Open-air Der8adapter from Thermal Grizzly, tailored for ardent PC enthusiasts seeking hands-on tinkering experience.
The Marvel at Thermal Grizzly's der8enchtable at Computex 2025
Jaw-dropping innovations were abundant at Computex 2025, with one standout star being Thermal Grizzly's der8enchtable. Nestled among competitor's specialized cooling and overclocking gear in a bustling booth, this oddly-named product caught our eye. At first glance, it seems ungainly, but upon closer inspection, it reveals its true purpose – it's an open-all-angles PC case designed for fast and efficient hardware testing. Primed for content creators, professional users, and extreme overclockers, the der8enchtable is no laughing matter.

Collaboratively designed by overclocking specialists Roman 'der8auer' Hartung and ElmorLabs, the der8enchtable is more than just an elevated motherboard tray. The metal struts and supports that rise from it guide users in placing components accurately. From the large PCB area, lofty motherboard standoffs dominate, while fan, internal USB, power, and reset buttons, microSD card slots, SATA ports, multiple USB, pump, and fan connectors, auxiliary power inputs, and additional fan sockets dot the edges. Compared to typical PC cases, these features are much more extensive and comprehensive, revolutionizing hardware testing and prototyping without the need for external adapters or cases.
In addition to its extensive connectivity, the der8enchtable offers sturdy metal support for any PCIe cards you wish to install. Thick metal bars on another edge provide mounting points for both air and AIO cooling solutions, ensuring efficient thermal management on the bench. And let's not forget about active PCB and D-RGB lighting, which not only makes the der8enchtable aesthetically pleasing but also functionally beneficial, enhancing visibility during testing and demonstrations.
DeltaMate Product Line and Other Offerings
The Thermal Grizzly team didn't stop there – they also showcased their new DeltaMate product line. Building on previous work on the Mycro series of direct-die water cooling equipment, this complete, visually cohesive range of water-cooling components supports the latest high-end processors and graphics cards, with compatible CPU sockets including AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1851. Despite initial GPU support being limited to the premium Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090, future updates might expand compatibility, catering to a broader audience.
Another intriguing offering from Thermal Grizzly is the prototype WireView Pro, which serves as an improved version of the trusted tool for measuring power consumption of graphics cards. Designed primarily for tuning GPUs to attain the best overclocks, special attention was paid to detecting common issues with the 12VHPWR power connector. Per-pin current monitoring offers easy identification of unbalanced load situations, while an integrated fire extinguisher fan helps prevent heat build-up.
