket LGA1851
    • Nickel-plated copper cooling plate with Ultra-High-Performance CCD microfins (0.2 mm)
    • Optimized flow distribution through CPU tile microfins (0.3 mm)
    • Full-metal housing with an RGB-illuminated viewing window made of borosilicate glass
    • Particularly durable brass threaded inserts, including standard G1/4" ports
    • Included cover for optionally concealing all screws and the mounting system

    Editor Note:  This CPU waterblock was CLEARLY designed by a car guy, specifically one who either drives a GTR or AUDI given the design similarities between the water channel and the various engine covers.  I guess we have finally run out of innovative designs. wink smile

  • Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi7 Plus @ TechPowerUp

    Published: Thursday, July 2, 2026 | By: Dennis

    Some would say that the Z890 was a failure, and from a performance and overclocking standpoint you would be right.  It still is a very strong platform for memory overclocking but, most gamers have migrated to the Ryzen platform for a better bang for their buck.

    I still believe in the Z890 and it pains me to say that many of the lower end motherboards are actually better than the unicorns and ultra high end that I love so much.

    The Gigabyte Z890 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi7 Plus is a budget-friendly motherboard for Intel's latest CPUs, priced under $300. It features PCIe Gen 5 support, no bandwidth sharing for smooth performance, tool-free M.2 heatsinks, and plenty of USB ports, making it a great choice for a high-performance build.

    The only thing you need to watch out for is onboard features and making sure they match your target build.

  • Noctua introduces NL-LC1 all-in-one liquid coolers

    Published: Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | By: Dennis

    Noctua today introduced its first all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. With first-class cooling performance, superb quietness of operation and industry-leading reliability, the new NL-LC1 series brings classic Noctua virtues to the world of closed-loop liquid cooling.

    “The performance headroom of liquid cooling has always been tempting to us, but we first had to make sure that acoustics and reliability met the strict standards that customers expect from a Noctua product,” said Roland Mossig, CEO of Noctua. “With the NL-LC1, we are proud to have achieved a level of thermal performance, acoustic refinement and dependability that sets a new standard.”

    The NL-LC1 series is based on Asetek’s renowned, premium-grade Emma V2 platform, which has established itself as a gold standard for both thermal efficiency and long-term dependability. What makes the NL-LC1 coolers unique is Noctua’s custom-engineered NL-PNA1 pump noise absorber: Leveraging a three-layer acoustic soundproofing structure and the tuned-mass damper effect, the NL-PNA1 reduces both air-borne noise and structure-borne vibrations, which can yield significant improvements in pump acoustics.

    For fine-tuning performance-to-noise characteristics, the NL-LC1 series pump integrates a mode switch that allows users to choose between three different pump speed profiles: While the pre-selected quiet mode guarantees that the pump will stay near-inaudible, the balanced mode provides extra performance headroom, and the manual mode gives users full control over the pump’s entire RPM range.

    Available in 240 (NL-LC1-24), 360 (NL-LC1-36) and 420mm (NL-LC1-42) form factors, the NL-LC1 coolers utilise Noctua’s award-winning NF-A12x25 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2 fans for cutting edge performance-to-noise efficiency. Working in tandem with the pump noise absorber, the G2 flagship fans are the second key factor to the NL-LC1 series’ unique capability of delivering first-rate thermals while running extremely quiet. To ensure a smooth, unobtrusive sound signature, the fans utilise a speed-offset to avoid undesirable harmonics phenomena such as periodic humming or vibration build-up due to beat frequencies.

    While the NL-PNA1 pump noise absorber comes with a magnetically attaching metal faceplate, users who require extra ventilation for VRMs, RAM modules, M.2 SSDs or other near-socket components have the option of replacing it with the NL-ACF1 auxiliary cooling fan that is available separately.

    Noctua’s proven SecuFirm2+™ mounting system not only enables easy installation, broad socket support and future upgradability, but also helps to improve thermal performance through optimised force transfer and offset mounting options.

    Topped off with the renowned NT-H2 thermal paste and Noctua’s usual 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NL-LC1 are a deluxe choice for customers who are looking for premium grade all-in-one liquid coolers that satisfy the highest demands in terms of performance, reliability and quietness of operation.

    Availability

    The NL-LC1 series coolers and the NL-ACF1 auxiliary fan are available as of today via Noctua’s official Amazon stores. Other sales partners will receive stock shortly.

    QUBE 340 Alternative - The QUBE 340 adds optional handles, vertical or horizontal orientation, flexible front I/O placement, and front accessory mounting support for users who want more modularity.

    For users who want more customization, Cooler Master will also offer the QUBE 340, a modular companion version built on the same core platform. The QUBE 340 adds optional handles, vertical or horizontal orientation, flexible front I/O placement, and front mounting support for compatible 3D-printable accessories. It brings the modular spirit of the QUBE family to the same compact mATX foundation, giving builders a more expressive alternative to the streamlined Q300L V3.

    Together, the Q300L V3 and QUBE 340 give builders two ways to approach the same improved compact case platform. The Q300L V3 offers a clean, accessible upgrade for mainstream mATX builds, while the QUBE 340 adds more flexibility for users who want a case that can adapt to their setup, space, and style.

    COMPUTEX 2026 PR 02


    CLIPPER PRO MINI 60 Hall Effect Gaming Keyboard

    Built for competitive gamers who rely on speed and responsiveness, the CLIPPER PRO MINI 60 packs advanced Hall Effect performance into a 60% layout that clears the desk for wide mouse sweeps and unrestricted movement. It brings together a new generation of Hall Effect features and the raw competitive speed of Rapid Trigger and FlashTap SOCD in a compact, portable build.

