Alphacool Shows New Cooling Products at Computex 2026, Including Xbox Series X/S Prototype Cooler
Alphacool brought plenty of new products to the Computex 2026 show floor, including a quite interesting Xbox Series X/S prototype AIO cooler based on the new DDC Zero pump, its new Apex Stealth Metal Aurora 140 mm that were announced earlier in March, Apex Grip Fittings, a whole new 1260 mm external cooling Core 1260 Pro and Apex Skeleton Radiator Box versions, the new Core GPU AIO coolers, and new Apex Monoblocks for various different motherboard manufacturers so it fits the design.

The biggest update is Alphacool’s new Core GPU AIO coolers, which are production-ready versions for NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards, following the same signature design of the Core series, providing a clean, functional, and performance-driven product. In terms of specifications, the new Core GPU AIO coolers will use two DC-LT pumps, combined with a 360 mm HPE-Radiator with performance fans.

In addition to the new Core GPU AIO coolers, Alphacool also showcased its new Apex Monoblocks for motherboards, with each design adapted to the actual motherboard, which means each will follow the motherboard’s design without compromising the performance. The block will cool the CPU, VRMs, and the first M.2 SSD slot next to the CPU socket. Alphacool showcased a couple of versions, including one for ASUS’ TUF Gaming X870-Plus WiFi motherboard, ASRock’s X870E Taichi motherboard, and MSI’s MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi AM5 motherboard.Alphacool also had a neat prototype AIO cooler that caught our attention, and this one was designed for the Xbox Series X/S console. It combines a reservoir, pump, and a full cover cooling unit for the console with an integrated DDC Zero pump and follows the design of Alphacool’s Apex series. While still a prototype, we would certainly love to see it become a reality, as it does not only look good but also provides exceptional performance as well.Alphacool brought several of its recently announced products as well, including Apex Stealth Metal 140 mm fans, which are also available in a 120 mm version, and black, white, or chrome versions, as well as its Apex Grip Fittings, which are the new modular fittings in the Alphacool Apex lineup that can be used with both hard and soft tubing. These are available in 13/10 and 16/10 sizes and with 45- and 90-degree adapters. The Apex Grip Fittings have high flow performance, optimized surface for better grip, and modular design. Alphacool also showcased its new Apex Distro Plate for Hyte Y70 and Phanteks NV9 MKII cases.Alphacool brought new external cooling products to the show as well, including the new Core Pro Radiatorbox and Apex Skeleton Radiatorbox. Both are radiator external setups that can be used next to the case or mounted on a wall, feature a 1260 mm radiator combined with nine 140 mm fans, and promise high cooling performance and flexible options for reservoirs and system integration. The Core version is still an engineering sample, but it appears that the Apex Skeleton 1260mm Radiatorbox will be coming to the market, and it will look as good as Alphacool’s Apex Pro Skeleton case.
