Asetek has introduced the Emma V3 [Gen10], an all-in-one liquid cooling platform for desktop processors, at COMPUTEX 2026. The new cooler targets users who need efficient thermal management without excessive noise or bulky components.
New desktop cooling platform reduces thermal resistance and perceived noise levels significantly
The Emma V3 builds on the company's previous Gen8 V2 design with a focus on thermal efficiency and acoustic performance. Asetek redesigned the internal flow path to improve heat transfer while reducing the audible footprint under load.
Specifications
- Thermal Resistance Improvement: -1.5°C at typical TDP compared to Emma V2 [Gen8 V2]
- Perceived Noise Reduction: -45% under full speed and standard intervals
- Radiator Thickness: 30mm standard; optional cross-flow radiator for vertical coolant/air direction
- Cross-Flow Radiator Improvement: Additional 0.3~0.5°C improvement
Key specifications include a standard 30mm radiator thickness and an optional cross-flow radiator variant that aligns coolant and airflow vertically for better clearance in compact builds. The platform also features an offset copper base that matches processor integrated heat spreaders, high-density fins, and a seven-blade impeller designed to eliminate beat frequency effects.

A new rotatable bracket decouples tubing from internal microchannel direction, allowing the cooler to adapt more easily to different motherboard layouts. These design changes contribute to a claimed 1.5°C reduction in thermal resistance at typical TDPs compared to the Emma V2 [Gen8 V2]. Under full speed and standard intervals, Asetek reports a 45% drop in perceived noise levels.
The optional cross-flow radiator adds an extra 0.3°C to 0.5°C of improvement over the standard configuration. The company has not yet announced pricing or availability for the Emma V3 [Gen10], and no release date has been confirmed.
