Valkyrie is pushing the boundaries of AIO design with the new N360 VK AIO cooler. While most high-end coolers now include displays, the N360 VK distinguishes itself with a massive 6.67-inch curved AMOLED panel integrated directly into the pump block, a screen size more typical of a modern smartphone than a PC component.

According to EXP Review (via Guru3D), the screen features a 2400 x 1080 resolution display with full lamination for superior clarity. To ensure the screen doesn't impact system performance, Valkyrie has equipped the block with an independent processor, eMMC storage, and its own onboard operating system. This allows the cooler to play back videos, display complex telemetry, and manage local file storage without using your system resources. The screen is attached via a magnetic mounting mechanism, simplifying installation and ensuring the display remains perfectly aligned with the block.

Beneath the massive screen, Valkyrie has implemented several cooling performance features to justify its 300W performance target. Starting with the pump, the N360 VK AIO is a self-developed model featuring a three-phase, six-pole motor and permanent-magnet impeller, utilising ceramic bearings for a longer MTBF. The cold plate employs 0.08 mm micro-channels to maximise the surface area for heat exchange. Moreover, the cooler includes an offset mounting bracket system specifically designed for multi-core processors. By shifting the centre of the cold plate to align with the CPU's actual thermal hotspots, the N360 VK can achieve more efficient heat transfer. Lastly, the 120 mm E2-Pro ring-blade fans featuring dual ball bearings paired with the cooler can operate between 500 and 2400 RPM, delivering up to 82.33 CFM of airflow and 3.14 mmH₂O of static pressure while remaining under 31.2 dBA at full power.

The N360 VK supports a comprehensive range of sockets, including Intel LGA 115x/1200/1700/1851 and AMD AM4/AM5. Available in both black and white finishes, the cooler supports full RGB synchronisation with all major motherboard ecosystems. The cooler is now available for pre-order in China for around £105.

KitGuru says: Given its massive AMOLED screen, built-in processor and 360 radiator, the cooler seems relatively cheap for what it offers. Do you think the N360 VK AIO has what it takes to stand out in the AIO market?

Rockstar Games has reportedly taken steps to grant a terminally ill fan's final wish of playing Grand Theft Auto 6 before its scheduled release on November 19th, 2026. The news emerged after Anthony Armstrong, a UI integrator at Ubisoft Toronto, shared a heartfelt appeal on LinkedIn on behalf of a family member battling cancer.

According to the original post (via GTA VI Countdown), the individual had been given a prognosis of only six to twelve months to live, creating a tragic timeline where they might not survive to see the game's official launch. Armstrong noted that the family member in question lives near the Rockstar Toronto studio in Oakville and expressed hope that an exclusive, confidential playtest could be arranged so they could experience the game.

The story gained significant traction across social media, eventually catching the attention of leadership at Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two Interactive. In a subsequent update before the post was deleted, Armstrong revealed that Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had personally reached out to the family to facilitate a connection with the development team. A final update shared that the family had received ‘great news' after speaking with Rockstar, leading to widespread speculation that an early access session or private demonstration had been approved. The deletion of the LinkedIn thread shortly thereafter is widely believed to be the result of the non-disclosure agreements typical of such sensitive, confidential industry interactions.

This gesture continues a compassionate, albeit rare, tradition within the video game industry. Rockstar Games previously made headlines in 2018 for allowing a terminally ill fan to play Red Dead Redemption 2 several weeks before its debut. Other studios have also allowed gamers in similar circumstances to try out a game ahead of its launch, such as Gearbox Software with Borderlands 4 in early 2025. While Rockstar remains one of the most secretive developers in the world, these exceptions highlight a willingness to prioritise the community's most vulnerable members during critical development phases.

KitGuru says: Rockstar's reputation for secrecy is legendary, but their history of making exceptions for terminally ill fans shows a different side of the studio. While the public will have to wait until November 2026 to try the game themselves, it is heartening to see the industry's biggest players use their resources to provide a meaningful experience for someone in such a situation.

AMD is reportedly recalibrating its RDNA 4 production strategy amid the ongoing global memory shortage, which continues to squeeze hardware margins. Although the Radeon RX 9070 series is a success, recent reports suggest that AMD is now winding down production of the standard Radeon RX 9070 to prioritise the more expensive RX 9070 XT. This shift is a direct response to skyrocketing VRAM prices, which have made lower-margin graphics cards increasingly impractical to manufacture.

According to ProHardver (via VideoCardz), because both the RX 9070 and its XT variant use 16GB of GDDR6 memory, the cost of the raw materials for both cards is virtually identical. However, the RX 9070 XT carries a higher retail price, allowing it to better absorb the rising cost of memory chips without requiring drastic price adjustments.

At launch, the RX 9070 was intended to provide a more affordable entry point into high-performance 1440p gaming, priced just £55/$50 below the XT variant. In the current economic climate, where memory producers are prioritising AI data centres over consumer electronics, that narrow price gap has been swallowed up by rising bill-of-materials costs. While AMD does not plan to halt production of the non-XT version completely, the share of this model in total shipments is expected to decrease significantly throughout the first half of the year. This strategy mirrors recent reports from Nvidia, which has also been rumoured to cut shipments to board partners by up to 20% as it navigates the same issues.

For PC builders, this reallocation of resources means that the Radeon RX 9070 XT will remain the primary focus for AMD's board partners for the foreseeable future. Industry analysts suggest that this tricky math for manufacturers will persist until at least 2027, making high-VRAM, mid-range cards like the RX 9070 a rare sight on retail shelves as companies prioritise SKUs that offer the best return on every gigabyte of memory.

KitGuru says: By focusing on the RX 9070 XT, AMD can at least ensure that some high-performance RDNA 4 stock remains available, even if it means the more affordable non-XT version becomes a “ghost” GPU.
