Tryx claims ‘world’s first holographic liquid cooler’ at Computex but I doubt it was much of a contest
Tryx introduced the Tryx Holo at Computex 2026, positioning it as the “world’s first holographic liquid cooler.” The cooling solution features a traditional radiator design with three fans and subtle RGB lighting, but its main attraction is a holographic visual effect built into the pump unit window.
The centerpiece of the Tryx Holo is a tiny holographic character visible through the pump window, which displays a 3D holographic appearance using a transparent screen. While the exact character design remains somewhat unclear from initial impressions—described as a ghost-like figure with distinctive features—the holographic effect serves as the cooler’s primary aesthetic draw rather than a functional performance enhancement.
The announcement reflects the ongoing trend of PC hardware manufacturers adding increasingly unconventional visual elements to cooling solutions, moving beyond traditional performance metrics to focus on customization and aesthetic appeal. While Tryx’s claim of being “world’s first” in holographic cooling may technically stand, it highlights the niche nature of the innovation within the broader cooling market.
The Tryx Holo represents an interesting convergence of liquid cooling technology and display innovation, though its practical appeal will likely depend on how the holographic effect looks in actual use and whether gamers and enthusiasts view it as a worthwhile addition to their builds.
