CES 2024: Leo previews the Alphacool Apex Skeleton and new liquid cooling gear

Our next stop at CES this week is Alphacool. Here, Leo gets a closer look at the new Apex Skeleton cases, new CPU coolers and some fantastic liquid-cooled systems.

The Apex Skeleton Case arrives in two versions, utilising carbon tubes, metal plates and glass. We're set to review this case in-depth soon, so keep an eye out for our full thoughts on the PC building process. It'll be an expensive case though, with the basic version coming in at around $500 and a pricier enhanced version with a distro plate included for custom liquid cooling and an extra metal panel to hide away cables.

If you're building a workstation, then Alphacool has options with its new ES CPU coolers. These are made for workstation-grade chips like the Intel Xeon or Ryzen Threadripper and it can dissipate up to 900W of heat via four cooling engines directing coolant. On the block, you'll find carbon material to help stiffen the block and make it more robust.

If you are looking to put together your own custom cooling loop, then there is a ton on the way this year. Alphacool now has a whole family of distro plates, with cleanly machined plexi material that almost looks like glass. The core tube reservoir is due very soon too, offering an overhaul in design and aesthetic.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