    The CLIPPER PRO MINI 60 excels at its small size due to the suite of Hall Effect switch features, giving users the full command range of a larger board.

    • Multi Action maps up to four distinct actions to a single key across its press and release travel, condensing multi-step combos or ability chains into one precise movement.
    • Tap Lock turns long-held actions like crouch or throttle into effortless toggles, keeping fingers free for faster inputs elsewhere.
    • Smart Tap assigns separate actions to a quick tap versus a held press on any key, making it straightforward to restore arrow keys, function shortcuts, or custom in-game binds to the compact layout without reaching for FN combinations.
    • CORSAIR MGX HYPERDRIVE CORE magnetic switches drive the powerful new features. As the first CORSAIR keyboard with these new switches, players will enjoy adjustable actuation from 0.2mm to 3.8mm with consistent performance across 100 million keystrokes. A square stem structure reduces wobble for crisper switch feel and more precise actuation.

    Speed and reaction time are key, and CORSAIR Rapid Trigger eliminates the fixed reset point found on standard mechanical keyboards. This enables the switch to re-actuate after as little as 0.1mm of upward travel, critical for rapid-fire taps, counter-strafing, or any situation where the gap between your last move and your next one needs to disappear. FlashTap SOCD handling puts you in control of how opposing directional inputs resolve, delivering clean, consistent movement for jiggle peeking, rapid turning, and the kind of mechanical precision competitive FPS games demand. This is all run on CORSAIR AXON 8,000Hz hyper-polling technology, registering inputs up to 8x faster than standard gaming keyboards.

    The CLIPPER PRO MINI 60 carries an IP57 rating* for water and dust resistance and dual-layer sound dampening for clean typing acoustics. Customize everything through CORSAIR Web Hub, a browser-based utility that requires no software installation. Adjust Hall Effect settings, map keys, build RGB profiles, download firmware updates, and save up to five onboard profiles through an intuitive interface. The included detachable USB-C cable supports play on PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation.

    CORSAIR is also bringing its advanced Hall Effect toolkit to the VANGUARD PRO 96 via a software update, expanding their latest performance innovations across their ever-growing magnetic keyboard lineup.

    *Recommended to wait a minimum of 72 hours after submerging before normal use. Drying time may vary depending on environmental conditions.

    Connect via 2.4GHz SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, Bluetooth®, or wired USB-C. Map buttons, set macros, adjust DPI, and control lighting through CORSAIR Web Hub with no software installation required.

    *Up to 170 hours of battery life via 2.4GHz with RGB off using 1kHz polling; up to 164 hours via Bluetooth® with RGB off.

    COMPUTEX 2026 PR 04


    HS35 v3 WIRELESS Gaming Headset

    The HS35 v3 WIRELESS Gaming Headset delivers immersive audio and broad platform support in one attractive package. Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio* on custom-tuned 50mm neodymium drivers pull you deeper into the game, adding directional depth to every sound so footsteps, gunshots, and environmental cues land exactly where they should.

    Users can connect via 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth®, or the included wired cable for use on PC, Mac, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, mobile, and more. The ability to switch between connections and platforms without interrupting audio, means the same headset handles ranked sessions on PC, couch play on console, or mobile gaming on the train, all on a 30hr battery life.

    A redesigned adjustable floating headband and breathable soft fabric earcups keep the headset comfortable through long play sessions. At 250g, it stays light enough to wear all day without fatigue or overheating. Up to 30 hours of battery life at 50% volume keep players and their ears in the game. The detachable omnidirectional microphone provides crisp comms, and convenient, earcup-mounted volume and mic mute controls keep players focused on their gameplay.

    *Dolby Atmos® available on PC only. Requires Dolby Access app.

    COMPUTEX 2026 PR 05


    HS35 v3 Gaming Headset

    The HS35 v3 Gaming Headset brings the same custom-tuned 50mm neodymium drivers and redesigned comfort of the wireless model through a universal 3.5mm wired connection. Plug into any PC, Mac, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, or mobile device and get immersive audio immediately, with no setup required.

    The adjustable floating headband and soft fabric earcups deliver the same long-session comfort as the wireless version, but with an even lighter 230g weight. An omnidirectional boom microphone enables clear communication, with earcup-mounted controls for volume and mic mute. The HS35 v3 is built for players who want quality audio and wide platform support in a straightforward, always-ready package.

    AI Technology Solution: Advancing AI-Grade Gen5 Controller and Intelligent Scheduling Technologies

    At the center of AI Storage Core is Lexar’s integrated hardware-software solution along with parent company Longsys’ self-developed Gen5 controller SPU (Storage Processing Unit) and Intelligent Scheduling technologies.

    Built on an advanced 5nm process with a DRAM-less architecture, the SPU is designed to improve supply stability while maintaining high-performance AI storage capabilities in today’s constrained DRAM environment.

    Lexar’s Intelligent Scheduling engine is specifically designed to optimize edge AI inference. It addresses challenges that can hinder inference performance such as large Multi-Objective Models (MoE), substantial parameter sizes, rapidly growing Key-Value (KV) Cache, and I/O latency. By employing intelligent workload scheduling, predictive prefetch algorithms, and optimized cache management, the platform significantly enhances AI storage efficiency. Additionally, it reduces the required DRAM capacity by approximately 40%.

    Together, chip hardware and Intelligent Scheduling allow storage to play a more active role in local AI performance, rather than simply serving as a place to store data.
