WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.200 We're here at the Cooler Master headquarters at Comp Computex 2025. We 00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:12.480 are looking at some incredibly cool stuff here. Starting off with the Cosmos 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:16.320 2025. This right here, you you've seen the Cosmos before. Very good looking 00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:21.600 case, but this one is very special. First of all, water cooling. Second of 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 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:32.280 of like you do casting really bad, and it looks awesome. But most exciting is 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:39.280 around the back they have a 360x 360 radiator, meaning this thing is 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:41.200 going to cool so much. Now, depending on 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.719 if you want this to be an air cooled or water cooled system, the entire 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.960 motherboard tray is able to move forwards and backwards to either give 00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:54.079 you more room for fans or more rooms for that absolutely massive radiator. We 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:58.879 also have custommade water blocks. This one right here is for the 5090 stricks. 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.359 and also this really cool distribution panel. Now, at the moment, we do not 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.479 have pricing because things might get a little bit changed. So, one thing that 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.080 you could change Cooler Master is the pump. This right here, as far as I can 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:15.920 tell, is a single DDC. And in my experience, those love to stop working. 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:17.759 So, maybe a single D5 or two DDC's would 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.560 be really appreciated in this guy just so it's a bit more reliable. And 00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:28.640 speaking of reliability, reliably making this cooler was an incredible challenge 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:31.200 for them because it's not a normal CPU 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:36.600 cooler, but instead it has their new 3D heat pipe arrangement. This is the 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.400 Cooler Master V4, and it is an 00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:42.479 incredibly interesting cooler. Now, how 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:47.040 they have done this is instead of having your typical heat pipe where it just 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:52.240 goes down, around and up, they have drilled a hole into that heat pipe and 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:56.880 soldered on another heat pipe. And this has a very interesting advantage. 00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:02.079 Looking at a heat sink that only has heat pipes on either side, you can see 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:07.680 that a lot of the cooling is only happening at the sides. And then we have 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 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 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.959 you can also very clearly tell that where there's no heat pipes, there's not 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 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:27.680 that there are heat pipes going straight up the center. And that means that 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.000 there's well cooling happening across the whole thing. There's a much more 00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:35.519 even temperature across the entire heat sink. And you can still see that there's 00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:39.760 a little bit of a hot spot where the fan hub is. But unfortunately, Cooler Master 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:44.720 hasn't figured out how to make magic fans that don't require hubs. So, they 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 00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:52.959 middle here and cooling a lot more efficiently. Now, they don't have exact 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 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.879 for sure. They're still tweaking things, so they might be able to get more than 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:07.920 that. An interesting way to show that this is actually working is that the 00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:12.239 heat sink counterintuitively is hotter on the 3D heat pipe version. So these 00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:18.879 benches are set up so each CPU is running at 75 watts and the fan is 00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:21.680 running at 700 RPM. And if we look here, 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:26.360 the heat pipe on the 3D cooler is hitting uh 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:34.400 35.6 35.8. The fins are all right around 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:37.840 35.2 to 4. Whereas we move over to the 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:41.840 standard heat sink, we can see that in 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:44.480 some places were around 34 and a bit 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:49.840 degrees on the fins. Even I saw 33 for a second there. The heat pipes themselves 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.080 are around 36. But by seeing that the 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.560 cooler itself is hotter, that means your CPU is cooler because your cooler is 00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:01.040 getting more heat out of it. But as I mentioned at the start of this, creating 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:06.480 this thing right here is incredibly difficult. And the reliability of the 00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:07.760 manufacturing process is not the best. 00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:12.000 At the moment, they say that there's about a 50% success rate of 00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:15.680 manufacturing this and getting the solder to take. Now, you don't have to 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:19.919 worry about getting a cooler with a broken heat pipe on it. They test all of 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.000 them individually, but it is pretty expensive to throw half of your batch in 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:29.680 the bin and start over with the soldering. That said though, this is not 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.000 some crazy expensive high-end cooler. 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:38.080 They are targeting this much more at the mainstream. And at the moment, this dual 00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:39.680 fan version right here is maybe $50. It 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 00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:50.800 getting iterated on. I cannot say for sure. Right now they're targeting a late 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.880 Q3, early Q4 launch, but they want to 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:57.280 make sure that it's really solid and really performant before they do that. 00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:02.160 So hopefully we see it soon. What's available right now though is this segue 00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:06.560 to our sponsor SY. Thanks to SY for sponsoring our 2025 Computedex coverage. 