ASRock has expanded its liquid cooler lineup with the new Rock series, introducing eight AIO models across 240mm and 360mm radiator sizes.
The lineup is aimed at mainstream PC builds and comes in both black and white finishes. You can choose between Digital models with a small display on the CPU block and simpler ARGB versions with an illuminated strip.
Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
ASRock Rock series lineup
| Variant | Radiator size | Color | Block design |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rock 240 Digital | 240mm | Black | 1.05 inch display |
| Rock White 240 Digital | 240mm | White | 1.05 inch display |
| Rock 360 Digital | 360mm | Black | 1.05 inch display |
| Rock White 360 Digital | 360mm | White | 1.05 inch display |
| Rock 240 ARGB | 240mm | Black | ARGB light strip |
| Rock White 240 ARGB | 240mm | White | ARGB light strip |
| Rock 360 ARGB | 360mm | Black | ARGB light strip |
| Rock White 360 ARGB | 360mm | White | ARGB light strip |
The Digital versions use a 1.05 inch screen that can display real time CPU temperature.
ASRock has not provided details about broader customization, so it is unclear whether the screen will support images, animations or additional system information.
The ARGB versions replace the display with a simple illuminated strip on the CPU block.
240mm and 360mm options target different builds
The Rock family covers both common radiator sizes.
The 240mm models should fit a wider range of mid tower and compact cases, while the 360mm versions provide more radiator surface area for systems with enough mounting space.
ASRock has not published cooling performance figures or supported CPU power limits in the supplied announcement, so it is not yet possible to compare the Rock series directly with its Challenger, Steel Legend or Phantom Gaming coolers.
The company appears to position the new lineup as a simpler everyday option rather than a flagship cooling family.
Three phase pump and unified frame fans are standard
Every Rock series cooler uses a three phase, six slot pump design.
ASRock also mentions a dual side inlet configuration, although detailed information about pump speed, flow rate and noise has not been disclosed.
The radiators come with preinstalled unified frame fans.
That design should simplify installation because the fans are already aligned and mounted, while also reducing the amount of cable management required inside the case.
Clean installation appears to be one of the main priorities of the Rock series.
Silent operation is part of the design
ASRock includes what it calls 0 dB Silent Cooling technology.
The company says this allows the cooler to produce little or no noise during light workloads.
The exact fan stop behavior and temperature thresholds have not been detailed, but the feature should reduce unnecessary fan noise when the CPU is under low load.
That can be useful for desktop work, browsing and other light tasks where full radiator airflow is not needed.
Six year warranty adds long term coverage
ASRock will ship the Rock series with a six year warranty.
That is a notable level of coverage for an AIO cooler, especially if the series is eventually priced below the company’s more premium models.
The lineup also gives buyers a straightforward choice between visual features and a cleaner design.
If you want basic monitoring directly on the pump block, the Digital version adds the small temperature screen. If you prefer a more minimal look, the ARGB version keeps the lighting simple.
For now, the main missing details are price, exact launch timing and performance data.
Once those are available, it should become clearer how the Rock series fits between ASRock’s Pro, Challenger, Steel Legend and Phantom Gaming cooling families.
