One of the things I love most about CES is finding all the silly, unique products and concept products that may never see full production. At CES 2025, MSI did something really fun when it created a custom CPU cooler that features a built-in rotating disc.
The official name of the waterblock is the Mag Coreliquid A13 Concept, although the name doesn’t really matter because MSI says it has no plans to turn it into an actual retail device. This is kind of a bummer because not only does it mean you won’t be able to fit a fun little rotating table inside your desktop, it’s also a bad thing because the cooler the A13 is based on — the Mag Coreliquid A15 360 — is a real hardware product that has some specs. Elegant. It features CPU mounting that can improve the performance of recent Intel chips (such as the Core Ultra 200S) that have hotspots in unusual locations.
MSI made a CPU waterblock for CES 2025 that has a built-in rotary dial and it’s kind of cool.
Unfortunately, there are no plans to put it into actual production.

Now I fully admit that the joy of having a rotating table inside your computer may be lost on a lot of people. But then again, just look at Lucky (that’s the name of MSI’s dragon mascot) spinning in place as the desktop moves. Better yet, you can lift the clear lid over the water block and put anything you want inside. Think about a luxury watch or maybe a disco ball. Wouldn’t that be nice, especially with all the RGB lights nearby? Honestly, the whole setup is kind of charming.
But unfortunately, the Mag Coreliquid A13 will never be yours. That is unless people make enough noise and keep bugging MSI until it becomes real. The power is in your hands.
