COUGAR debuts AI-ready gaming gear at COMPUTEX 2026

By AI, Created 12:41 PM UTC, June 03, 2026, /AGP/ – COUGAR is showing a 2026 lineup at COMPUTEX in Taipei from June 2-5, centered on AI workstations, gaming PCs, cooling, power, furniture and peripherals. The portfolio points to a shift toward hardware built for local AI workloads, multi-GPU systems and high-end gaming.

Why it matters: - COUGAR is targeting the overlap between gaming hardware and AI computing, where higher power draw, stronger cooling and multi-GPU support matter most. - The lineup is built for local modeling, agentic execution and AAA gaming, which puts pressure on cases, power supplies and thermal design. - The product mix suggests COUGAR wants to be seen as an end-to-end infrastructure brand for the “intelligent era,” not just a gaming accessory maker.

What happened: - COUGAR is exhibiting at COMPUTEX 2026 in Taipei from June 2-5. - The booth is at Nangang Exhibition Hall 1, 4F, M1101a. - The 2026 portfolio spans cases, AI workstations, cooling, power supplies, gaming furniture and peripherals. - COUGAR says the lineup is designed for the convergence of high-end gaming, AI-driven creation and agentic processes.

The details: - The NU 700 Full Tower and NU 500 Mid Tower support workstation-grade E-ATX, SSI-EEB and CEB boards. - The NU Series includes dual flagship-GPU support, EMI shielding and load-bearing handles. - The NU 700 adds dual-PSU support with optional CRPS redundancy and space for dual 360mm radiators. - The NU 500 keeps dual-GPU readiness and front 360mm cooling in a mid-tower form factor. - The DUOAIR moves the PSU to the front to create a vertical intake column for GPUs up to 410mm. - The DUOAIR uses five ZPX/ZPB fans, interchangeable airflow or glass front panels, four dust filters and an ARGB light bar. - The CFV220 centers on a Central Flow Vent that turns open space into an intake corridor. - The CFV220 includes triple-glass panels, reverse-connector support and 420mm GPU clearance. - COUGAR’s first retail pre-builts use the DUOAIR and CFV220 chassis. - The prebuilt range includes systems based on Intel i7-14700F and RTX 5060, plus Ryzen 9800X3D and RX 9070 XT. - The US-only lineup includes the 1440p DUOAIR A1, CFV220 M1 and CFV220 X1. - The pre-builts are listed as coming soon. - The LQX Pro 360 includes annular-blade 120mm VRX PWM fans, an in-pump VRM fan and a 3.95-inch IPS LCD. - The LQX Pro 360 screen runs at 720x720 resolution and 60Hz. - The LQX Elite 360 replaces the screen with a frosted ARGB panel. - Both LQX models use full-edge ARGB fans. - The FRZ 612 dual-tower uses six heat pipes, two PWM ARGB FDB fans, an ARGB top panel and an integrated digital display. - The FRZ 412 uses a single-tower four-heat-pipe design with one PWM ARGB FDB fan and the same display. - The FRZ 412 Elite drops the display and keeps the four-heat-pipe tower with a PWM ARGB rifle-bearing fan. - The VRX Series fans come in 120mm and 140mm sizes, plus reverse-blade versions. - COUGAR’s PSUs are fully ATX 3.1 compliant and include native 12V-2x6 support. - The WS Series prototypes reach up to 3200W and support up to four 12V-2x6 connectors. - The WS Series also uses PCIe 5.1 cabling, 100% Japanese capacitors, up to 94% efficiency and a Zero-RPM FDB fan. - The Polar V2 line is fully modular, 80 PLUS Platinum and rated for a 300% excursion with dual-GPU capability. - The Polar V2 includes 100% Japanese capacitors, eight protections and a 130x30mm FDB fan in a 150mm frame. - The PV Series reaches up to 92% conversion efficiency, with native PCIe 5.1, 100% Japanese capacitors and a 140mm FDB fan. - The Arker chair uses a steel frame, Hyper-Dura leatherette, high-density padding, near-flat recline, an extendable footrest and a 5-star base with 7.5cm PU mute wheels. - The Speeder Elite includes mesh upholstery, tunable lumbar support, seat-depth adjustment, 3D armrests and a 2D headrest. - The Fusion EX includes a built-in lumbar system and synchronized linkage armrests. - The E-Ares 160 and Ares 160 desks measure 160x75cm and include a carbon-fiber laminate surface, full waterproof mousepad, embedded RGB, cup holder, headset hook and cable tray. - The E-Ares 160 adds electric height adjustment with anti-collision auto-stop and a USB-C port. - The Ares 160 keeps the same build at a fixed height. - The Revenger Pro 8K mouse weighs 58g and supports 8K polling wired and wireless, a 30,000 DPI Pixart sensor, 100M-click optical switches and triple-mode connectivity. - The Phaze 8K keyboard uses 8K polling and a 4K scan rate for a 0.25ms response, with magnetic switches adjustable to 0.01mm via UIX software. - The Phaze 8K also includes Quick-switch Rapid Trigger, PBT Doubleshot keycaps and a 98% RGB layout.

Between the lines: - COUGAR is leaning hard into hardware designed for power-hungry AI and GPU-heavy workflows, where thermal headroom and PSU capacity can be a buying trigger. - The company is also widening beyond cases and peripherals into the full physical setup around a workstation, including chairs and desks. - The naming and feature set show a clear push toward premium positioning, with displays, ARGB lighting and modularity used as product differentiators.

What’s next: - The retail pre-built systems are expected to launch soon in the U.S. - COUGAR will likely use COMPUTEX to position these products for buyers watching the AI PC and enthusiast gaming markets. - The company’s broader rollout will depend on how quickly consumers and system builders adopt AI-capable desktop hardware.

The bottom line: - COUGAR is using COMPUTEX 2026 to signal a bigger ambition: own more of the hardware stack for gaming, creation and local AI work.
