Industry Overview

Computex 2026: liquid cooling emerges as clear trend 04 June 2026

We attended Computex 2026 in Taipei (2-5 June) and visited several cooling/thermal Equity

suppliers’ booths, including Jentech, Auras, Delta, Vertiv, and Kaori. AVC (Asia Vital Greater China

Components, AVC) did not set up a booth this year. We see the clear trend of rising Technology

liquid cooling adoption, which is used in GPU (graphic processing unit; Exhibit 1), ASIC Doris Kao >>
