AIO coolers are fully embracing personality panels and daisy-chain ecosystems, with MSI’s MPG CORELIQUID P22 360 W, be quiet!’s Light Loop IO LCD 360, and Arctic’s Bionix P12 and P14 A-RGB fans all landing in this week's roundup. Razer upped the customization ante with the 23-button Naga V3 Pro, positioning it as the default peripheral for MMO and RTS players who actually want to map out their loadouts. The budget crowd keeps winning, as the Valkyrie B12 ARGB, EPOMAKER GX1 headset, and MSI’s display-equipped AIO all deliver solid performance without the usual flagship tax. While DeepCool’s woodgrain AK620 G2 and Id-Cooling’s visual "hybrid" design try to shake up the thermal market, premium acoustics and clean cable management.
Today’s Reviews: AIO Coolers With Screens, 23-Button Mice, and Daisy-Chain Fans
From be quiet!’s first LCD-equipped cooler to Razer’s latest MMO-focused mouse, here’s what the hardware press is testing today.
The AIO market isn’t slowing down, and neither is the push for personality panels. MSI just dropped the MPG CORELIQUID P22 360 W, a 360mm all-in-one that packs a 2.1-inch LCD and three ARGB fans. ThinkComputers says it lands squarely in the budget-to-midrange sweet spot, and if you need top-tier thermals without the flagship tax, it absolutely deserves a spot on your shortlist.
PC Cooling
be quiet! went a step further with the Light Loop IO LCD 360. It’s their first AIO to sport a display, running a 480x480 IPS panel at 500 nits wrapped in ARGB lighting. KitGuru and NikKTech both walked away impressed with the acoustics and the new IO controller that handles cable management in one neat hub. Club386 called it a blinged-up AIO with a touch of class, though they noted it isn’t quite a slam dunk. That’s fair. It’s a rather polished package, though the premium over their standard loop line will give some buyers pause.
If you're rebuilding a chassis, the Arctic Bionix P12 and P14 A-RGB fans are worth a close look. Club386 is calling them the future of daisy-chain builds, and the reasoning is straightforward. They nail that unified single-frame aesthetic while keeping individual fan replacement dead simple. TechPowerUp is also pointing to the Valkyrie B12 ARGB, a 120mm fan that punches above its weight on performance and noise while costing noticeably less than most ARGB options on the shelf.
Id-Cooling’s Frozn A620 SLK takes a different route. PC Inquisitor notes that the "hybrid" single and dual tower design is mostly a visual gimmick, sitting roughly equivalent in size to its 2024 predecessor. Meanwhile, DeepCool’s second-gen AK620 and AK400 G2 coolers land with optional woodgrain top covers and digital displays. Tom’s Hardware says they deliver strong thermals and quiet operation, which is usually the part that actually matters to someone running a 14900K or 9950X under load.

The Guru of 3D: BeQuiet Light Loop IO LCD CPU Cooler Review

Our review examines the 360mm version, which combines a radiator with three daisy-chained Light Wings LX 120mm PWM high-speed fans.

Audio & Peripherals
On the input side, Razer just added more buttons. The Naga V3 Pro clocks in at 23, which Tom’s Hardware summarized pretty perfectly: "More buttons, if you can believe it." Windows Central is calling it the default premium mouse for MMO, MOBA, and RTS players who need precision and flexibility. It’s a polarizing shape, sure. If you actually map all twenty-three keys to combat abilities, though, you’ll probably never want to go back.
Audio got some attention, too. EPOMAKER rounded out its accessory line with the GX1 gaming headset, aiming to balance wireless reliability, comfort, and sound quality without the usual gaming markup. Funky Kit’s review notes it hits a solid middle ground for buyers who want a capable headset at a reasonable price.