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.160 Traveling abroad can be scary, but with proper preparation, you can rest a bit 00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:14.240 easier, and that includes knowing you'll have access to all the necessary apps 00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:17.919 and resources you need. With Saley's ESIM plans, you're covered in over 200 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.600 destinations, which means you'll get connected as soon as you land. Simply 00:05:19.919 --> 00:05:25.280 set up the app before you fly out and leave your worries behind. And if you 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.080 run into any issues along the way, their 247 chat support is there to lend a 00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:33.120 hand. So head over to s.com/shortcircuit or download the app 00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:37.360 and use code shortcircuit for 15% off their EIM plans. Moving on to some more 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:42.000 cases, though. This is their master frame series. And over the last 10 00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:46.080 years, they have been putting in a whole bunch of effort to make their cases way 00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:50.000 more modular and way more configurable. And this is kind of the end game of it. 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:54.800 What they have done is they have extruded aluminum that's able to get 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:59.280 screwed into these guys right here so that you can completely change around 00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:04.800 the configuration of your case. This means that you can have it horizontal or 00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:09.600 vertical or either. You can just change it around if you so please. Looking at 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:14.400 the back of this case, Cooler Master has also completely done away with rivets. 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 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:24.560 totally modular. So for whatever reason you want a '90s style case, you can take 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 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 00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:36.160 that with your normal computer case, you might set it up like this and you can 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 00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:45.120 side of your desk. In the past, that means buy a whole new computer case. 00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:50.639 With this though, because all of it's modular, you can take it all apart, swap 00:06:47.840 --> 00:06:54.240 it all around, and next thing you know, you can have your computer case on the 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 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:03.639 do it. That was largely practical stuff, but you can also do fancy things as 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:06.639 well. On the front, they have a 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.840 removable front panel with some, oh my 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:12.800 god, really strong magnets, but you can 00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:19.039 take off the mesh, see these beautiful 200 mm fans. And if you so choose, you 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.280 can make them entirely ineffective by putting something like slate in front of 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.479 it. This right here seals completely against the front and completely 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:30.639 eliminates those fans from being effective. Fortunately though, you could 00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:35.199 just move them to the side over here and you will still have cooling for your 00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:38.160 case and very cool slate. The Master 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 00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:46.720 want one of the fancy wood or rock panels on the front. Now, because of the 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 00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:57.199 and turn around instead of going down. Like in this Master Frame 360 panoramic, 00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:00.800 you're able to see so many of your components and it looks absolutely 00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:05.520 sweet. But maybe your Pride and Joy isn't your computer. So, they have the 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:09.840 Master Frame stage. This guy right here allows you to display a figurine or 00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:13.280 something with a whole screen behind it. So, instead of looking at your computer, 00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:16.639 you can look at your accomplishments. Maybe you put a trophy here or 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:20.479 something. One idea that Glenn had is you could have a waterfall on the screen 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 00:08:23.919 --> 00:08:31.759 guess. Either way, I love it. Another really neat idea is the Cooling X Pro 00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:37.279 where they don't just have displays for your CPU and GPU temperatures, but they 00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:42.320 actually have it with these analog dials that move around to tell you exactly how 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:47.279 hot your system is running or cool, I guess. They also have the Elite 690 00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:49.760 wood, which has wood on the front. Unfortunately, that will not be 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 00:08:53.920 --> 00:08:59.839 here has all metal around the outside, all metal on the inside. And with that 00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:04.640 aluminum, they're able to really crank up the speeds and the danger. This thing 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:08.720 right here spins at 4,000 RPM, and I imagine people getting their fingies 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 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 00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:19.279 of it they will include with their consumer versions, but that will reduce 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 00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:27.600 problem. One spot they encourage you to stick your fingers though is on the new 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:33.519 master hub. This guy right here is a totally reconfigurable little dock 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.760 thingy for streamers or gamers or anyone 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.839 that just appreciates a dial for their home automation. You can totally 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:44.560 reconfigure this with LCD screens and the like. And it's pretty neat. It 00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:50.000 should be on sale today or yesterday. What also is modular is the new Master 00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:52.560 Liquid Atmos 2 AIO. This guy right here 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:57.480 has metal for all of the fans combined, which looks really sweet, I think. And 00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:03.200 also, you can pop off this guy right here and install whatever front you want 00:10:00.640 --> 00:10:06.839 on your AIO. Maybe you want to just say cooler master. Or maybe you want this 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:13.120 cool little display. Neat. Also neat is they're 00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:18.800 getting into GPUs sort of. This is intended to go on a 590 Astro from ASUS. 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 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:27.279 innovation that they have is that it's very easy to service. So, one of the 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 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 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:40.640 void the warranty. You don't have to take off the cooler and the heat sink 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:45.200 and everything from your GPU and do all that nasty stuff. Nope. Just a couple of 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 00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:54.560 easy to replace. And finally, they have a racing simulator. This isn't anything 00:10:52.160 --> 00:10:58.880 new. I just really wanted to use it. So, huge thanks for watching, guys. Hit 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:05.760 like, get subscribed, and I hope you have a great old day. I certainly am at 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.760 the moment. See you.
