One of my favorite things about CES is finding ridiculous one-off and concept products that may never go into full production. At CES 2025, MSI created a custom CPU cooler with a built-in turntable that was really fun.
The water block’s official name is Mag Coreliquid A13 Concept, but the name doesn’t really matter as MSI has said it has no plans to sell it as an actual retail device. Not only does that mean you can’t have a fun little rotating table inside your desktop, but in a way it’s a shame because the cooler the A13 is based on, the Mag Coreliquid A15 360, is the real deal. A product with proper specifications. It features an offset CPU mount and can improve performance on recent Intel chips (such as the Core Ultra 200S) that have unusually located hotspots.

Unfortunately, there are no plans for actual commercialization.

I completely agree that the fun of using a rotary table inside a PC may be lost on many people. But once again, watch as Lucky (the name of MSI’s dragon mascot) spins in place as the desktop moves around. What’s even better is that you can lift up the water block’s transparent lid and put whatever you like inside. Think of a luxury watch or mirror ball. Isn’t that a big deal, especially when you have RGB lights nearby? Honestly, the whole setup is kind of mesmerizing.

But unfortunately, Mag Coreliquid A13 will never be yours. That is unless people make enough noise and keep bugging the MSI until they actually succeed. The power is in your hands.
