Thermalright continues its relentless pace of launches with the unveiling of the Levita Vision AIO series, a liquid cooling lineup that seemingly wants to turn your CPU socket into a tablet.

Looking at the new Levita Vision AIO series, what stands out the most is undoubtedly the massive 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display mounted atop the water block, boasting a 2400 x 1080 resolution. While we have seen plenty of LCD-equipped coolers recently, Thermalright is pushing the boundary by offering a screen size and clarity that outclass most of the premium competition. This display is magnetically attached for ease of installation and can be fully customised with real-time monitoring data, custom images, or video playback via the company's dedicated software.

Builders should take note of the physical presence this unit requires, as the inclusion of such a display results in a water block height of 113.9 mm. This makes it one of the tallest blocks on the market, which will certainly present compatibility challenges for those trying to squeeze it into compact SFF chassis or cases with limited top-mount clearance. Under the hood, the cooling is driven by a high-efficiency pump rated at 3000 RPM. Available in black and white, the series is launching in two distinct variants: the Levita Vision UB and the Levita Vision Classic.

The primary difference between these models lies in the fan configuration. The UB variant uses the TL-UB36, a single-frame 360mm fan unit designed to minimise cable clutter and simplify the mounting process. These fans operate at up to 2150 RPM, delivering 69.0 CFM of airflow and 2.87 mmH2O of static pressure at a rated noise level of 27.0 dBA. For those who prefer traditional individual fans, the standard version uses the TL-M12Q, which spins at 2000 RPM, with a rated noise of 28.2 dBA and a static pressure of 2.21 mmH2O. Compatibility is extensive, covering everything from Intel LGA 115x and 20xx sockets to LGA 1851 and AMD's AM5 platforms.

KitGuru says: Thermalright is making a serious play for the high-end market while likely maintaining its reputation for aggressive pricing. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen is quite impressive, though you will need a fairly spacious case to accommodate it.

Sony has begun rolling out a new hardware revision for the PlayStation 5 Pro, moving from the launch-day CFI-7000 series to the new CFI-7100B01 chassis. While the external aesthetics remain identical to the original Pro model, there are some internal changes to improve power efficiency, thermal management, and acoustic profile. This refresh follows Sony's long-standing tradition of iterating on hardware to reduce manufacturing costs and improve long-term reliability without altering the baseline performance metrics.

The most important change in the CFI-7100B01 revision (via Guru3D) lies in a new stepping for the AMD-designed APU. By refining the silicon, Sony has shaved approximately 4% off the total system power draw during intensive gaming. While a 4% reduction might sound marginal, the lower power consumption directly translates into less heat. To complement this, the internal cooling solution has been redesigned with a more efficient heatsink and a revised fan curve. These modifications result in a measurable 2dB drop in fan noise.

Perhaps the most important improvement for the end-user comes packaged with the console rather than inside it. The revised DualSense V2 (CFI-ZCT2W) controller, now shipping with these new bundles, features a revamped internal circuit board and an optimised battery configuration. Early teardowns and user reports suggest a roughly 50% increase in battery life, pushing the controller's runtime closer to 12–15 hours. This improvement is achieved partly through hardware optimisation and the removal of the secondary noise-cancelling microphone, a trade-off that most gamers will likely find acceptable in exchange for significantly fewer trips to the charging cable.

Despite these internal advancements and the inclusion of the revised controller, Sony is maintaining the console's price tag. For those looking to identify the new version in the wild, the model number CFI-7100 on the packaging is the key indicator of the refreshed internal hardware.

KitGuru says: While existing PS5 Pro owners certainly don't need to rush out for an upgrade, the combination of a quieter fan and a DualSense that actually lasts through a long Sunday session makes the CFI-7100 the best version of the console for new adopters.

Thermaltake is updating its mainstream TH series with the new redesigned V3 family. The most immediate change is a departure from the circular “porthole” aesthetic of the previous generation in favour of a cleaner, more industrial square pump head. The series continues the trend of offering two distinct versions: one featuring an LCD segment for real-time monitoring and another utilising an infinity mirror.

The “Ultra” equivalent in this new lineup is the TH-S V3 ARGB Sync, which features a 3.95-inch LCD that displays data such as CPU temperature, clock speed, and power consumption. It is powered by the new TT Segment Code software, which allows for quick setup without the heavy resource overhead of more complex suites. For those who prefer a non-display aesthetic, the standard TH V3 utilises a multi-layered infinity mirror with a central TT logo.

A nice touch added to the new V3 family is the magnetic detachable top cover. This allows users to physically rotate the pump cap to ensure the display or logo is oriented correctly, regardless of which way the tubes are facing. Thermaltake is also leaning heavily into cable management with the TH V3, shipping both the 240 mm and 360 mm models with fans integrated into a single-frame unit. While it mimics the look of separate 120 mm fans, it is a single structural piece that significantly reduces the number of PWM and ARGB cables required.

These fans seem quite capable, reaching speeds of 2500 RPM and pushing a massive 85.29 CFM of airflow with 3.86 mmH2O of static pressure. At full power, the fans are rated at 37.8 dBA.

KitGuru says: Do you think it was a good idea to switch from individual fans to a single-frame set in the new V3 series?
