Cooler Master Unveils New Custom Water Cooling Hardware for Workstation PCs
Cooler Master has been on a roll at Computex 2026, showing off a host of new air cooling and case hardware, but the hardware company has also debuted some interesting water cooling options that it plans to both sell as standalone hardware and in new pre-built workstation PCs. The new cooling line-up consists of both a CPU and GPU water block designed for workstation CPUs and a 360 × 360 mm radiator that Cooler Master calls the 360² Radiator, with accompanying 180 mm fans. The new liquid cooling system is allegedly capable of cooling up to 2,000 W of thermal load. The new radiator and CPU water block come with new Y-shaped hoses, which disperse liquid through the radiator. The example Cooler Master had at Computex had hot water entering two inlets in the center of the radiator and two outlets on opposite ends of the same edge of the radiator. Alternatively, it looks as though the cooling can be routed so that the CPU and GPU inlets and outlets are on opposite sides of the radiator. The radiator was also mounted in a separate chamber behind the motherboard tray, which appears to be basically the only feasible option, given its size.

At Computex, Cooler Master showed off an early prototype of what it is calling the MasterWorkStation: Project MasterFrame 800, a pre-built PC built around its aluminium MasterFrame 800 PC case. The exact specs of the workstation PC are being kept under wraps, but it was clear to see that the PC contained four ASRock AMD Radeon AI Pro R9700 GPUs and what looks to be an ASRock WRX90 WS EVO DDR5 motherboard, which means it will support AMD’s latest Threadripper Pro 9000 and 7000 WX-series processors, up to eight DDR5 DIMMs, seven PCIe 5.0 ×16 expansion cards, SlimSAS SFF-8654 SSDs, and 10 Gb networking. ASRock is pitching the new MasterWorkStation workstations as a powerful option for everything from AI training to data processing, creative work, and general compute-heavy workloads. It remains to be seen when these workstations will launch or at what price point.
