MSI unveiled a groundbreaking PC building ecosystem at CES 2026, featuring new AMD motherboards with enhanced overclocking, innovative power supplies with GPU Safeguard+, a flagship panoramic chassis, advanced cooling solutions including dual-tower air coolers and a curved OLED liquid cooler, and a new VTuber platform DigiME, all aimed at elevating performance, customization, and user experience.
nVent, a Minnesota-based electrical manufacturing company, is playing a crucial role in cooling data centers that support AI applications like ChatGPT, as demand for data processing grows. The company produces water-cooling products and is expanding its capacity with a new facility in Blaine, Minnesota, amid a booming AI market and increasing data center needs. CEO Beth Wozniak highlights the company's innovation, growth, and commitment to diversity, with a significant portion of its board being women.
Auras Technology, a supplier of cooling components, claims that Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series GPUs will dominate the market starting in December, although a January 2025 launch is more likely. The GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, are expected to require robust cooling solutions due to their high power consumption. Auras anticipates significant growth in demand for its cooling products across PC, GPU, and server markets, with plans to expand manufacturing in Mexico. Nvidia's server-related revenue is also projected to grow significantly due to increased sales of AI server cooling systems.
Formula 1 teams have made significant modifications to their cars for the Mexican Grand Prix to address the cooling challenges posed by the high altitude and reduced air density. Red Bull, Ferrari, Alpine, McLaren, AlphaTauri, Haas, and Williams have all introduced new parts to enhance cooling, such as enlarged louvres, expanded coke panel exits, and redesigned engine covers. Alfa Romeo, Mercedes, and Aston Martin did not introduce any new parts. Ferrari is confident in its existing engine cover but has a backup option if needed. The teams anticipate temperature management challenges during the race, particularly in traffic, but feel better prepared compared to last year.
