Coolermaster

Coolermaster
The Coolermaster booth was packed with new products, from high end cases to water cooling kits and fancy CPU Coolers.

The main focus was on the newest high end chassis, the Cosmos, featuring a rather space design with aluminum tubes at the sides (ideal for modders & water cooling) an aluminum front, SECC chassis, a very easy plug and play system for 5.25” devices, six aluminum detachable HDD modules with thermal pads for optimizing cooling performance, cable management for better cable routing en neatness, a bottom 120mm fan (1200rpm) and top 120mm which is auto controlled by a temp probe.

Last year Coolermaster had no removable hard drives cages, but this year is different, no matter your drive size (2.5/3.5”) or connection (PATA/SATA) they have an enclosure for it, providing easy installation, cooling, and connectivity over USB, Firewire, UTP and eSATA.

Over to CPU cooler a few updated products made their debut, the Hyper TX 2 features a universal mounting system for AMD/Intel, while the Hyper TX 3 comes with a brand new fan which is designed to reduce vibration; The Mars 2 has gained weight and comes with a power effective fan to increase the cooler’s performance/noise level.

For several years now, I have been visiting the technology Valhalla in Hannover, and this year was no different. Leaving at 4 am on a cold Saturday morning, I left my cozy home in The Netherlands for a four hour drive. Arriving safely, I settled in comfy seats in front on the entrance, since the doors only opened at 9 am, DUH!
