Among the liquid coolers on display at Computex 2026 in the SAMA Gears booth was the Q80 AIO. Walking away from the usual approach of a single display. As they can say, “Why use one when you can use two?”

Based on the information at the booth, the Q80 uses a dual-screen setup with interchangeable 4-inch and 6-inch IPS panels housed in a metal-finish enclosure. Either screen can be mounted on the pump, with the larger display also capable of being detached and used as a secondary desktop screen, while the smaller panel can remain on the block for system monitoring.
This approach stands out in a category where most display-equipped AIOs keep the screen fixed to the pump. SAMA’s implementation gives users more flexibility instead of treating the display as a static visual element.

Outside of that, the Q80 sticks to a familiar formula. It features a 20 mm integrated radiator, a ceramic-bearing pump, and pre-installed 28 mm ARGB fans. Thermal paste and a secondary pump-head display module are also included.
One notable improvement, based on hands-on time at the booth, is SAMA’s software. A long-standing issue with slow and clunky controls appears to have been addressed. Presets and custom displays now load instantly, and the process no longer requires repeatedly hitting stop and load buttons, making the overall experience far more usable.
On the show floor, the swappable display system was clearly the highlight. Whether it’s actually useful in daily setups will depend on software support and ease of use, but with the software improvements, it at least feels more practical than previous implementations.
The Q80 was shown as part of SAMA Gears’ expanding cooling lineup, reflecting the ongoing push to add functionality to AIOs beyond raw thermal performance.
