A new player entered the chat at Computex this year by the name of TRYX. I first saw some of their AIO kits on display at the Seasonic booth early in the show and made a note to head over and check out their wares.
About TRYX
TRYX was not a name that was familiar to me when I first stepped into their booth, which was luckily for good reason. They were founded last year and have been working on product development since then, but only adopted the name and exited stealth mode on March 28, 2024 which was a mere month before Computex kicked off.
TRYX is initially positioning itself as a premium brand, so the expectation is that their kit will be nice and be priced accordingly.
Their initial launch products are expected to reach the US via Amazon and other platforms in Q3 of 2024 (soon!). We’re following up with them to see about getting some review units for us to take a look at.
TRYX PANORAMA AIO CPU Coolers
The main showcase item that TRYX is launching with is its PANORAMA AIO CPU coolers. They will be available in ARGB and non-ARGB flavors with both 240mm and 360mm radiators. The cooler is based on Asetek’s 8th Generation platform that includes a 60mm within the waterblock housing. TRYX is differentiating its offering with a curved 6.5″ 2K resolution 60Hz LCD screen that is brighter and more vibrant than I’ve seen mounted on a waterblock before.
The screen wraps around the corner of the waterblock and the supporting software allows you to run a single source through it or split the screen so you have something different on the top than on the side.
These will not be cheap AIOs – while the final pricing has not yet been set, we’re expecting it to land at or around the $300 price point which is certainly consistent with their desire to be a premium brand.
TRYX Concept Cases
TRYX was also showing off some concept cases that they are working on developing into products. While there’s usually no shortage of these concepts at Computex, these two were both quite unique.
OTAVIA
First up is the OTAVIA case which I was told they are working on experimenting with different materials than what you’d typically find on a PC case. The vision with OTAVIA is to be more fashionable within living space. The material on the front of these two is a multicolored rope that is woven up and down the front panel. In theory, users can change it out with their own string/rope to match their room’s fashion look.
SPES
SPES is a small formfactor PC that has a full transparent screen integrated into the glass side panel of the case. If you’ve got your rig on your desk, it’ll serve as additional screen real estate for your computing purposes. When the screen is off, you can see the components on the inside through the glass.
Conclusion
TRYX made a good first impression on me with their products and thought process behind the designs that they’re working on. That says a lot as I usually react to first impressions with a furrowed eyebrow of skepticism. If they’re able to deliver these products at a quality and design level that they’ve promised, we could be looking at a new entrant into the premium brands of PC accessories, so long as they don’t price themselves out of the market. We’re looking forward to getting our hands on the PANORAMA to see how it stacks up against other coolers we’ve looked at.
