We're here at the Cooler Master headquarters at Comp Computex 2025. We
are looking at some incredibly cool stuff here. Starting off with the Cosmos
2025. This right here, you you've seen the Cosmos before. Very good looking
case, but this one is very special. First of all, water cooling. Second of
all, it has a bunch of foam on the front. This is aluminum, and it's sort
of like you do casting really bad, and it looks awesome. But most exciting is
around the back they have a 360x 360 radiator, meaning this thing is
going to cool so much. Now, depending on
if you want this to be an air cooled or water cooled system, the entire
motherboard tray is able to move forwards and backwards to either give
you more room for fans or more rooms for that absolutely massive radiator. We
also have custommade water blocks. This one right here is for the 5090 stricks.
and also this really cool distribution panel. Now, at the moment, we do not
have pricing because things might get a little bit changed. So, one thing that
you could change Cooler Master is the pump. This right here, as far as I can
tell, is a single DDC. And in my experience, those love to stop working.
So, maybe a single D5 or two DDC's would
be really appreciated in this guy just so it's a bit more reliable. And
speaking of reliability, reliably making this cooler was an incredible challenge
for them because it's not a normal CPU
cooler, but instead it has their new 3D heat pipe arrangement. This is the
Cooler Master V4, and it is an
incredibly interesting cooler. Now, how
they have done this is instead of having your typical heat pipe where it just
goes down, around and up, they have drilled a hole into that heat pipe and
soldered on another heat pipe. And this has a very interesting advantage.
Looking at a heat sink that only has heat pipes on either side, you can see
that a lot of the cooling is only happening at the sides. And then we have
a cold spot right here and right here. Here you can also see where the fan hub
is, it gets a little bit warmer because there's not as much air flow there. But
you can also very clearly tell that where there's no heat pipes, there's not
a whole lot of heat. But moving over to our new 3D heat pipe model, you can see
that there are heat pipes going straight up the center. And that means that
there's well cooling happening across the whole thing. There's a much more
even temperature across the entire heat sink. And you can still see that there's
a little bit of a hot spot where the fan hub is. But unfortunately, Cooler Master
hasn't figured out how to make magic fans that don't require hubs. So, they
haven't figured that one out yet, but it is getting so much more heat in this
middle here and cooling a lot more efficiently. Now, they don't have exact
numbers for how much this will be able to cool, but it'll do more than 250 W
for sure. They're still tweaking things, so they might be able to get more than
that. An interesting way to show that this is actually working is that the
heat sink counterintuitively is hotter on the 3D heat pipe version. So these
benches are set up so each CPU is running at 75 watts and the fan is
running at 700 RPM. And if we look here,
the heat pipe on the 3D cooler is hitting uh
35.6 35.8. The fins are all right around
35.2 to 4. Whereas we move over to the
standard heat sink, we can see that in
some places were around 34 and a bit
degrees on the fins. Even I saw 33 for a second there. The heat pipes themselves
are around 36. But by seeing that the
cooler itself is hotter, that means your CPU is cooler because your cooler is
getting more heat out of it. But as I mentioned at the start of this, creating
this thing right here is incredibly difficult. And the reliability of the
manufacturing process is not the best.
At the moment, they say that there's about a 50% success rate of
manufacturing this and getting the solder to take. Now, you don't have to
worry about getting a cooler with a broken heat pipe on it. They test all of
them individually, but it is pretty expensive to throw half of your batch in
the bin and start over with the soldering. That said though, this is not
some crazy expensive high-end cooler.
They are targeting this much more at the mainstream. And at the moment, this dual
fan version right here is maybe $50. It
might be a bit less, it might be a bit more, but with tariffs and it's still
getting iterated on. I cannot say for sure. Right now they're targeting a late
Q3, early Q4 launch, but they want to
make sure that it's really solid and really performant before they do that.
So hopefully we see it soon. What's available right now though is this segue
to our sponsor SY. Thanks to SY for sponsoring our 2025 Computedex coverage.
Traveling abroad can be scary, but with proper preparation, you can rest a bit
easier, and that includes knowing you'll have access to all the necessary apps
and resources you need. With Saley's ESIM plans, you're covered in over 200
destinations, which means you'll get connected as soon as you land. Simply
set up the app before you fly out and leave your worries behind. And if you
run into any issues along the way, their 247 chat support is there to lend a
hand. So head over to s.com/shortcircuit or download the app
and use code shortcircuit for 15% off their EIM plans. Moving on to some more
cases, though. This is their master frame series. And over the last 10
years, they have been putting in a whole bunch of effort to make their cases way
more modular and way more configurable. And this is kind of the end game of it.
