Cooler Master Gemin II Heatsink CPU Cooler

Cooler Master Gemin II S524 Heatsink Review

" One of the things that often gets overlooked with self contained liquid cooling systems is the row of passive motherboard VRM and MOSFET heatsinks that surround a CPU socket. On every recent motherboard we've tested, these surface mount components are only cooled by whatever airflow comes off the processor thermal solution. This is not to say the motherboard power circuitry necessary requires direct cooling, but if the board maker has tacked on a passive aluminum heatsink, it needs some modicum of breeze to function within a reasonable temperature range. The issue that crops up with self contained water cooling systems is absence of a fan on the CPU waterblock, thus no airflow to cool the passive heatsinks around the CPU socket. "

 Cooler Master Storm Trigger Gaming Keyboard

Cooler Master Storm Trigger Review

" Cooler Master is a company that is very well known for their chassis, power supplies and varioius coolers. However, they have been expanding into other areas of the computer component market, such as peripherals. More precisely, Cooler Master has an entire lineup of gaming devices carried under the Storm series brand, and we've found them to be very well done overall. Today we're looking at the latest addition to the Cooler Master Storm lineup: the Trigger mechanical keyboard. Mechanical boards have become all the rage of late, and it seems everything old is new again, with updated tweaks, of course. Gaming keyboards, and specifically mechanical ones, are quickly taking hold amongst the enthusiast crowd. The days of the cheap plastic boards that die after a few fragging sessions are becoming nothing but a distant memory. "

 Cooler Master TPC 812 CPU Cooler

Cooler Master TPC 812 CPU Cooler Review

" Now if you are asking, “What is a Vapor Chamber?” think a wide flat heatpipe. As you can see in the above animation, the Vapor Chamber works like a heatpipe, but with its size being 4x bigger it can help pull heat from hotspots faster. The TPC 812 has 2 Vertical Vapor Chambers, they’re in an ‘L’ shape and the short leg sits on top of the cooler base, the long leg goes up into the cooling fins. Out of the box the TPC 812 supports all current sockets from both Intel and AMD. The cooler comes with a single 120mm PWM fan that operates at 600 – 2,400 RPM pushing 19.17 - 86.15 CFM, at 19 - 40 dBA. Cooler Master also provides mounts if the end user should choose to add a second fan for a push/pull configuration. "

 Coolermaster Silent Pro PSU Power Supply

Coolermaster Silent Pro M2 PSU Review

" The Coolermaster Silent Pro M2 PSU is one of CM’s new silent rated product range, which is both efficient and most importantly, affordable. We see the new Silent Pro M2 models range from a low 420w right up to the high 1000w, specifically: 420w, 520w, 620w, 720, 850w, and lastly the 1000w. To further inform you, both 850w and 1000w PSU models are 80PLUS Silver certified, whereas the lower wattage models are all 80PLUS Bronze certified. Featuring aluminium-copper heatsink combined with a 135mm Super Silent HDB fan, the Silent Pro M2 720W features a powerful single 12V rail capable of powering a High-end PC with 8 Core CPUs and several VGAs running in SLI or CrossFireX mode. But most of all, it can do it silently. "

 Cooler Master HAF XM Case Chassi Mid Tower

Cooler Master HAF XM Review

" Cooler Master packages the HAF XM in the same type of full color cardboard box we have seen with the Cosmos II or previous generations of the HAF chassis. A large image of the case has been placed on the front, while the rear goes into some detail about the features. Both sides of the package have carrying holes, but only one gives you some more information as it lists the specifications in detail. The other panel has another image of the chassis for you to look at. The chassis is held in place by two thick Styrofoam spacers, so you will not have to worry about it getting damaged during transport. A plastic bag further protects the HAF XM from fingerprints and dust during the packing process at the factory. "

 CoolerMaster HAF XM Mid-Tower Chassis Case

CoolerMaster HAF XM Mid-Tower Chassis

" As computer enthusiasts, one of our goals is to keep our system's internal heat levels to a minimum. Cooler Master has made this their mission, and over the years has built a reputation for doing it well. With the advent of their HAF (High Air Flow) series of cases they took it to a whole new level. We have had the opportunity to review several of the HAF series here at Bjorn3D, so when they offered us the chance to get our hands on the HAF XM, before it was on the market, we jumped at it. "

 Cooler Master HAF XM Case

Cooler Master HAF XM Review

" There’s no doubt that the mid-tower segment of cases has become a real minefield when it comes to finding everything you want in a case at a price point you can afford. With more features being rolled out all the time, it can take some real work to find just the right case for you. One of the worst things that can kill some people is finding a case that you love but for some reason it’s too large for your tastes or for the space where you will be putting your rig. Cooler Master’s HAF series of cases has gained quite a following over the last few years. Once only a full tower solution, Cooler Master has been answering those who want the aggressive styling of the HAF series in a midtower case. It was only a matter of time before the HAF-X gained a little brother just as the 932 got with the 922 and 912. Today we are looking at the Cooler Master HAF XM; the mid tower version of the popular HAF-X full tower chassis. Boasting features like USB 3.0 connectivity, two hot swap SATA drive ports, and enough room to stuff a ton of fans within this case, the HAF XM is looking to give the HAF fan everything they want in a smaller footprint. Let’s see if the HAF XM has what the fans want. "

 Coolermaster Hyper 612 PWM Heatsink CPU Cooler

Coolermaster Hyper 612 PWM Heatsink Review

" On the test bench today is a boxy tower-style processor heatsink from Cooler Master called the Hyper 612 PWM. This is a pseudo-quiet cooling heatsink built around six, 6mm diameter copper heatpipes and a single 120x120mm PWM fan. The fan rotates at 2000-600RPM and offers at best, excellent thermal performance. At the slowest fan speeds you can expect very quiet but generally average performance from the Hyper 612 PWM heatsink. "

Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus Mid Tower Case Review

" Cooler Master is one of the biggest manufacturers of computer chassis and they often update their products with refreshes. The Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus can be seen as an improved version of the Elite 430 that we reviewed in late 2010. Let’s see if Cooler Master has made any significant improvements to this entry-level chassis. "
