[COMPUTEX 2026] ARCTIC Freezer 61 Tower Cooler Lets You Sidestep RAM Clearance Problems

ARCTIC’s small booth in COMPUTEX 2026 still has its fair share of new and upcoming products, and there’s a few that caught our eyes. There’s the Freezer 61 tower cooler we mentioned in the title, and then there’s the BioniX P12/P14 fans that take a different approach towards daisy-chaining.

ARCTIC Freezer 61

A typical dual-fan CPU air cooler usually has to deal with RAM clearance issues, as the typical push-pull configuration meant the rightmost fan will most likely interfere with the height of the modules. This can be worked around by increasing the height of the heatsinks, which increases the overall height of the cooler for the same cooling capacity, and that also limits its case compatibility as well.

The Freezer 61 aims to sidestep this problem completely by flipping the fans the other way around: instead of typical push-pull configurations (pictured above), this tower cooler can be installed as pull-pull configurations so RAM module height no longer becomes a concern. As usual, it’s got black and white versions to accommodate correspondingly-themed PCs, and it will support the upcoming Intel LGA1954 socket on top of existing ones as well.

ARCTIC BioniX P12/P14

Next up is the BioniX P12 (120mm) and P14 (140mm) case fans, and the interesting bits is the mechanism in which the three fans connect to each other. Currently, daisy-chaining approaches involve cables (doesn’t look quite as good) and magnetically-attached pogo pins, but ARCTIC’s approach involves a small piece of PCB to bridge the circuits between the fans involved. You’ll need two of them for each extra fan installed, though only one of them deal the electrical signals while the other is purely for mechanical functions.

ARCTIC Smart Fan Controller

We’re also shown the upcoming 10-in-1 fan controller hub that allows a single device to control 10 fans individually – notably, not through any proprietary software, but through SignalRGB instead, which also works on Linux-based systems (we should note this application is not open-source, however). It connects via USB for data signals and SATA for power, like many other fan hubs out there.

Pokdepinion: Neat stuffs. Hoping to see them here soon!
