Semiconductor engineers everywhere are clutching their lint-free jumpsuits in horror as Elon Musk has announced his latest disruption: the "dirty fab," a chip lab so chill in its standards that you could smoke and eat a double fat cheeseburger inside.
Elon - “I think they’re getting clean rooms wrong in these modern (chip) fabs. I’m going Following the launch of its Panorama series last year, Tryx has made a mark on the PC hardware market. At CES 2026, the brand is expanding its lineup to new segments with a trio of products that push the limits of how much screen real estate you can realistically fit inside a chassis. Headlining the launch is the Stage 360 AIO, a liquid cooler that ditches the single-panel approach for a unique “spliced” dual-display setup. Alongside the AIO comes a “lifestyle” chassis with a cross-flow fan design and the company’s first high-end CPU cooler, the Turris 620.
The Stage 360 liquid cooler offers an upgrade over typical LCD-on-pump systems. Rather than a single large screen, Tryx has integrated two 4.0-inch IPS displays onto an aluminium pump base, “spliced” together to create a continuous visual stage. With a pixel density of 254 PPI and a 720×720 resolution per panel, the visual fidelity is high enough to display detailed animations or even support small physical figurines placed on the base. Configuration is handled through the company’s Kanali software. Under the hood, the unit relies on 8th-gen Asetek technology and triple Rota SL ARGB fans to handle a rated TDP of 280W.
Moving to the chassis, the Flova F50 mid-tower was designed to blend a PC case with home aesthetics. The case features ventilated fabric-finished panels available in black, white or pink. However, the real innovation is the proprietary Tryx Cross-Flow (TCF) fan. Unlike traditional axial fans that push air in a straight line, the TCF is a side-mounted drum-style fan that creates a 90-degree airflow channel. This uniform wall of air is intended to eliminate dead spots over the motherboard and GPU while operating at an ultra-quiet 20 dBA. The case is also modern in its compatibility, offering full support for back-connect motherboards like Asus BTF and MSI Project Zero.
For those who prefer air cooling but still want the “screen-on-everything” aesthetic, the Turris 620 aims to deliver. This dual-tower heatsink features a massive 5.0-inch ultra-wide HD IPS display that is magnetically mounted to the top. The cooler uses a six-heatpipe configuration and a nickel-plated micro-convex base, and it can tame CPUs up to 280W. Installation is simplified through a rail system for the Rota fans, allowing them to be snapped into place without the usual struggle of wire clips.
The Stage 360 is expected to hit European shelves in February 2026 for £199.99/€229.99. The Flova F50 will arrive around the same time, starting at £129.99/€144.99, while the Turris 620 is slated for a March release with pricing to be confirmed closer to launch.
KitGuru says: The engineering behind the Flova F50's cross-flow fan is legitimately interesting. If that TCF fan can actually deliver on its promise of silent, uniform cooling, Tryx might have more than just coolers with big displays on its hands.

Joining the line-up in 2026 is the PS5’s new Hyperpop Collection – featuring bright and colourful face plates and DualSense controllers.
Making the announcement via the PlayStation Blog, the VP of global marketing at SIE Isabelle Tomatis officially unveiled the Hyperpop Collection: Featuring three new striking designs for DualSense wireless controllers and PS5 console covers.”
With a shiny/glossy finish complimented by a mix of bright colours transitioning into black, the Hyperpop collection is perhaps one of the PS5’s best-looking after-market accessories yet – second only to their ‘Chroma’ series.
The PS5 Hyperpop Collection is available in 3 colours (Techno Red, Remix Green, Rhythm Blue) and will be pre-orderable from the 16th of January – with shipping commencing from the 12th of March.
Additional details on the new console covers and DualSense controllers can be found HERE.

