Over the past few years, the PC cooling market has become increasingly saturated with LCD-equipped liquid coolers. While manufacturers have introduced larger displays, higher resolutions, and improved customization options, most products ultimately follow the same formula—a screen attached to a pump block.
At COMPUTEX 2026, TRYX is attempting to redefine that formula entirely.
Rather than simply displaying images on a screen, the company has unveiled the HOLO, a next-generation liquid cooling solution capable of projecting holographic visuals directly above the CPU water block. The result is one of the most innovative and visually striking products we have seen on the show floor this year.
Who is TRYX?
TRYX is a premium PC hardware brand focused on pushing the boundaries of industrial design, user experience, and technological innovation within the enthusiast PC market.
Unlike traditional component manufacturers that primarily compete on specifications, TRYX places a strong emphasis on creating products that blend engineering, aesthetics, and personalization. The company’s product philosophy revolves around transforming PC hardware from simple functional components into immersive digital experiences.
Their products have consistently showcased a willingness to challenge industry norms, and with HOLO, TRYX may have delivered their most ambitious concept yet.
HOLO: The World’s Most Interactive Liquid Cooler?
At first glance, HOLO appears to be a premium AIO liquid cooler.
Look closer, however, and you’ll discover something entirely different.
Using a holographic projection system based on the classic Pepper’s Ghost optical principle, HOLO creates the illusion of three-dimensional visuals floating inside the water block enclosure. Unlike traditional LCD screens that remain confined to a flat surface, HOLO generates depth and spatial separation that makes characters, pets, animations, and digital objects appear suspended in mid-air.
The effect is surprisingly convincing.
Whether displaying animated characters, custom artwork, virtual pets, or AI-generated content, the holographic visuals create a sense of depth rarely seen inside a PC chassis.
This is not merely another screen.
It is effectively a miniature holographic display integrated directly into a CPU cooler.
Bringing Digital Companions into Your PC
One of the most fascinating aspects of HOLO is the way it transforms a traditionally passive component into an interactive visual centerpiece.
Users can display:
- Animated virtual pets
- Anime characters
- Gaming-inspired avatars
- Custom holographic artwork
- AI-generated content
- Animated GIFs
- Personal media libraries
During demonstrations, TRYX showcased everything from holographic animals to anime characters and artistic visual effects floating inside the cooling block. The technology immediately evokes memories of futuristic science fiction interfaces while remaining surprisingly practical for everyday use.
For enthusiasts who spend countless hours perfecting the aesthetics of their builds, HOLO introduces an entirely new dimension of personalization.
KANALI: The Software Behind the Experience
The hardware itself is only part of the story.
Powering the entire ecosystem is KANALI, TRYX’s centralized software platform designed specifically for HOLO. Through KANALI, users can manage content, configure display settings, monitor system health, and personalize the holographic experience.
A particularly noteworthy feature is direct GIPHY integration.
Rather than manually creating content, users gain access to a constantly updated library of GIF animations that can be deployed to the holographic display with a single click. The software also supports custom media uploads including MP4 videos, GIF files, and static images, ensuring that users are not limited to pre-installed content.
The result is a platform that feels closer to a content ecosystem than a traditional hardware utility.
Performance Still Matters
While the holographic technology naturally steals the spotlight, TRYX has not neglected cooling performance.
HOLO is built around a next-generation Asetek cooling platform featuring the latest Sigrid pump architecture and a cooling capacity rated for up to 280W TDP workloads. According to TRYX, the solution is designed to handle demanding applications including gaming, AI workloads, rendering, and content creation.
This ensures that HOLO remains a serious enthusiast-grade cooler rather than a novelty product.
The unit supports:
- Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200 and LGA115X platforms
- AMD AM4 and AM5 processors
- 360mm radiator configurations
- PWM-controlled pump and fan operation
- Advanced thermal management through Asetek’s cooling technology
New FOBR Unibody Fans Debut Alongside HOLO
Accompanying the cooler is the debut of TRYX’s new FOBR fan design.
Instead of treating each fan as an individual component, TRYX has adopted a unibody 3-in-1 frame architecture that improves structural rigidity while significantly reducing cable clutter. The integrated design also minimizes vibration and resonance at high rotational speeds.
Aesthetically, the lighting implementation is refreshingly understated.
Rather than flooding the fan blades with RGB illumination, TRYX places geometric lighting elements along the frame itself, creating a cleaner and more premium appearance.
The fans utilize new SLF (Silent Lubricating Fluid) bearings with a self-stabilizing oil pressure system and are rated for 50,000 hours of operation, providing both quiet acoustics and long-term reliability.
Designed for Real-World Builds
Beyond its holographic capabilities, HOLO incorporates several practical design considerations.
The water block is housed within a full aluminum-alloy enclosure that not only provides durability but also serves as an additional passive heat dissipation element. An adjustable hinge mechanism allows users to rotate and reposition the holographic display for optimal viewing angles regardless of case orientation.
This attention to detail highlights TRYX’s understanding that enthusiast hardware must balance visual appeal with usability.
Final Thoughts
Every year at COMPUTEX, manufacturers attempt to capture attention through bigger displays, more RGB lighting, or increasingly aggressive industrial designs.
TRYX has taken a different approach.
Rather than asking how to place a larger screen inside a PC, the company asked a far more interesting question:
“What if the display no longer looked like a display at all?”
The result is HOLO—a product that feels less like a conventional liquid cooler and more like a glimpse into the future of PC customization.
While only time will tell whether holographic cooling systems become the next major trend in enthusiast computing, one thing is certain: HOLO was among the most memorable products we encountered at COMPUTEX 2026.
For an industry constantly searching for new ways to stand out, TRYX may have just shown everyone what the next frontier of PC personalization looks like.
