The Shark Has Landed: EMARQUE Delivers Malaysia’s First Shark X Gaming PC!

EMARQUE, Malaysia’s leading custom PC builder, has made waves in the global PC scene by unveiling the country’s first Cooler Master Shark X gaming PC. This striking, shark-inspired build — known for its nearly one-metre-tall artistic design and cutting-edge performance — redefines the concept of a high-performance desktop and has now made its debut in Malaysia.

EMARQUE founder and CEO Kiri Kaniathran described the Shark X as more than just a piece of technology — calling it a work of art, a personal expression, and a bold statement. The build was commissioned by a client who had been impressed by EMARQUE’s previous Sneaker X project, inspiring the team to take on this ambitious creation for a fellow Malaysian enthusiast.

Constructing the Shark X was a highly complex task due to its curved, asymmetrical design, which lacked standard features like a motherboard tray or traditional airflow routes. Every part of the chassis had to be carefully analysed and customised to fit the components, making it one of EMARQUE’s most challenging and artistic projects to date. Kaniathran noted that the finished product looks more suited for an art gallery than beneath a desk.

The build was tailored for a passionate tech enthusiast and gamer in his mid-30s from Kuala Lumpur. His vision was clear and simple — to own a system that did not just perform at the highest level but stood out as the ultimate centrepiece of his setup. “I didn’t want just another powerful PC — I wanted something no one in Malaysia had yet,” he shared. “Shark X is exactly that. It’s bold, powerful, and absolutely one of a kind.”

This Shark X build is equipped with a carefully selected range of high-performance, next-generation hardware components, including:

• CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K

• GPU: ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC

• Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-I Gaming WiFi

• Memory: GSkill Trident Z Royal 64GB (32GB x2) DDR5 6400MHz

• Storage: 2 x WD Black SN850X 2TB M.2 SSDs (Total: 4TB)

• Cooling: Customised Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ATMOS

• Power Supply: Corsair SF1000L 1000W Fully Modular Platinum SFX

Despite its museum-worthy look, this PC is no showroom piece. It is engineered for ultra-smooth gameplay at 1440p and 4K resolutions with ray tracing, high refresh rates, and multi-monitor setups all handled with ease. From Cyberpunk 2077 to Monster Hunter Wilds and Black Myth: Wukong, the system handles modern AAA titles with ease, consistently delivering frame rates above 100 FPS. This performance is supported by strategic airflow design and a slight CPU downclock to maintain stable thermals and prevent throttling.

The Shark X isn't just a gaming powerhouse — it's also a high-performance production machine designed to handle demanding creative workflows like 4K and 8K video editing, 3D rendering, and heavy multitasking. Its bold, sculptural design makes it a collector’s piece, while its powerful internals ensure it’s ready for serious use.

This fully customised Shark X build, including components and expert craftsmanship, cost around RM33,198. The client also added a 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 G95NC — a dual UHD, 240Hz gaming monitor worth RM9,000 — bringing the total investment to over RM42,000.

Looking ahead, EMARQUE is set to launch a new wave of showcase builds in collaboration with tech creators and global partners, aiming to deliver limited-edition systems that blend performance, artistry, and storytelling to redefine what a custom PC can be.

Whether you are a competitive gamer, digital creator, or simply someone who wants to own a PC that reflects their identity, EMARQUE is redefining what a custom setup can be. For more information, kindly visit https://emarque.co/
