My Favorite Gaming PC at CES 2025

Check out this Jinx-inspired gaming PC that stole the show at CES 2025!

Introduction
While I’m not a regular League of Legends player, I thoroughly enjoyed ‘Arcane’. Pride compelled me to choose a gaming rig from Hyte’s CES display as my favorite.

The PC case boldly claims, “Jinx was here!” but it’s the sophisticated design underneath that truly impresses. It features a custom Bitspower X Hyte Distroplate mounted in the Hyte Y70 chassis.

Understanding the Tech
A distro plate consists of intricate channels that manage cooling liquid in a custom setup, doubling as a reservoir. It also simplifies tubing routes, eliminating unnecessary bends and clutter.

The setup includes two independent liquid loops, optimizing cooling for distinct hardware components. The upper blue loop keeps the Ryzen 5 7600X cool, while the lower pink channel manages the heat from an RTX 4080 Super.

Visual Appeal
While the Bitspower X Hyte Distroplate isn’t quite market-ready, it was on display at the event. The aesthetics and functionality combined make it a stunning piece of technology.
I also spotted a runner-up at the Pro Gamers Group booth featuring a Duck-themed setup—equally impressive and quirky.
