The coolest PC hardware announced at Gamescom 2024: six stories from Köln


A roundup of the most interesting PC hardware announced at Gamescom 2024 from the likes of Asus, Zotac, Ckrd and HyperX.

Gamescom 2024 is officially underway in Cologne - and alongside a raft of game announcements at Opening Night Live, a lot of new PC hardware has also been shown off for the first time. Here are my personal highlights from the show so far, including next-gen AMD Ryzen motherboards, a promising new PC handheld, big news in the gaming monitor space and a host of special edition hardware to celebrate the meteoric launch of Black Myth: Wukong. The top two motherboards in the lineup, the X870E Hero and the Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi, get DDR5 design optimisations under the "NitroPath" brand, including gold finger pins, shorter signal pathways and stronger retention mechanisms.
