1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,200 We're here at the Cooler Master headquarters at Comp Computex 2025. We 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,480 are looking at some incredibly cool stuff here. Starting off with the Cosmos 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:16,320 2025. This right here, you you've seen the Cosmos before. Very good looking 4 00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,600 case, but this one is very special. First of all, water cooling. Second of 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:26,160 all, it has a bunch of foam on the front. This is aluminum, and it's sort 6 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:32,280 of like you do casting really bad, and it looks awesome. But most exciting is 7 00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:39,280 around the back they have a 360x 360 radiator, meaning this thing is 8 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,200 going to cool so much. Now, depending on 9 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,719 if you want this to be an air cooled or water cooled system, the entire 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,960 motherboard tray is able to move forwards and backwards to either give 11 00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:54,079 you more room for fans or more rooms for that absolutely massive radiator. We 12 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:58,879 also have custommade water blocks. This one right here is for the 5090 stricks. 13 00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:03,359 and also this really cool distribution panel. Now, at the moment, we do not 14 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,479 have pricing because things might get a little bit changed. So, one thing that 15 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,080 you could change Cooler Master is the pump. This right here, as far as I can 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:15,920 tell, is a single DDC. And in my experience, those love to stop working. 17 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:17,759 So, maybe a single D5 or two DDC's would 18 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,560 be really appreciated in this guy just so it's a bit more reliable. And 19 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:28,640 speaking of reliability, reliably making this cooler was an incredible challenge 20 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,200 for them because it's not a normal CPU 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:36,600 cooler, but instead it has their new 3D heat pipe arrangement. This is the 22 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,400 Cooler Master V4, and it is an 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,479 incredibly interesting cooler. Now, how 24 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:47,040 they have done this is instead of having your typical heat pipe where it just 25 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:52,240 goes down, around and up, they have drilled a hole into that heat pipe and 26 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,880 soldered on another heat pipe. And this has a very interesting advantage. 27 00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:02,079 Looking at a heat sink that only has heat pipes on either side, you can see 28 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:07,680 that a lot of the cooling is only happening at the sides. And then we have 29 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:11,039 a cold spot right here and right here. Here you can also see where the fan hub 30 00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:15,120 is, it gets a little bit warmer because there's not as much air flow there. But 31 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,959 you can also very clearly tell that where there's no heat pipes, there's not 32 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:23,360 a whole lot of heat. But moving over to our new 3D heat pipe model, you can see 33 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:27,680 that there are heat pipes going straight up the center. And that means that 34 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,000 there's well cooling happening across the whole thing. There's a much more 35 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:35,519 even temperature across the entire heat sink. And you can still see that there's 36 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:39,760 a little bit of a hot spot where the fan hub is. But unfortunately, Cooler Master 37 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,720 hasn't figured out how to make magic fans that don't require hubs. So, they 38 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,800 haven't figured that one out yet, but it is getting so much more heat in this 39 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,959 middle here and cooling a lot more efficiently. Now, they don't have exact 40 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:58,560 numbers for how much this will be able to cool, but it'll do more than 250 W 41 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,879 for sure. They're still tweaking things, so they might be able to get more than 42 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:07,920 that. An interesting way to show that this is actually working is that the 43 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:12,239 heat sink counterintuitively is hotter on the 3D heat pipe version. So these 44 00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:18,879 benches are set up so each CPU is running at 75 watts and the fan is 45 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:21,680 running at 700 RPM. And if we look here, 46 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:26,360 the heat pipe on the 3D cooler is hitting uh 47 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:34,400 35.6 35.8. The fins are all right around 48 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,840 35.2 to 4. Whereas we move over to the 49 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:41,840 standard heat sink, we can see that in 50 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:44,480 some places were around 34 and a bit 51 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:49,840 degrees on the fins. Even I saw 33 for a second there. The heat pipes themselves 52 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,080 are around 36. But by seeing that the 53 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,560 cooler itself