Zalman has debuted its ZM-DF120 fan series at Computex 2025; with an emphasis on reducing cable clutter and easy installation. This is enabled by a magnetic mounting system and per-unit pogo pin interfaces. Similar designs have emerged from rival companies in the recent-ish past; eventually leading to ugly legal battles. The South Korean manufacturer is (bravely) stepping into this arena with its heavily ARGB-lit ZM-DF120 120 mm PWM fan options; showcased in black and white finishes. Side infinity mirror panels are hyped as providing dazzling visual effects. According to specification placards, fan speed range is 600-2000RPM (±10%). Maximum noise level is 34.5 dB (±10%), and max. air flow is 70.05 CFM (±10%). Zalman did not list any static pressure data. As expected, their ZM-DF120 fans leverage a hydro bearing platform.

In less than a week from now, FSP will present at Computex its complete lineup of ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 power supplies, a new SFF-READY ITX case, and the MP9 Series dual-tower flagship CPU cooler. Despite us not having (yet) any pictures of their upcoming or updated products, we're going to first let you know what FSP will showcase at this year's Computex show. Based on the success of their flagship MEGA TI power supply series, FSP is expanding its range with the new MEGA PM (Platinum efficiency) and MEGA GM (Gold efficiency) series. These additions provide performance-focused users with more options in terms of wattage and efficiency. The VITA PSU series has also received an upgrade with the introduction of VITA PM, now certified for 80 Plus Platinum. Then, for the first time at Computex, FSP will showcase their 1200 W Platinum-certified SFX-L PSU alongside the 1000 W SFX Platinum model.

We're looking forward to seeing FSP's new S550 ITX small form factor case series, which they say is certified as NVIDIA's SFF-READY and fully supports the RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card. FSP added that the S550 case is designed for users who want top-tier performance in a compact form factor, combining attractive aesthetics, optimal airflow, and support for high-end GPUs.

At Display Week 2025, Aledia, the leader in nanowire and 3D silicon-based microLED display technology, will showcase FlexiNOVA - a new product-ready platform built on its proprietary nanowire microLED technology and designed to scale production of next-gen displays. With its first industrial chip format now defined and available for sampling in 6 V and 9 V variants starting in H2 2025, FlexiNova empowers OEMs and display makers to integrate microLEDs into devices as diverse as smartwatches, automotive dashboards, luxury TVs and ultra-high-resolution monitors while maximizing power efficiency.

To bring microLED to mass production, performance alone isn't enough—industrial viability is key. Until now, microLEDs have mostly stayed in the lab due to high costs and manufacturing challenges for chips smaller than 30 µm. FlexiNOVA removes these barriers, making it easier for manufacturers to transition to microLED displays, which are brighter, more energy-efficient and have a longer battery life than OLED and LCD. What makes FlexiNOVA stand out is its flexibility: chip size, shape and power usage can be tailored to product needs without sacrificing performance.

Hey everyone! Here we are announcing Mycopunk. It's a game. There's a lot of cool stuff in it. We could tell you all about it, but that's a lot of work. So you should stop reading and go play the DEMO. In case you've decided to keep reading (why??) let's take a look at some of the things in Mycopunk that we're most excited about. Mycopunk was born from our desire for a fun (FUN) co-op FPS that makes players want to keep coming back without any of that FOMO shit. This mostly manifested in three ways: shooting stuff is fun, progression is interesting, and [REDACTED].

Weapons
If you've played the demo you'll know your weapons feel good to shoot and carving up enemies is fun. If you disagree, come tell us to our face in the Mycopunk discord. Most of us don't bite. Some weapons are what you'd expect. The SMG is an SMG. It shoots bullets. But from the beginning we wanted to have some really weird, cool ass weapons. One of our favorites is the Swarm Launcher—it launches a swarm (no way) of pellets that hover above the ground and will dive down on enemies when you release the trigger. Some of the Swarm Launcher's upgrades let it do some really cool stuff, but we'll get to that later. We have four guns for you to play around with in this demo, and on release you'll have many more. Those guns are SECRET. For now…

Towerborne is available now in Xbox Game Preview on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Cloud, Game Pass, and as an Xbox Play Anywhere title. It's a big moment for all of us at Stoic (Banner Saga Trilogy), and we wanted to take a moment to talk about our journey so far—and where Towerborne is going next. At its core, Towerborne is a new kind of Looter Brawler—side-scrolling, pick-up-and-play combat fused with deep ARPG progression. You take on the role of an Ace, a spirit-forged hero sworn to defend the Belfry, humanity's last refuge. Venture solo or squad up in online co-op (or couch co-op on Xbox!); every swing, every loot drop, and every Umbra companion you recruit pushes back the darkness beyond those tower walls.

Our release via Xbox Game Preview marks a watershed moment in Towerborne's journey, a game we started building years ago. That early spark of imagination grew into the world you're stepping into today. Yesterday's release also brings a sizable update that deepens progression through the new Class Mastery system, reshapes the world map with dozens of handcrafted missions, and introduces fresh Umbra, legendary gear, and a formidable new foe.

The 8K Association was at the NAB 2025 Show with several areas of interest. At one end of the booth, there was a demonstration of real time gaming using an AMD-based gaming PC and a special 65" TV flown in from Korea by 8K Association member, Samsung, that supported 120 FPS display. The game was Horizon Forbidden West and the TV was a modified Neo QLED 8K display set enabled with the following features: Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and FreeSync Premium Pro. The PC was from MAINGEAR and used an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU. The game supports the Steam platform which allows analytics to be shown and confirming the 120 Hz operation. The game was rendered at 5K and was then internally upscaled using AMD ML-based FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 technology.

The signal was sent to the TV using HDMI 2.1b with DSC support and the impressive smooth visuals attracted a lot of attention from visitors, especially those that were already aware of the game, which is visually very impressive. In the center of the booth was the latest 8KA "sizzle reel" which includes video provided by member company Imax featuring some impressive content scanned from its 70 mm film stock. BZBGear, another 8KA member was showing its range of switches, splitters and HDBaseT transmitters and receivers which all support 8K.

If you would like to follow development and get your hands on BETA access as soon as it becomes available, make sure to join our Discord; using this link. To answer the biggest question that Astroneer fans: No, STARSEEKER is not a direct sequel or Astroneer 2. STARSEEKER exists within the same universe as Astroneer, but it's a very different game. That being said, Astroneer is still in active development!
