This is the kind of collaboration we love to see here! When a team ofmodders teams up with a leader in liquid cooling and the famous OCCT software, what do you get? We tell you everything about this not-so-unlikely meeting between Alphacool, OCCT, and LiquidHaus at CES 2026.
Alphacool x LiquidHaus x OCCT:
First, let’s introduce the protagonists.
OCCT is the benchmark software forstress testing, benchmarks, and stability testing forWindows andLinux. Regularly updated in line with hardware developments, we use it daily in our editorial office.
Alphacool is one of the current leaders in liquid cooling. The brand has particularly well negotiated the arrival of the new generations of graphics cards (RTX 5000 and RX 9000). Indeed, its catalog currently covers an indecent number of references, while the competition struggles to equip two or three models.
Finally,LiquidHausisa small team of Americanmodders (a team of two…). After several prototypes and models, they have just released their first chassis, the ISO.
It’s easy to guess what this top-level collaboration will produce: an originalbench table, designed for liquid cooling, without compromising on aesthetics.
All components under water:
Here we are in the Alphacool suite at CES 2026, in front of thisbench table that’s not quite like any other. It’s called EXO, and for the occasion, LiquidHaus hasassembled a homemade configuration on it:
- Asrock Z890 Taichi Aqua
- Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
- RTX 4090
- Patriot Viper XTREEM 8000
And everything is water-cooled: CPU, GPU, RAM, VRM, and SSD. This is a great way to showcase Alphacool products, especially the recent Apex range and the new XT45 radiators.
Integrated screen:
It’s clear that the components will be kept cool. It’s time to move on to benchmarks with OCCT. And to do so, nothing could be simpler, because the modders had the good idea of adding a screen mount directly to the chassis. Frankly practical, we can already see its usefulness in the editorial office.
Finally, there’s the question of availability. OCCT is free and accessible to everyone. All of the Alphacool products featured in the build are available on the brand’s official website. As for the EXO chassis…LiquidHaus promises a release in 2026, probably in a small series.
