We're used to seeing the best gaming PCs dazzling and decorated, like gorgeous cases with glass side panels that show off the inside, RGB-lit processors and graphics cards with top-notch cable management, liquid cooling systems that look like they're straight out of a science fiction film and more.
But this CPU cooler called Lamptron ST060 will surely outperform anything you've ever seen as it is equipped with a six-inch HD display in the socket. The screen is useful for displaying video or data from the motherboard sensors. However, the latter will most likely require a subscription if you use AIDA64. And this is on top of what you'll also pay for that screen, as the fridge sells for $300 (around £240 / AU$460).
Most manufacturers use the extra space and attention around the CPU cooler to ensure that the heat pipes, fin stacks, and fans are installed correctly to keep everything running as efficiently and quietly as possible. But, according to Lamptron, there's plenty of cooling power nearby. A pair of 120mm fans sit directly below the display, as well as six 6mm heat pipes and a dual-tower heatsink.
All of this is capable of transferring up to 260W of thermal energy from a CPU, at least that's what Lamptron claims, which is perfect for high-end processors with equally high heat generation like the Intel Core i9-14900K or the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. . So if you have the best processor and a lot of money to spend, the Lamptron ST060 may be the cooler to invest in.
There are two versions available for purchase: the first with black fans and a black heatsinkand the second with ARGB fans and silver heatsink.
Expensive does not equal better
Seeing products like the Lamptron ST060 is certainly interesting, I can never quell my enthusiasm for seeing expensive and unique accessories, components and gaming rigs. Some examples are the Sneaker-shaped gaming PC and the Gaming PC shaped like a life-size robotwhich also avoids The dreaded 'PC aesthetic' What a lot of contempt.
But there is a certain level of annoyance that I also feel when seeing these types of products. Knowing that the market is so concerned about budget-friendly products, mainly thanks to the cost of living crisis, launching something so expensive and at the same time so unnecessary seems almost an insult.
This wouldn't be a problem if it were every once in a while, but then there are tech corporations like Razer, already known for its expensive line, that release a whole round of gaming hardware and products that represent the The worst of technology's love affair with decay. If you are interested in purchasing the Lamptron ST060, I am not the least bit embarrassed. But there needs to be more consistent, good-quality options for shoppers on a budget.