is hotter, that means your CPU is cooler because your cooler is 54 00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:01,040 getting more heat out of it. But as I mentioned at the start of this, creating 55 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,480 this thing right here is incredibly difficult. And the reliability of the 56 00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:07,760 manufacturing process is not the best. 57 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,000 At the moment, they say that there's about a 50% success rate of 58 00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:15,680 manufacturing this and getting the solder to take. Now, you don't have to 59 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:19,919 worry about getting a cooler with a broken heat pipe on it. They test all of 60 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,000 them individually, but it is pretty expensive to throw half of your batch in 61 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:29,680 the bin and start over with the soldering. That said though, this is not 62 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:32,000 some crazy expensive high-end cooler. 63 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:38,080 They are targeting this much more at the mainstream. And at the moment, this dual 64 00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:39,680 fan version right here is maybe $50. It 65 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:44,560 might be a bit less, it might be a bit more, but with tariffs and it's still 66 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:50,800 getting iterated on. I cannot say for sure. Right now they're targeting a late 67 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,880 Q3, early Q4 launch, but they want to 68 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:57,280 make sure that it's really solid and really performant before they do that. 69 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:02,160 So hopefully we see it soon. What's available right now though is this segue 70 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:06,560 to our sponsor SY. Thanks to SY for sponsoring our 2025 Computedex coverage. 71 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,160 Traveling abroad can be scary, but with proper preparation, you can rest a bit 72 00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:14,240 easier, and that includes knowing you'll have access to all the necessary apps 73 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,919 and resources you need. With Saley's ESIM plans, you're covered in over 200 74 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,600 destinations, which means you'll get connected as soon as you land. Simply 75 00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:25,280 set up the app before you fly out and leave your worries behind. And if you 76 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:29,080 run into any issues along the way, their 247 chat support is there to lend a 77 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,120 hand. So head over to s.com/shortcircuit or download the app 78 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:37,360 and use code shortcircuit for 15% off their EIM plans. Moving on to some more 79 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:42,000 cases, though. This is their master frame series. And over the last 10 80 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,080 years, they have been putting in a whole bunch of effort to make their cases way 81 00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:50,000 more modular and way more configurable. And this is kind of the end game of it. 82 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,800 What they have done is they have extruded aluminum that's able to get 83 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:59,280 screwed into these guys right here so that you can completely change around 84 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:04,800 the configuration of your case. This means that you can have it horizontal or 85 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:09,600 vertical or either. You can just change it around if you so please. Looking at 86 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:14,400 the back of this case, Cooler Master has also completely done away with rivets. 87 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:19,440 So now there's screws all over the place here. And each one of these blocks is 88 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:24,560 totally modular. So for whatever reason you want a '90s style case, you can take 89 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:28,400 your whole PSU shroud, pop her out, stick it up at the top, and now you have 90 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,560 a power supply that's up at the top of your case. Another advantage of this is 91 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,160 that with your normal computer case, you might set it up like this and you can 92 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:40,319 only have it on the right side of your desk, but maybe you want on the left 93 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:45,120 side of your desk. In the past, that means buy a whole new computer case. 94 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:50,639 With this though, because all of it's modular, you can take it all apart, swap 95 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:54,240 it all around, and next thing you know, you can have your computer case on the 96 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,880 lefth hand side of your desk. And it's just that, not very simple, but you can 97 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,639 do it. That was largely practical stuff, but you can also do fancy things as 98 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:06,639 well. On the front, they have a 99 00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:09,840 removable front panel with some, oh my 100 00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:12,800 god, really strong magnets, but you can 101 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:19,039 take off the mesh, see these beautiful 200 mm fans. And if you so choose, you 102 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,280 can make them entirely ineffective by putting something like slate in front of 103 00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:26,479 it. This right here seals completely against the front and completely 104 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:30,639 