Aimed at the competitive gaming market, this 27‑inch Rapid IPS display pairs a native WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution with a 360Hz refresh rate. While high‑refresh displays are increasingly common in the competitive scene, the MPG 272QRF X36 distinguishes itself by finally unifying variable refresh rate (VRR) and backlight strobing without the traditional compromises of flickering or screen tearing
Nvidia’s G‑Sync Pulsar technology is what makes this possible. Historically, gamers had to choose between the stutter‑free experience of G‑Sync and the superior motion clarity of backlight strobing (ULMB). Pulsar eliminates this by using variable‑frequency backlight strobing to synchronise with the GPU’s fluctuating frame rate. By dividing the backlight into multiple horizontal sections and utilising a “rolling scan” technique, the monitor pulses the backlight for only 25% of each frame duration. This ensures pixels have time to stabilise before they are illuminated, resulting in what Nvidia claims is a fourfold improvement in motion clarity (240 FPS has the motion clarity of 960Hz).
Beyond raw speed, the MPG 272QRF X36 integrates several quality‑of‑life features for varying environments. The G‑Sync Ambient Adaptive system utilises an on‑board light sensor to monitor the user’s surroundings, automatically adjusting brightness and colour temperature to maintain optimal contrast while reducing eye strain. Competitive players who still prefer lower resolutions for performance reasons will also find value in the 25″ Mode simulation. This feature provides pixel‑perfect scaling for resolutions such as 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 960, allowing players to use a smaller windowed area with reduced interpolation artefacts or blur.
The monitor uses a Rapid IPS panel with 10‑bit colour support (8‑bit + FRC) and a peak brightness rating of 500 nits. Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4a input. The display also supports user‑updatable firmware directly from Nvidia, allowing the G‑Sync module to receive performance optimisations post‑purchase. The MPG 272QRF X36 is priced at $649.99.
KitGuru says: Nvidia's G-Sync Pulsar is very promising. However, considering you're getting a 27-inch IPS panel when you could get a 27/32-inch 4K OLED monitor for the same price, potential buyers will have to evaluate if they really value motion clarity that much.

Though yet to be officially confirmed, insiders have claimed that not only is Fallout 3 set to get a remaster, but the much-loved New Vegas too.
As claimed by known Xbox insider Jez Corden via Windows Central, “we are eventually getting a Fallout 3 remake in the vein of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.”
This far from surprising given both the success of Oblivion Remastered and the fact that a Fallout 3 remaster was leaked by Microsoft themselves back in 2023. What is more interesting however is that according to Corden the much-loved Fallout: New Vegas is also set to receive a similar treatment.
While Fallout 3 has plenty of fans, New Vegas in particular has come to be known as one of the best RPGs of all time and so it getting a remaster in particular would be exciting indeed.
That said, while the Oblivion remaster was received warmly, it suffers from plenty of performance issues owing in part to its Unreal Engine 5 layer. Assuming Fallout 3 and New Vegas will be handled in the same way, here’s to hoping that more time is dedicated to making the experience a smooth one – though this might be asking too much from Bethesda.
KitGuru says: What do you think of this latest claim? Which of the two games would you want to see remastered first? What were your overall thoughts on Oblivion Remastered? Let us know down below.
The post Fallout: New Vegas remaster reportedly in the works alongside Fallout 3 first appeared on KitGuru.At CES this week, we stopped by to visit US PC maker, Digital Storm. At their booth, we got a look at the new Vector and Aventum 5 systems, each taking a different approach to high-end computing.
The Digital Storm Vector is designed as a slimmer, more compact alternative to traditional ATX towers, fitting high‑end components into a chassis just 4 inches wide. It emphasises performance density, managing heat, airflow and acoustics within a constrained volume while still supporting powerful CPUs and modern GPUs. In its top configurations, the Vector can be equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell GPU paired with either an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X or an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor.
The Aventum 5 is Digital Storm’s latest fully liquid‑cooled desktop, redesigned to prioritise radiator capacity, airflow routing and serviceability for long‑duration CPU and GPU workloads. The system is built to keep next‑generation CPUs and RTX 6000‑class GPUs operating at boost clocks for extended periods without throttling. A large display is integrated directly into the chassis, providing real‑time system monitoring stats such as temperatures, clock speeds, utilisation and cooling performance without relying on overlays or additional monitors.
Both the Vector and Aventum 5 PCs will be available with a wide range of configuration options, including the latest desktop platforms from AMD and Intel, NVIDIA GPUs up to the RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell, large memory capacities, fast NVMe storage and high‑end power supplies. The Aventum 5 is expected to start at around $3,000 USD. Meanwhile, the Vector will start at approximately $2,000 USD. Both are expected to be available to order through Digital Storm starting in Q2.
KitGuru Says: These aren't so much gaming PCs but rather AI development powerhouses.
The post CES 2026: Digital Storm debuts new prebuilt PCs with RTX Pro Blackwell graphics first appeared on KitGuru.CyberPowerPC is well known for its pre-built gaming PCs in both the US and the UK. This year at CES, the company is showcasing something for the DIY market – a new PC case designed in-house, built around a minimalist design that hides most structural and cooling elements while keeping key components on display. It is also one of the first DIY PC cases on the market to use woven steel mesh rather than standard mesh panels, heavily reducing noise resonance while maintaining strong airflow channels.
You can get a good look at the CyberPowerPC MA-01 chassis in the video and gallery above, but for those who would prefer to read, you can find a full breakdown of this chassis below based on the details shared so far.
One of the standout features of the MA-01 is the use of woven steel mesh, a first of its kind in the PC case market. The mesh varies in porosity and depth to reduce high‑frequency resonance, lowering exhaust noise by up to 30% while maintaining airflow. The MA‑01 also conceals fans, radiators and lighting behind sculpted internal covers, with all illumination engineered to shine indirectly through vent slits and adjacent surfaces to create a soft ambient glow rather than visible LED hotspots.
Other design elements include angled vent covers that guide intake air directly onto heat‑critical components, precision‑moulded I/O shrouds that absorb side impacts and reduce insertion wear, and support for both standard ATX and back‑connect BTF‑style motherboards. The chassis also uses two curved glass panels that meet without a corner pillar, providing an unobstructed view of the GPU, CPU cooler and memory. Analog RGB dials offer software‑free control across the full 16.7‑million‑colour spectrum, with secondary push functions for colour jumping, effect modes and brightness.
The MA‑01 measures in at 460 x 235 x 498mm and has the space for seven expansion slots, two 3.5-inch drive bays, one 2.5-inch drive bay, up to ten 120mm fans and support for 360mm or 240mm liquid cooling radiators in the front and top. Component clearances include 420mm for GPUs, 185mm for CPU coolers and 200mm for power supplies.
CyberPowerPC will offer the MA‑01 in Satin Dark Silver, Satin Matte Off White and Satin Matte Steel Gray colour options. The Chrome Steel version will launch at $149.99, while the Stainless Steel model will be priced at $249.99, with availability expected in early Q2 2026.
KitGuru Says: We'll be looking forward to getting our hands on this for a review in the future. What do you think of this new case from CyberPower? Would you like to build in one of these?

