Thermaltake Unveils New Water Cooling Kits, Gaming Mouse & Fan At Computex

Computex just wouldn’t feel like Computex without Thermaltake gracing the Nangang exhibition center with a huge booth, so fortunately, the company showed up to this one, and with a number of sweet products for us to check out.

The product I have to start with might not even be a product, per se, but rather something that’s based on Thermaltake’s other products, such as the Core line of chassis. The company teamed up with Mathieu Heredia of WaterMOD France to deliver a build that’s downright jaw-dropping. Behold, “The Tower”:

Is it just me, or is that one of the most beautiful PCs ever? The contrast between the pink and blue liquid complements the overall white aesthetic so well. While the size of the chassis and dual color liquid might make it look like this is a dual-CPU build, it’s just a lowly single-CPU rig, but with dual GPUs.

At the left side of the build, the pink liquid cools the graphics cards, while at the right, the CPU is cooled with the blue. I can’t imagine the inside of this beast gets too hot, but there’s a single 120mm fan up top to exhaust whatever warm air is in here.

Of course, what adds to the allure of this build is that the Core chassis has built-in controls to control (go figure!) any and all fans, and I’d assume pump speeds, as well.

Oy, this thing is a beaut, but let’s get onto more normal products, shall we?

Also at the show, Thermaltake announced a new gaming mouse it calls VENTUS Z. It sports an Avago ADNS 9500 laser sensor that can push up to 11,000 DPI, and the mouse is coated with a material that promises to give the right amount of grip. Tt says that the mouse will feel like a mixture of plastic and rubber, which could be “just right” for a lot of people.

We were not provided an image that shows the back of the mouse, but in the shot above, you can see just a pinch of the honeycomb-shaped design for air to pass through on the palm rest. There’s no fan inside of this, so the only air to travel through will be passive, but for those who sweat a lot while gaming, this could still prove to be a very useful design.

Do you know what I’m a fan of? Puns! Apart from that, I also quite like the new Riing 12 LED RGB Radiator Fan TT Premium Edition, even though its name is barely descriptive. This fan includes an LED that can circulate between 256 different colors, and can be paired with a digital hub and Windows software that will allow you to control one or 48 of these air-pushers.

The software is really where this fan series shines, as users will be able to easily push their fans harder or quiet them down with a simple click of the mouse. That’s especially important as we head into the summer months, where many are willing to put up with extra noise in order to bring their PC temperatures down. Thermaltake says that these new fans will be available before the end of the current quarter.

Last, but not least, Thermaltake also took advantage of Computex to release a couple of new all-inclusive water-cooling kits, with a triple-sized radiator and three of the Riing fans mentioned above included.

While most of the planet would opt for an all-in-one design for their liquid-cooling needs, there is no denying that those don’t look nearly as sharp as a proper DIY build. It’s for that reason that it’s great to see Thermaltake continue to develop these kits, as they give folks who don’t want to put a ton of time into the research of an entire kit (*raises hand*) but still want the look (and possible benefits) of a proper water-cooled setup.

While red liquid is seen in the shot above, Thermaltake offers six other colors to choose from: blue, green, orange, purple, yellow, and white. The company hasn’t announced a release date for its new kits, but considering the fact that they can include the new Riing fans, which come out by the end of June, these kits will likely follow suit.
