Einarex is a young company that seems to put a lot of effort into building its reputation. Since we saw them this year at CES Las Vegas, we stopped at their Computex booth to see what they've created since then. It seems that aside from the Prisma, Pulse, and Zenith PC case series, they have quite a few more interesting items, such as new cases, air and liquid coolers, fans and even power supplies under the Nexus and Apex series.

The Snow is a spacious tower case with full front and side glass panels. If you prefer a more classic design you can take a look at the Rack series that features a grille-style front panel, a glass side panel and a large display at the bottom. The Prisma series received the SM501D—slightly less inspired naming than Snow—a case that offers a panoramic view in a more compact format. Pulse series received a surprisingly good-looking PM200 "Small Frame, Big Game" case with perforated panels all over. Of course, their booth had the shiny-reflective Prisma S800 and the elegant Pulse PM400 with its wooden grille front panel up on display as we already saw them in January.

Wooting, the Hall effect keyboard specialist, brought its latest generation of keyboards to Computex 2025. We begin our tour with the new Wooting 60HE v2, which as its name suggests, is the second generation of its 60% keyboard with Hall effect key switches. In charge of the job are the new Lekker Tikken medium key switches, with a friction-fit mounting style, sitting on the company's FR4 switch plate, and encased in an aluminium body. The keyboard comes in black, white, and bright silver colors, and its electronics support 8,000 Hz polling. The keyboard measures 305 mm x 115 mm x 28.08 mm, weighing 960 g. The Wooting 60HE v2 is expected to release in Q4 2025.

The company also showcased its selection of knobs. A knob in this context is a keycap replacement that holds the Hall effect key switch in a precise actuated position as it is turned up or down along threading. The Wooting Big Knob measures 4U in size (covers four key spaces), while the small one measures a single key space. Both are expected to release in Q1 2026. Lastly, Wooting also showcased their Wooting x Optimum keyset, and aluminium-magnesium alloy (AL5052) casing.

At Computex 2025, HAVN showcased its newest line of high-end case fans under the H-series. Features include a triple-groove fluid dynamic bearing in a metal alloy core; a harmonized impeller design that reduces the gap between the fan blade and the bore of the frame, to maximize axial airflow, frames as thick as 40 mm (for the 180 mm model), and impellers made from 30% fiberglass reinforced composite. There's even a male-to-female connection on the fan to help with cable management.

Next up, is the HAVN BF360, a premium ATX mid-tower case designed to minimize noise output while also balancing it with high airflow and a side window. The front of the case comes with vents for two large 180 mm intake fans hidden behind a dust filter. The drive bays have vibration dampening. The SSD and HDD mounts are detachable. The case includes a GPU bracket, and the 180 mm fans ensure positive internal air pressure. The area behind the motherboard tray is spacious, giving you ample room for cable management even with some of the thicker cables that are otherwise hard to bend.

EK Water Blocks showed us an exciting solution at their Computex 2025 booth, with the unveiling of its Quantum Surface Kinetics 240, an all-in-one liquid‐cooling kit that marries two 120 mm Quantum Surface radiators with the company's signature Quantum Kinetic pump-and-reservoir module. The dual‐radiator array leverages a thin, high‐density micro-fin design to allow for ample heat dissipation while remaining just 30 mm thick—ideal for cramped mid-tower builds or even ITX systems. At the heart of the loop sits EK's Quantum Kinetic DDC pump and reservoir combo, now showcased in a newly refined, transparent acrylic housing. The integrated fill port and machined aluminium top cap feature customizable RGB channels, while the visible coolant pathways highlight EK's precision flow engineering. EK has pegged the Quantum Surface Kinetics 240 at an MSRP of $360. While not being like a traditional AIO design, it will allow PC enthusiasts to get much more creative with their water-cooling setups and both and reduce the setup difficulty of custom loops.

Prior to AMD's official unveiling of the Radeon RX 9060 XT series, Sapphire's Computex booth teased a forthcoming lineup of custom graphics card options. Hours later, the TechPowerUp crew inspected freshly wall-mounted specimens. To the surprise of many, the Hong Kong-based manufacturer is readying a premium Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB NITRO+ SKU for launch time (on June 5). The usual suspects—in PULSE and PURE guises—were also exhibited within the walls of the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre. Not long after the closing of ceremonies, Sapphire China's JD.com store has opened up pre-orders for six launch day products.

Yesterday, a VideoCardz investigative piece delved into pre-release price points (including VAT). Keen potential customers can secure finalized retail units via a deposit system; demanding a 50 RMB (~$7 USD) upfront fee. Unsurprisingly, the largest tag is affixed to Sapphire's triple-fan 16 GB NITRO+ model—3299 RMB (~$458 USD). This top-tier option sits 800 RMB above Team Red's suggested guideline. The AIB's barebones dual-fan Radeon RX 9060 XT PULSE 8 GB package adheres to official MSRP: 2499 RMB (~$347 USD). Their PULSE 16 GB model sits almost in the middle of the lineup—in terms of pricing—at 2899 RMB (~$402 USD). VideoCardz believes that another PULSE color/finish variant will emerge, at some point post-launch—bringing the total number of items up to seven distinct products.
