TeamGroup unveiled many exciting products at this year’s Computex event. However, the T-Force Siren GD120S may be one of the most over-the-top M.2 SSD coolers we’ve seen, and since PCIe 5.0 SSDs started hitting the retail market, many rugged I’ve seen coolers. Just when you thought SSD coolers couldn’t get any crazier, TeamGroup launched a 120mm AIO liquid cooler designed to cool one of his best SSDs of all time, PCIe 5.0 drives.
The T-Force Siren GD120S is pure white and a great looking AIO liquid cooler for M.2 2280 drives. This cooler has a copper baseplate that transfers the heat from the SSD through two tubes to an aluminum radiator measuring 266 x 215 x 136 mm. The pump is quite good, with a more or less rated speed of up to 4,000 RPM and a flow capacity of up to 850 ml/min. Therefore, we need to be able to transfer a significant amount of heat at a significant rate.
The cooler consumes up to 4W. According to TeamGroup, the noise level of the pump is around 22 dBA. There are components inside the case that emit louder sounds. Meanwhile, one her 120mm ARGB cooling fan dissipates heat from the radiator. The cooling fan spins between 600 and 2,200 RPM and has a maximum noise level of 39.5 dBA, a little louder than a whisper.
The team group has not yet decided on the price of the T-Force Siren GD120S. However, the company is aiming for a third quarter launch. We can’t even speculate on the price of the T-Force Siren GD120S as there aren’t a ton of his M.2 AIO liquid coolers on the market.

TeamGroup also launched the T-Force AirFlow series of PCIe 5.0 coolers from the same brand featuring a more traditional air cooling style. The company has split the cooler into his three models: the T-Force AirFlow I, the T-Force AirFlow II, and the T-Force AirFlow III. The designs are slightly different, so consumers should decide which one is best for their system configuration and space. Graphics cards aren’t getting any smaller, so it’s difficult to fit his aftermarket M.2 SSD cooler into the build.
The T-Force AirFlow series features thick heat pipes, aluminum heatsinks with optimized fin stacks, and in some cases small cooling fans similar to Phison’s reference PCIe 5.0 coolers. TeamGroup claims that the T-Force AirFlow series can reduce the temperature of his SSD by up to 30%.

TeamGroup also exhibited the same brand Cardea Z5 series SSD at the booth. However, these are not the same drives as the Cardea Z54A that the brand has previously teased. Oddly enough, the company had made a big announcement about his SSD just days before Computex 2023, so the brand didn’t take the opportunity to reveal more information about its fast drives.
The Cardea Z5 comes in capacities of 1TB, 2TB and 4TB, a few steps below the Z54A. The drive’s sequential read and write speeds are up to 12 GB/s and 11 GB/s respectively. By comparison, the Cardea Z54A breaks the 14 GB/s and 11 GB/s barriers for sequential read and write performance. The manufacturer rates the Cardea Z5’s durability level at up to 1,400 TBW. PCIe 5.0 SSDs come with a standard 5-year warranty.
TeamGroup’s other products on display include the latest T-Force XTREEM gaming and overclocking memory, which will hit the market in traditional and ARGB flavors. Additionally, consumers can choose from a variety of speeds up to 8,266 MT/s.
The T-Force Siren GA360 AIO liquid cooler has also appeared. This cooler rocks a 7th generation Asetek V2 pump and leverages his AI in its operation. Some smaller products even have two USB 3.2 thumb drives. The C321 is Gen 2 with read and write speeds up to 1 GB/s and capacities up to 2 TB. The C175, on the other hand, is a first-generation drive made from 75% post-consumer recycled plastic.