What they have done is they have extruded aluminum that's able to get
screwed into these guys right here so that you can completely change around
the configuration of your case. This means that you can have it horizontal or
vertical or either. You can just change it around if you so please. Looking at
the back of this case, Cooler Master has also completely done away with rivets.
So now there's screws all over the place here. And each one of these blocks is
totally modular. So for whatever reason you want a '90s style case, you can take
your whole PSU shroud, pop her out, stick it up at the top, and now you have
a power supply that's up at the top of your case. Another advantage of this is
that with your normal computer case, you might set it up like this and you can
only have it on the right side of your desk, but maybe you want on the left
side of your desk. In the past, that means buy a whole new computer case.
With this though, because all of it's modular, you can take it all apart, swap
it all around, and next thing you know, you can have your computer case on the
lefth hand side of your desk. And it's just that, not very simple, but you can
do it. That was largely practical stuff, but you can also do fancy things as
well. On the front, they have a
removable front panel with some, oh my
god, really strong magnets, but you can
take off the mesh, see these beautiful 200 mm fans. And if you so choose, you
can make them entirely ineffective by putting something like slate in front of
it. This right here seals completely against the front and completely
eliminates those fans from being effective. Fortunately though, you could
just move them to the side over here and you will still have cooling for your
case and very cool slate. The Master
Frame 600 will come in at $200 with this mesh panel and more like $250 if you
want one of the fancy wood or rock panels on the front. Now, because of the
modular nature of the Master Frame series, they're able to do stuff like have that aluminum extrusion just end
and turn around instead of going down. Like in this Master Frame 360 panoramic,
you're able to see so many of your components and it looks absolutely
sweet. But maybe your Pride and Joy isn't your computer. So, they have the
Master Frame stage. This guy right here allows you to display a figurine or
something with a whole screen behind it. So, instead of looking at your computer,
you can look at your accomplishments. Maybe you put a trophy here or
something. One idea that Glenn had is you could have a waterfall on the screen
and add in a bunch of little trees and stuff here for a nice little diarama, I
guess. Either way, I love it. Another really neat idea is the Cooling X Pro
where they don't just have displays for your CPU and GPU temperatures, but they
actually have it with these analog dials that move around to tell you exactly how
hot your system is running or cool, I guess. They also have the Elite 690
wood, which has wood on the front. Unfortunately, that will not be
available in North America. So, let's move on. What we will be getting though is the Master Fan XT. This guy right
here has all metal around the outside, all metal on the inside. And with that
aluminum, they're able to really crank up the speeds and the danger. This thing
right here spins at 4,000 RPM, and I imagine people getting their fingies
stuck in it will be a very bad time. I cannot wait to car test it in the
office. They did say that there is going to be a mesh that you can put over front
of it they will include with their consumer versions, but that will reduce
your performance, so no one's going to use it. I cannot wait for this to be a
problem. One spot they encourage you to stick your fingers though is on the new
master hub. This guy right here is a totally reconfigurable little dock
thingy for streamers or gamers or anyone
that just appreciates a dial for their home automation. You can totally
reconfigure this with LCD screens and the like. And it's pretty neat. It
should be on sale today or yesterday. What also is modular is the new Master
Liquid Atmos 2 AIO. This guy right here
has metal for all of the fans combined, which looks really sweet, I think. And
also, you can pop off this guy right here and install whatever front you want
on your AIO. Maybe you want to just say cooler master. Or maybe you want this
cool little display. Neat. Also neat is they're
getting into GPUs sort of. This is intended to go on a 590 Astro from ASUS.
And it's also intended to be sold only by SIS for the most part, but the
innovation that they have is that it's very easy to service. So, one of the
main things that will die on a GPU is the fan. So, they have changed it so
that the user can go in there and swap out the fan if needed, and they don't
void the warranty. You don't have to take off the cooler and the heat sink
and everything from your GPU and do all that nasty stuff. Nope. Just a couple of
bolts along the side. You can take it off. And as you see, the fans are very
easy to replace. And finally, they have a racing simulator. This isn't anything
new. I just really wanted to use it. So, huge thanks for watching, guys. Hit
like, get subscribed, and I hope you have a great old day. I certainly am at
the moment. See you.
