Alphacool rolled out a packed lineup at Computex 2026, headlined by a prototype all‑in‑one cooler for the Xbox Series X/S. The unit tucks a DDC Zero pump, reservoir and full‑cover block into the console chassis, echoing the company’s Apex aesthetic. While still a sample, the design promises noticeable thermal gains for a beloved platform. If commercialized, it could extend console lifespan for enthusiasts.

The biggest headline, however, was the production‑ready Core GPU AIO coolers for Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 cards. Each unit pairs two DC‑LT pumps with a 360 mm HPE radiator and high‑static fans, delivering a clean, performance‑focused solution that mirrors Alphacool’s Core series aesthetics. These kits aim to tame the power draw of next‑gen GPUs. Such cooling could unlock higher boost clocks without throttling.

Alphacool also unveiled Apex‑branded accessories: 140 mm Stealth Metal fans in three finishes, modular Apex Grip fittings for hard or soft tubing, and the 1260 mm Core Pro and Apex Skeleton Radiatorbox external units that mount beside or on a wall. Motherboard‑specific Apex Monoblocks for ASUS, ASRock and MSI chips will cool CPUs, VRMs and adjacent M.2 drives, expanding the brand’s custom‑cooling ecosystem. The external Radiatorbox designs also target small‑form‑factor builds seeking premium cooling.
