Bykski launched the 'B-240-WCD-X,' an external liquid cooling chassis that offers DIY PC builders a little extra space to work with. The chassis supports a single 240mm radiator and two 120mm fans to cool the radiator. This liquid cooling system sits completely hidden within the chassis, meaning there is no chance of external damage to the fans or radiator within. Additionally, the liquid loop tubing features dedicated ports on the chassis, while the device also receives its own power lane.
The Bykski B-240-WCD-X is an excellent release given the size and temperature of the latest NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, with cards such as the RTX 4090 and Ryzen 7950X taking up more than three computer sockets and reaching nearly the entire length of most mid-size cases. This external chassis helps cool these devices without compromising on the already packed internals of a computer case.
The B-240-WCD-X is currently available for preorder at an MSRP of $309.99 USD.