eliminates those fans from being effective. Fortunately though, you could 105 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:35,199 just move them to the side over here and you will still have cooling for your 106 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,160 case and very cool slate. The Master 107 00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:43,039 Frame 600 will come in at $200 with this mesh panel and more like $250 if you 108 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,720 want one of the fancy wood or rock panels on the front. Now, because of the 109 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:52,000 modular nature of the Master Frame series, they're able to do stuff like have that aluminum extrusion just end 110 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:57,199 and turn around instead of going down. Like in this Master Frame 360 panoramic, 111 00:07:54,639 --> 00:08:00,800 you're able to see so many of your components and it looks absolutely 112 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:05,520 sweet. But maybe your Pride and Joy isn't your computer. So, they have the 113 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:09,840 Master Frame stage. This guy right here allows you to display a figurine or 114 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,280 something with a whole screen behind it. So, instead of looking at your computer, 115 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,639 you can look at your accomplishments. Maybe you put a trophy here or 116 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:20,479 something. One idea that Glenn had is you could have a waterfall on the screen 117 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:26,560 and add in a bunch of little trees and stuff here for a nice little diarama, I 118 00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:31,759 guess. Either way, I love it. Another really neat idea is the Cooling X Pro 119 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:37,279 where they don't just have displays for your CPU and GPU temperatures, but they 120 00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:42,320 actually have it with these analog dials that move around to tell you exactly how 121 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:47,279 hot your system is running or cool, I guess. They also have the Elite 690 122 00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:49,760 wood, which has wood on the front. Unfortunately, that will not be 123 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:55,920 available in North America. So, let's move on. What we will be getting though is the Master Fan XT. This guy right 124 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,839 here has all metal around the outside, all metal on the inside. And with that 125 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:04,640 aluminum, they're able to really crank up the speeds and the danger. This thing 126 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,720 right here spins at 4,000 RPM, and I imagine people getting their fingies 127 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,240 stuck in it will be a very bad time. I cannot wait to car test it in the 128 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,360 office. They did say that there is going to be a mesh that you can put over front 129 00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:19,279 of it they will include with their consumer versions, but that will reduce 130 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,440 your performance, so no one's going to use it. I cannot wait for this to be a 131 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,600 problem. One spot they encourage you to stick your fingers though is on the new 132 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:33,519 master hub. This guy right here is a totally reconfigurable little dock 133 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,760 thingy for streamers or gamers or anyone 134 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:39,839 that just appreciates a dial for their home automation. You can totally 135 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:44,560 reconfigure this with LCD screens and the like. And it's pretty neat. It 136 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:50,000 should be on sale today or yesterday. What also is modular is the new Master 137 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:52,560 Liquid Atmos 2 AIO. This guy right here 138 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:57,480 has metal for all of the fans combined, which looks really sweet, I think. And 139 00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:03,200 also, you can pop off this guy right here and install whatever front you want 140 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,839 on your AIO. Maybe you want to just say cooler master. Or maybe you want this 141 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:13,120 cool little display. Neat. Also neat is they're 142 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:18,800 getting into GPUs sort of. This is intended to go on a 590 Astro from ASUS. 143 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:23,440 And it's also intended to be sold only by SIS for the most part, but the 144 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:27,279 innovation that they have is that it's very easy to service. So, one of the 145 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:32,320 main things that will die on a GPU is the fan. So, they have changed it so 146 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:36,160 that the user can go in there and swap out the fan if needed, and they don't 147 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,640 void the warranty. You don't have to take off the cooler and the heat sink 148 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:45,200 and everything from your GPU and do all that nasty stuff. Nope. Just a couple of 149 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:50,240 bolts along the side. You can take it off. And as you see, the fans are very 150 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:54,560 easy to replace. And finally, they have a racing simulator. This isn't anything 151 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:58,880 new. I just really wanted to use it. So, huge thanks for watching, guys. Hit 152 00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:05,760 like, get subscribed, and I hope you have a great old day. I certainly am at 153 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,760 the moment. See you.
