KitGuru gets a sneak peek at upcoming Arctic Liquid Freezer II and Freezer 50 TR

We are currently at Distree EMEA in France to get a sneak peek at some upcoming tech ahead of Computex later this year. While roaming around this afternoon we had the chance to catch up with Arctic, where we were shown two upcoming CPU coolers. The Arctic Liquid Freezer II is a 360mm AIO unit and the Arctic Freezer 50 TR is a beastly aircooler designed to tame Threadripper.

Both air cooler and the AIO unit are still being finalised, so some design elements could change before launch later this year. However, we were able to get pictures to give us an idea of what to expect:

From what we were told by the Arctic reps, the Liquid Freezer II is aiming to dethrone Corsair for the performance crown, while entering the market at a much lower price. Meanwhile, the Freezer 50 TR boasts eight direct contact heatpipes and a huge, RGB-lit heatsink design.

We won't be able to share more details on specs until we get our next look at Computex later in the year. Currently, from what we are told, the plan is to have these become available at the same time as Ryzen 3000, which AMD briefly announced earlier this year and is expected to launch in June.

KitGuru Says: We weren't able to find out much in the way of specs but we'll know more on that front in a few months time. Still, from the looks of it, these should be decent performers. We'll be looking forward to being able to put both coolers through their paces.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
