Computer Cooling Cooler Master series Master Air (air CPU)
prices on 7 modelsCooler Master Master Air
Cooler Master's Master Air series is a top-tier tower cooler designed with a focus on targeted lighting, quiet operation, and direct contact technology. In the latter case, when cooling, there is no need to use a metal soleplate, since the heat pipes are adjacent directly to the processor, increasing the cooling efficiency. Cooler Master has already used direct contact technology in Hyper turntables, it's just that the MasterAir series has developed Hyper's ideas: this way the number of heat pipes has increased to 6 pieces, new fans make less noise, and full-fledged address lighting has replaced RGB illumination.
Most clearly, the principles of MasterAir are revealed in the popular CBO MA410P. This is a high-performance tower cooler with a classic U-shaped quad heatpipe layout with enhanced Continuous Direct Contact 2 technology, a long-lasting 120mm PWM fan, and addressable LED lighting. Priced at around $50, it can dissipate impressive amounts of heat (up to 150W), making it suitable for cooling high-performance processors in gaming PCs and mid-range workstations. The tower comes with an LED lighting controller that works with all current lighting synchronization systems (Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and ASRock Polychrome Sync).
In addition to traditional tower coolers, the Master Air range also includes slightly more experimental variations of air cooling. For example, the ultra-compact, low-profile G100M and G200P models were designed with Cube Cases in mind with compact motherboards. The first uses an experimental two-phase thermal column, the second uses a flattened radiator with massive direct contact thermal plates instead of traditional heat pipes. Another unusual example is the MA620M closed-type tower with a two-section radiator, which is hidden inside a closed plastic casing with addressable lighting.
