We’ve seen plenty of innovation when it comes to PC case fan aesthetics, but a company named Coolify seems to have raised the bar. Their latest ‘Holo Fans’ bring animated holograms to desktop setups, adding a striking visual element that goes far beyond simple LED effects.

Unlike conventional RGB fans, which rely on LED lighting for aesthetic appeal, Coolify’s Holo Fans project dynamic 3D holograms at their center, creating a floating visual effect while the fans spin. The technology utilizes an array of 96 LEDs to generate the illusion of depth, allowing users to display logos, animations, and even customizable graphics. This makes them the first case fans to integrate full holographic projection, setting a new standard for PC personalization.

Coolify’s Holo Fans are available in both 120mm and 140mm sizes and come with a dedicated controller to manage animations and lighting effects. The fans also support software integration, enabling users to synchronize visuals with system metrics such as CPU temperature, fan speeds, or gaming performance indicators. Additionally, the holograms can be adjusted to display system alerts or real-time notifications, adding a functional edge to their futuristic aesthetics.

Beyond their visual appeal, the fans are claimed to offer good cooling performance. They feature high-static pressure designs for efficient airflow, offering speeds of up to 2,600 rpm, fan airflow of 52 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and a rated air pressure of 2.75 mmH2O. Coolify has also designed the fans with quiet operation in mind, and claims noise levels of just 33dB(A) making them suitable for both gaming rigs and workstation setups. Notably, the power consumption is on the higher side ranging between 2W to 6W but can go up to 10W.

While RGB lighting has been a staple in PC customization for years, the introduction of holographic displays pushes personalization to a whole new level. Instead of static lighting effects or basic animations, these fans deliver an immersive, eye-catching experience that was previously unheard of in PC cooling solutions.

The Coolify Holo Fans were originally announced last year but it seems that you can finally purchase one for $45.99, though initial stock is expected to be limited due to high demand.

AMD took every ranking of the best graphics cards by storm when it released the RX 9070 XT, but many gamers are anxious for more budget-friendly options. Good news: The RX 9060 XT might not be far away now. On the other hand, another rumored GPU might be slipping through the cracks.

VideoCardz spotted some juicy scoop on Board Channels, a forum that often leaks news from AMD's and Nvidia's partners. Before we dive in, I have to remind you that the following is nothing but a rumor at this stage, so don't get too attached to the date I'm about to share with you. With that said, I do believe that the RX 9060 XT can't be too far off, so there's still plenty to get hyped about.

It feels like all of the big tech companies practically live in courtrooms lately, but it also feels like not much really comes of it. Decisions get made and unmade again, and it takes a long time for anything to affect consumers. At the moment, Google is in danger of getting dismantled and sold for parts -- and if it really happens, OpenAI has told the judge that it would be interested in buying.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, currently doesn't work with Google at all. Apparently, it wanted to make a deal last year to use Google's search technology with ChatGPT but it didn't work out. Instead, OpenAI is now working on its own search index but it's turning out to be a much more time-consuming project than anticipated.
