One of the things I love the most about CES is finding all the silly one-offs and concept products that might never see full production. At CES 2025, MSI made something truly joyful when it created a custom CPU cooler that features a built-in turntable.

The water block’s official name is the Mag Coreliquid A13 concept, though a name doesn’t really matter because MSI says it doesn’t have plans to turn it into an actual retail device. That’s kind of a bummer since not only does it mean you won’t be able to put a fun little spinning table inside your desktop, it also sucks because the cooler that the A13 is based on — the Mag Coreliquid A15 360 — is a real product that has some neat specs. It features an offset CPU mount that can improve the performance of recent Intel chips (like the Core Ultra 200S) that have hotspots in unusual positions.

Now I fully admit that the fun of having a spinning table inside your PC might be lost on a lot of people. But then again, just look at Lucky (that’s the name of MSI’s dragon mascot) twirling in place while the desktop churns along. And what’s better is that you can raise the clear lid on the water block and put anything you want inside. Think about a fancy watch or maybe a disco ball. Wouldn’t that be a hoot, especially with all those RGB lights nearby? Honestly, the whole setup is kind of mesmerizing.

But alas, the Mag Coreliquid A13 will never be yours. That is unless people make enough noise and keep bugging MSI until they make it for real. The power is in your hands.
