Phanteks introduces the 360M25 LCD AIO cooler

Phanteks has joined the trend of AIOs with big LCDs with the announcement of the 360M25-LCD AIO, a 360mm liquid cooler that stands out for its massive 6-inch high-resolution IPS LCD.

The built-in display boasts a 1480×720 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, making it one of the largest currently available on a pump block. Despite the screen's size, the unit was designed to maintain a 51mm clearance for tall RGB RAM modules, ensuring compatibility with most motherboards and memory kits.

A pure-copper cold plate handles the cooling alongside a 360mm radiator equipped with three new M25 Gen 2 D-RGB fans. These fans are designed for high airflow and low acoustic output, and use the Nexlinq daisy-chain system to minimise cable clutter by routing both power and lighting through a single connection. The hardware is fully compatible with modern sockets, including Intel LGA 1851 and AMD AM5.

On the software side, the Nexlinq App for Windows offers deep LCD customisation, allowing users to display clock speeds, temperatures, and media files without significant CPU overhead. The display logic operates directly at the hardware level to ensure that animations remain smooth even under the system's load. Available in both black and white finishes, the 360M25-LCD AIO is priced at £129.90/$149.99/€149.90.

KitGuru says: The 360M25-LCD AIO feels like a direct response to the big LCD offers that have flooded the industry in the last couple of years. The good thing is that it isn't as expensive as many of the others.

Thermaltake launches TT PowerCare in UK for speedy power supply replacements

Thermaltake is launching a new programme here in the UK – TT PowerCare. Through this new initiative, ThermalTake power supply buyers in the UK will be well looked after should something ever go wrong, thanks to a swift PSU replacement service to get your system back up and running.

Starting from the 1st of March 2026, TT PowerCare will be introduced across Thermaltake’s PSU range, on top of the existing extended warranty. Under this new service, if a power supply unit is verified as faulty, Thermaltake UK will arrange a replacement within 48 working hours. On top of that, end users will no longer be required to return the faulty PSU, eliminating unnecessary downtime and logistical delays.

Speaking on the TT PowerCare programme, Thermaltake UK said: “At Thermaltake, we believe warranty support should be fast, simple, and customer-centric. With TT PowerCare, we are significantly reducing resolution time and removing friction from the RMA process, delivering peace of mind that truly matches the quality of our power supplies.”

In order to be eligible for the TT PowerCare programme, you will have to buy your TT PSU from a participating retailer. At launch, participating retailers include SCAN, AWD-IT and Falcon Computers. Additional partners may be added to the list in the future.

KitGuru Says: We don't see many initiatives like this across the UK so it is nice to see Thermaltake stepping up here. Do you think more brands should offer replacement services like this?

First look at Amazon’s live-action God of War series

We have our first look at the upcoming live-action God of War series set to air on Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, the reveal hasn't gone down entirely well.

The first in-character shot of Kratos and his son, Atreus, has been released as part of an early marketing push for the God of War TV series. The show was already ordered for two seasons and it is expected that these seasons will follow the events of the 2018 God of War game and its 2022 sequel, God of War: Ragnarok.

The official synopsis for the show says: “Father and son Kratos and Atreus embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.”

There is no word yet on when the first season will premiere but if filming is happening now, then chances are we will be watching the first episode in around a year's time.

KitGuru Says: While this isn't necessarily a frame-grab from a fully shot and edited scene, it does give us an idea of the costume and make-up design. I expect the final show to look better with all of the special effects in place.

Xbox February update improves cloud gaming and ROG Ally performance

Microsoft has launched its February 2026 Xbox update, bringing a suite of improvements to console players and QoL refinements across the ecosystem.

The most notable addition is the expansion of 1440p cloud streaming for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, allowing Game Pass Ultimate members to enjoy sharper visuals and improved bitrates. This move effectively brings the console experience in line with the high-resolution streaming already available on PC and select smart TVs, further narrowing the gap between local and cloud-based play as the service officially moves out of its beta phase.

The update also caters to the growing handheld market, specifically providing new tools for ROG Ally and Ally X users. Players can now format removable storage directly through the Xbox app, and a new Advanced Shader Delivery indicator has been added to help avoid the dreaded “shader stutter” by notifying users when precompilation is complete. On the PC side, Microsoft is adding navigation sounds to the Xbox app to make controller usage feel more tactile.

Beyond technical tweaks, the Xbox ecosystem continues to grow, with over 1,000 titles now supporting both Xbox Play Anywhere and the “Stream your own game” feature for Ultimate subscribers. Recent additions like High on Life 2 and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined highlight the expanding Handheld Compatibility Program. At the same time, the Retro Classics library, in partnership with Antstream Arcade, has grown to over 100 retro classics. With more than 130 cloud games now supporting mouse and keyboard input and over 260 supporting touch controls, Microsoft is clearly doubling down on its new “play anywhere, on anything” philosophy.

KitGuru says: Xbox's February 2026 update is a solid improvement but there is still much work to be done.

Keychron expands V Ultra keyboard series with V10 75% Alice and V0 numpad

Keychron has broadened its V Ultra-series lineup with the release of the V10 Ultra and the V0 Ultra. The Keychron V10 Ultra adopts an ergonomic 75% Alice layout that reduces wrist strain by angling the hands inward. Accompanying it is the V0 Ultra, a standalone wireless mechanical numpad.

Both devices are constructed from durable ABS plastic and mark a significant technological shift for Keychron by adopting the open-source ZMK firmware. This move away from the traditional QMK allows for much greater wireless efficiency and is the primary driver behind the series' impressive battery life claims.

 

Under the hood, the keyboard and numpad are equipped with Keychron's new Silk POM switches. Available in Red linear, Brown tactile, and Banana tactile options, these use a self-lubricating material for a smoother, richer typing sound. Moreover, like the remaining V Ultra family, these two boards also have an 8,000 Hz polling rate. To complement this, the V10 Ultra packs a 4,000 mAh battery capable of up to 660 hours of use with lighting disabled, while the V0 Ultra's 1,800 mAh cell offers roughly 360 hours of wireless uptime.

Both units feature south-facing per-key RGB lighting and hot-swappable PCBs compatible with any Cherry MX-style switches. Typing comfort is further refined by Poron gasket mounts and internal acoustic foams, which help damp vibrations. For connectivity, users can toggle between Bluetooth 5.3 for multi-device pairing, a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle for low-latency gaming, or a standard USB-C wired connection. The aesthetic is finished with double-shot PBT keycaps in the OSA profile. The V10 Ultra is now available for $124.99, and the V0 Ultra at $69.99.

KitGuru says: While the 8K polling might be overkill for most typists, the real star here is the switch to ZMK firmware. If you have been looking for an ergonomic Alice board that doesn't require a charging cable every three days, the V10 Ultra seems like one of the most balanced options out there.
