Computex 2025: The eTeknix team is here at Computex 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan, bringing you coverage of the latest, greatest, and next-generation of PC hardware, components, gaming tech, and much more! While we’re currently on the show floor taking many pictures and having meetings, we will endeavour to update our live gallery throughout the day, which you can check out here!
Best of Computex 2025
Wow, there were a lot of amazing coolers at Computex, and while I compiled many of my favourites, I felt it was just too darn many for this roundup and had to trim it back a bit! It was definitely the year of interesting, cooler design, but that’s no bad thing, especially if you like a great-looking cooler in your PC.
There’s one that actually not that well designed, and that’s the Noctua liquid coolers. It’s one of the least interesting pump designs, a black radiator, and some Noctua fans… but that’s because Noctua are a performance first company, and this thing is built to an extremely high standard, built for silence, and ultimate cooling performance; which we love.
Then we have these new fans from HAVN. The 120mm and 140mm versions are 30mm thick, and the 180mm is a whopping 180mm thick. They are huge, they are incredibly powerful, and built for high-pressure airflow and low noise levels. Easily some of the best and cleanest-looking fans of the show.
VALKYRIE are one of my favourite cooling brands, as they bring affordability to high-end performance and design. This is a simple dual-tower air cooler, but it’s super clean, stylish and nice and compact, despite its big cooling performance.
ID-Cooling lost the plot with their new thermal pastes, as they’re scented. What’s even funnier is that they have six different smells to choose from, and while they’re still high-performance pastes, which we will test in the near future, they’re just too funny not to appreciate at the show; and yes, they smell good.
Then we have the DeepCool SPARTACUS, which is the bigger LCD AIO from DeepCool, with more robust build quality, higher cooling performance, and more customisation than even. If these are better than their previous generation, then they should be something very special!
SUDOKOO may be a new brand, but they’ve come out swinging with some exceptional-looking products here at Computex, with their SK620V air cooler offering a super slick and modern design. It features a dual fan design but can be run in a single fan design if you don’t need that much airflow. It comes with enclosed sides and a digital top cover for system readouts.
We’ve seen some strange coolers, but the CYCLONE graphics card from MSI gets an honourable mention. This is inspired by the old-school coolers MSI used to produce, with lots of exposed copper, and a massive heatsink, with a single fan and LCD in the middle, it’s unlike anything else at the show this year.
BitsPower also did things differently, with their CPU water block actually passing liquid through four small pipes that go through the screw holes on the motherboard to a rear chamber. They say the four small pipes equal the same flow rate as the single regular pipe; it’s a bold move, but we like this one a lot.
Thermaltake also had some cool LCD-equipped fans, with an animation that was running from one fan to the other, this is just too cool, and with their matching CPU cooler, the customisation options are pretty endless with this. They leaned into the “Minecraft” themed branding heavily, albeit it doesn’t appear to be an official collaboration, just inspired by.
And finally, we have Antec, who took a premium AIO cooler, took a massive LCD panel, and mounted it together with a ball joint. What’s really tick is that there are no cables to the display, as they pass through the ball joint and stay hidden. You turn the top of the housing of the pump like a wheel to loosen the display, move it, tighten it back up, and you can point the screen where ever you like!
