HYTE Follows Up Y50 RGB Reveal With A Full Line Of DIY Tech

Yesterday, we highlighted HYTE’s new Y50 RGB case, but the PC hardware brand didn’t stop there. HYTE used Computex 2026 Day 1 to expand well beyond cases, rolling out its first RGB fans, a new smart hub, refreshed lighting accessories, and a broader ecosystem push built around universal compatibility for modern builders.

HYTE is best known for the Y70 Touch Infinite, but its Computex 2026 lineup shows the company leaning harder into full-system aesthetics and cooling hardware. The biggest reveal is the THICC FR12 RGB fan line, which marks HYTE’s first ARGB performance fan family and ships in 120mm solo and 360mm trio configurations. HYTE says the fans use a 32mm-thick frame, traditional and reverse-blade options, and up to 57.14 CFM of airflow with 4.44 mm H2O of static pressure. The fans also feature up to 68 LEDs for 360-degree illumination, plus daisy-chaining and standard PWM/ARGB support.

HYTE is also refreshing its FA-12 fan family with new G2 models. These are also available in solo and trio versions and move to a refined hybrid blade profile, fluid dynamic bearings, and PWM control. The company positions them as a cleaner, quieter, and more flexible option for users who want a matching visual style across a HYTE build without giving up on practical cooling.

New ecosystem pieces

Beyond fans, HYTE is pushing a small ecosystem of accessories that should appeal to builders who want easier cable routing and cleaner lighting control. The Aesthetic Cable Extension Kits use sleeved cabling and broad compatibility for modern connectors, including 12V-2×6 GPU, PCIe, CPU, and motherboard leads. HYTE also updated its ARGB Noodle LN80 lighting accessory, which now offers 215 degrees of glow and standard ARGB header support without a proprietary controller.

The new ARGB and PWM Smart Hub is probably the most useful accessory in the set for high-end builds, since it adds powered ARGB ports, four independently controlled PWM headers, and Nexus software support through a dedicated ID chip. That makes it more than a basic splitter and gives HYTE a stronger play for users building dense, RGB-heavy systems.

Pricing and timing

HYTE says the THICC FR12 RGB fans will arrive in Q3 2026 for $19.99 for the solo model and $44.99 for the trio, while the FA12 G2 fans are set for Q3 2026 pricing of $39.99 for the solo four-pack and $24.99 for the trio. The cable extension kits will cost $69.99, the ARGB Noodle LN80 will cost $29.99, and the Smart Hub will cost $24.99, all with Q3 2026 availability.

For case modders and aesthetic-first builders, this is a meaningful shift for HYTE. The company is no longer just selling enclosures; it is building the ecosystem around them. You can check out everything HYTE is showcasing during Computex here.
