MSI has presented its latest cooling gear at Computex 2026, featuring built-in screens, RGB fans, and other features befitting premium coolers. Of course, these new air and liquid models are more than just a pretty face, promising excellent performance in the face of today’s most-demanding processors.
MSI MEG CoreLiquid E15 360 AIO
Starting with the CoreLiquid E15 360, we have a new entry to the CoreLiquid series, boasting a 6.67in AMOLED display. The panel’s 2240×1080 resolution translates to a crispy 372 pixels per inch (PPI), featuring a tasteful 110° curve that gives some content a 3D-like effect, while also improving visibility if your PC’s side panel isn’t front facing.
MSI EZ Display handles customisation for this panel, but you’ll still need to have MSI Center installed to display live telemetry, such as temperature, fan speed, and other system values. I would’ve preferred a single software solution, but this shouldn’t prove bothersome once you’ve set up the cooler to your preferences.
Though already impressive, the new CoreLiquid isn’t just about style. MSI also brings its Laminar focus fan technology to the table – where the middle fan spins in reverse to minimise turbulence, smoothing airflow and reducing noise. The brand also took the potential of fan failure into consideration, in which case the remaining fans increase in speed to compensate while also turning red to inform the user that something’s amiss; though I wonder what would happen if red was the original colour anyway.
It’s worth noting that MSI is shipping the cooler with a unibody frame design. This means that, should a fan fail, you’ll need to replace all three. The chance of failure is low, as modern fans, particularly on the high-end are very resilient.
Lastly, on compatible MSI 800-series motherboards, you can power and control the CoreLiquid E15 360 via a single JAF_2 11-pin connector. Meanwhile, other boards will need to connect via three separate wires.
The CoreLiquid series has advanced a lot from earlier LCD models, encroaching on secondary display territory in some respects, rather than a simple hardware monitoring screen. I can’t help but feel this would serve as a perfect companion to the RTX 5090 Lighting Z, much as it’ll look ace in practically any build.
CoreFrozr AP15
MSI also presented its CoreFrozr AP15, a dual-tower CPU air cooler topped with a large DIGI display showing system monitoring info. The latter magnetically attaches to the heatsink, powered via pogo pins, making maintenance and installation easier.
Speaking of installation, the brand indicates that you won’t need to remove the centre fan to fasten the cooler in place, unlike many other air coolers, which will be especially great for novice PC builders. Lastly, to transfer heat from the CPU to the fin stack, MSI went with a six-heatpipe design, offset to maintain RAM clearance.
With the MEG CoreLiquid E15 360 AIO and CoreFrozr AP15, MSI has a potent one-two punch that’s sure to please PC users seeking something fancier than regular black and grey coolers. There’s sadly no word on pricing or availablity at the moment, but I’d expect both to cost a pretty penny.
