LYNK+ Ecosystem Takes Shape with New CPU Block and Radiator
Following the successful launch of its initial VGA cooler, LYNK is taking a bold step towards complete system integration. At CES 2026, the company showcased two key components that will allow enthusiasts to build a fully unified liquid cooling loop – a dedicated CPU water block and a 240mm radiator. This expansion addresses a critical gap in the LYNK+ offering, enabling users to leverage the full potential of their system’s thermal capacity.
The core promise of the LYNK+ solution remains unchanged: to eliminate the complexities associated with traditional aftermarket liquid cooling. Previously, users were limited to pairing a LYNK VGA cooler with separate radiator and CPU block components. Now, with the addition of these new elements, LYNK aims to provide a seamless experience, streamlining installation and maximizing cooling efficiency. This is particularly relevant for demanding GPUs like the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, where significant thermal headroom can drastically improve performance and stability.
Unified Cooling Performance
The new LYNK+ CPU block is designed to work in conjunction with the existing LYNK VGA cooler and the 360mm radiator, creating a single, continuous liquid cooling loop. This shared thermal solution allows for optimal heat dissipation from both the CPU and GPU, minimizing temperature fluctuations and contributing to sustained peak performance. The design focuses on efficient heat transfer, crucial for high-powered components operating at maximum load.
Key Features & Benefits
- Modular Design: Easily customize your cooling solution based on your specific hardware configuration.
- Simplified Installation: Quick-disconnect fittings and a streamlined design reduce the time and effort required for installation compared to traditional custom loops.
- Optimized Thermal Performance: A unified cooling loop ensures maximum heat dissipation from both the CPU and GPU, leading to improved system stability and performance.
- Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with LYNK VGA coolers and 360mm radiators (sold separately).
Future Expansion
LYNK’s vision extends beyond just the initial components. The company is positioning the LYNK+ ecosystem as a scalable solution, allowing users to expand their cooling capacity as needed. The combination of the 360mm radiator and the new 240mm radiator provides ample space for high-end builds, while future iterations could potentially incorporate even larger radiators or additional components.
