00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:07.359
our trip to the show this year is powered by Squarespace remember guys head over to squarespace.com and build

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:10.120
your beautiful website today so we're here in The Cooler Master Suite where

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:16.359
they've got a couple things on display number one is a

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:18.439
$130 air cooler what Su justification

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:22.000
for that I'm glad you asked because there are a couple of things that

00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:27.039
they're pretty proud of here number one is the performance obviously they're

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:29.119
saying that it's competitive with even

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:31.720
pretty good all-in-one liquid coolers which actually makes a ton of sense to

00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:37.320
me since it wouldn't be the only high-end air cooler that is competitive

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.000
with high-end aios what's also

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:43.200
interesting about it is they've actually redesigned the bottom plate to instead

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.280
of just have a vapor chamber with some heat pipes kind of duct tape to it now

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:50.520
it's actually got four heat pipes directly integrated into the vapor

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:56.879
Chamber Something that they're calling a 3D Vapor chamber now there's more though

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:01.800
and it's that maker word that Cooler Master has been on about and on about

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:07.000
over the last I don't know I guess ever since they launched the master case and

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:11.600
that is the modularity of the design so in addition to coming with two of their

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.119
pressure optimized fans you've got swappable shrouds you can be like oh it

00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:18.920
comes with 140s I actually want to use 120s I want a little bit more clearance

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:23.680
for the RAM or motherboard components or whatever else it's also got a swappable

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:28.200
top plate so you can dramatically change the look of the heat sink if you're into

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:32.360
that sort of thing but lonus will they support it with accessories and if you'd

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.560
asked me this back when they launched the master case 5 originally I'd have

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:40.240
said I don't know I mean we've had a lot of case makers promise US accessories

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.880
and upgrades and it's never really happened but it looks like they're

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:48.759
actually serious about this I mean look at all this stuff behind me for the M

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.240
the original master case 5 and master case Pro five as well as the new master

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:56.960
case maker 5 that they're launching here at the show so they've got the original

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:02.159
normal and windowed side panels but boom now we've got a noise dampening side

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:05.360
panel and my personal favorite a

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.640
tempered glass side panel with a lock on

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:10.479
the top I am really liking that one

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:13.239
there's also a new top panel cover so instead of being stuck with just mesh

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.560
now they've got one that gives you the choice between mesh and just a straight

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:19.480
cover with a magnetic wh look at that

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.040
clipping mechanism whoops this right here is the

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:28.840
front panel from the new master case maker 5 and this one has this cool

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:33.080
little sort of magnetic system where you can pop off that front flat panel and

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.640
you can decide okay I want more air flow but none of this is actually what I just

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:40.760
said was happening which was accessories for those original

00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:44.480
cases here is where you've got my attention they are actually designing

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:48.920
things to mount to that kind of like that rail clipon system thing that

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:52.720
they've got over on the right hand side of the motherboard tray so this guy

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:56.280
right here is an airflow duct that allows you to control the length of the

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:01.519
duct so depending on the positioning of your PCI Express power ports or whatever

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:05.200
else the case may may be as well as the position within the case so whether

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.319
you're trying to aim at one top card two cards that are kind of spread out in SLI

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:14.120
or even at the CPU itself if you have no need for optical drives this will take

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:19.640
care of you and this one right here I've actually been a victim of uh video card

00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:24.720
seg myself and while most of the solutions that I've ever seen to address

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:28.319
this have been extraordinarily cluggy

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.519
this simple wire with a couple of little

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:37.040
you know single thumb screw um you know feet here actually looks

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:40.799
surprisingly good when installed in a case that's you know done up and cable

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:46.319
managed as opposed to some of the stuff I've seen before that's just like yeah here's like basically like a tripod leg

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:51.720
that you can kind of put on the bottom of your case and kind of hope that it stays in place but I still wouldn't

00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:57.159
blame you for not being that impressed at this point I mean what is this a couple of accessories for a case that's

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.640
been available for how long Linus no this is where they are starting to get

00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:05.480
my attention and where that whole maker Spirit thing starts to really actually

00:04:03.640 --> 00:04:10.200
make some sense Cooler Master is working on developing a marketplace where they

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:14.640
can enable modders to create their own accessories and sell them through Cooler

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:19.359
Master ecosystem to allow people who own these cases to continue to get a lot of

00:04:17.239 --> 00:04:23.840
mileage out of them moving into the future so this guy right here has got a

00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:27.240
custom top panel a custom power supply cover a custom front panel they're also

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:32.479
showing off some custom cables all of this is from primochill this one right

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:33.560
here oh man Bill Owen does such mnpc

00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:38.039
tech for those of you who aren't familiar with his name does such amazing

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.320
like aluminum fan grills so we've got this right here we've got look at this

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:46.320
custom power supply cover so it's got a four pin Molex connector in the back for

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:51.520
this like sick lighting effect and there's all kinds of amazing stuff that

00:04:49.400 --> 00:04:55.880
I would expect to be available through this store that would allow you to

00:04:52.840 --> 00:04:58.360
really get more out of this case if they

00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:03.120
can pull it off then you would be able to if there wasn't a manufacturer

00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:06.840
enabling this kind of a market if you just have to go through the forums and

00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:10.600
kind of hope for the best they'll have to find ways to manage the quality and

00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:15.240
the accountability of the whole process but if they can then they might have

00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:20.479
actually finally found the thing that makes the master case more than just

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:25.919
another case so don't miss any of our CES 2016 coverage by the way by being

00:05:22.919 --> 00:05:27.440