After coming to a revised royalty rate agreement with the U.S. government, NVIDIA has orders from China for more than 2 million H200 AI chips at around $27,000 each, but will only ship the orders if they are paid in full upfront, Reuters reports. Citing two people who have purportedly been briefed on the matter, the outlet says NVIDIA's requirement At CES this week Kioxia is launching its BG7 series SSDs at CES 2026, marking the first client‑focused drives to use the company’s eighth‑generation BiCS Flash paired with its new CMOS‑Bonded‑to‑Array (CBA) architecture. The update targets thin‑and‑light notebooks, compact desktops and OEM systems, promising stronger performance and improved power efficiency over the previous BG6 generation.
The move to BiCS Flash Gen 8 brings a notable uplift in throughput. Kioxia rates the BG7 for up to 7,000MB/s sequential reads and as much as 1,000,000 IOPS in random workloads, translating to roughly a 10% improvement in random performance and around 16% in sequential reads compared to BG6. Power efficiency sees the biggest generational jump with sequential‑write efficiency up by approximately 67%. This improvement is achieved through a combination of CBA‑enhanced memory cells, refined control circuitry and an updated SSD controller.
The BG7 series also expands the physical formats available. Alongside the familiar M.2 2230 and 2280 options, Kioxia is adding a new M.2 2242 model to support a wider range of OEM designs and space‑constrained systems. NVMe 2.0d support has been introduced as well, giving system builders finer control over power states and device behaviour.
As with previous entries in the BG line, the BG7 remains a DRAM‑less design, relying on Host Memory Buffer (HMB) to keep costs down while maintaining responsiveness. Capacities span 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB, and the drives connect over PCIe 4.0. Security‑conscious deployments can opt for models supporting TCG Opal 2.01 self‑encrypting drive functionality.
KitGuru Says: With DRAM being in short supply for consumer-oriented products at the moment, DRAM-less SSDs should become more prominent across the consumer market.

After taking a break from the series to work on Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, the team behind the two mainline modern Wolfenstein titles – Machine Games – are reportedly developing a proper 3rd entry.
First reported by known Xbox leaker Jez Corden in a piece discussing the future of Xbox in 2026 and beyond, the insider claimed to have “heard that Wolfenstein III is also on the cards to coincide with the upcoming Wolfenstein Amazon TV show.”
Though far from definitive at the time, the publication Kotaku have since corroborated the claim, stating that they “can confirm it’s true from our own sources.”
Given that the team only recently released Indiana Jones and The Great Circle back in late 2024 (and have worked on various ports and updates since), don’t expect Wolfenstein 3 to arrive any time soon.
That said, back in October the team at Machine Games did tease that work on their next project had officially begun, and so it’s possible we could get an early initial announcement in the not-too-distant future. We will have to wait and see.

Thermaltake’s View 370 TG ARGB is a mid‑tower chassis built around panoramic presentation, using a four‑piece tempered‑glass layout that wraps across the front and side for full component visibility. It supports Mini‑ITX to ATX boards, including hidden‑connector designs from ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte, and offers room for up to ten 120mm fans and 360mm radiators, with two ARGB fans pre‑installed. The case also supports vertical GPU mounting and an optional 6‑inch LCD panel on the PSU shroud for system stats or custom graphics via TT RGB Plus 3.0. Front I/O includes USB‑C, dual USB‑A, and HD audio, while removable dust filters cover the major intake points for easier upkeep.
Next up we have the new Retro Series, which brings 90s workstation styling to modern hardware. Starting with the compact Retro 260 TG mATX chassis, despite its old-school look this case supports hidden‑connector motherboards, up to nine 120mm fans, a 280mm top radiator, and the company’s optional 6‑inch LCD display. The larger Retro 360 TG scales the design to a mid‑tower with ATX support, room for twelve 120mm fans, dual 360mm radiator mounts, and updated front I/O including USB‑C. Rounding out the lineup is the Retro Ultra ARGB Sync AIO cooler, which will be available in 240mm and 360mm sizes and features a CRT‑inspired 3.6‑inch LCD display on the CPU block.
Thermaltake is also expanding its sim‑racing portfolio at CES with three new cockpits and updated peripherals. The flagship GR900 uses an anodised aluminium profile frame with extensive adjustability and support for single or triple displays and can be paired with motion systems for full professional‑grade feedback. The GR700 offers a more accessible tubular‑steel design with support for belt‑ and direct‑drive wheels, an integrated monitor mount, and optional 3DOF motion for added immersion. For karting fans, the GK500 delivers an authentic low‑slung posture with adjustable seating, steering and pedals for both children and adults. Aside from the new cockpits, Thermaltake also has new wheel and pedal sets coming out, including the XRW G1 steering wheel with a five‑inch touchscreen, RGB indicators, Hall‑effect paddles and CNC‑machined construction, plus the XRP L1 load‑cell pedal set built around a 200kg sensor, adjustable pedal mechanics and high‑resolution Hall sensors for precise braking control.
On the power supply front Thermaltake has something quite innovative on show. The Golden Track Series offers a new modular approach to power supplies, launching in 750W, 850W, 1000W and 1200W models, built around a new gold‑finger connector that links the power‑supply body to a fixed rear backplane. Instead of unplugging cables or re‑routing wiring, users can swap the PSU module itself for a higher‑wattage unit while leaving the interface and all cabling in place.
Last on our list we have two design‑focused updates: Transformative Teal, a new blue‑green colourway being applied across several existing chassis, and the TR100 Koralie Edition, a limited‑run artistic re‑skin of the company’s compact Mini‑ITX case. Transformative Teal is positioned as a calming, sustainability‑inspired shade that will appear on refreshed versions of The Tower 600, View 390 Air and View 600 TG, while the TR100 Koralie Edition adds a deep blue finish and geometric motifs created with French artist Koralie Carmen Flores.

Following plenty of backlash, Activision seems to have toned down their plans for Black Ops 7, officially announcing a somewhat more grounded Fallout crossover.
Though initially teased late last year, the team at Treyarch / Activision have now fully unveiled the first crossover coming to Black Ops 7; with COD x Fallout officially launching on the 8th of January alongside Season 1 Reloaded.
In what might be their most comprehensive crossover yet, this limited-time event will of course include the obligatory event pass (featuring both a paid and free track to earn various Fallout-themed cosmetics).
In addition, a paid bundle will be made available for purchase which focuses on Amazon’s Fallout show protagonist Lucy.
