Cooler Master MasterAir Pro 3 & Pro 4 CPU Cooler Review

Cooler Master is no slouch when it comes to CPU cooling solutions. Today they'€™re introducing two new products to the MasterAir series, called the MasterAir Pro 3 and MasterAir Pro 4. Previously the MasterAir series was only comprised of the Maker 8, which is a highly decked out air cooler, included dual LED fans, and overall the cooler is pretty pricey. The coolers that we'€™re looking at today are a quite a bit more budget friendly and include a single non-LED fan a€“ needless to say, they'€™re not as fancy, but still designed to be a very good general cooler.

Cooler Master MasterAir Pro 4 & MasterAir Pro 3 CPU Coolers Review

Cooler Master has been a pretty big player in the air cooling market. Their Hyper Series of air coolers have been a favorite of system builders and enthusiasts for a long while. Since those coolers have been out many years now Cooler Master is today announcing the MasterAir Pro Series. This series is again targeted at system builders and people who are looking for a good air cooler that won’t break the bank. The MasterAir Pro Series is made up of 2 coolers, the MasterAir Pro 4 and MasterAir Pro 3. The MasterAir Pro 4 is made for typical builds, features four heatpipes, and has a 120 mm fan. The MasterAir Pro 3 on the other hand is made for smaller builds with three heatpipes and a 92 mm fan. Can these new coolers live up to the legacy of the Hyper Series? Read on as we find out!

Cooler Master MasterAir Pro CPU Heatsink Roundup

One of the most popular and best selling heatsinks is the Cooler Master Hyper 212. I was able to review this cooler when it first launched eight years ago and then again two more times as Cooler Master revised the design. The current iteration called the Hyper 212 Evo was released in 2011 and uses the same four heatpipe 120mm tower configuration with a revised core contact design to increase performance. While the cooler is very basic and won’t set any overclocking records it does come with an excellent price to performance ratio at an extremely attractive price point.

Over the years many companies have tried to capitalize on the popularity of the Hyper 212 Evo market with very little success. The fact that market demand for the Hyper 212 is still high after five years on the market says a lot about the product and/or how affordable it is especially as a replacement cooler for OEM configurations.

In this review I’ll be looking at the next generation of the Hyper 212 called the MasterAir Pro 4 and MasterAir Pro 3. While there are some similarities to the Hyper 212 cooler it is not a replacement but rather a new generation cooler using the latest Cooler Master MasterFans and a few cosmetic upgrades. The new MasterAir Pro coolers are also priced higher than the existing Hyper 212 Evo and offer a number of enhancements for the money.

DeepCool GamerStorm Genome Review

Over the last two years, Deepcool has given me the opportunity to review three of their liquid cooler AIO (all-in-one) systems designed to meet the needs of PC enthusiasts for high end work or gaming. Now Deepcool has shipped me another cooling solution to review, but this AIO system also incorporates an ATX case; or perhaps I should say an ATX case that comes preinstalled with a liquid cooler AIO system, allowing to user to install their system components for that over the top setup.

Deepcool first introduced the GamerStorm Captain Genome cooling system at the CES 2016 trade show, which is essentially an ATX case that comes with a 360mm radiator with three 120mm fans. As part of the cooling system, Deepcool uses their patented SS design cooler head then added a fabulous double-helix reservoir that is viewable through the front panel.

The Deepcool GamerStorm Genome comes in three color options; black with green, black with red and white with blue. The case offers no external drive bays, as the integrated reservoir takes up the front panel that does not include a front intake fan, but does include a rear 120mm fan. All of the internal drive trays are on the cable management side of the case, so that should make for a very neat cable management setup as the power supply is partially hidden at the bottom of the case.

Lian Li PC-Q17 Mini-ITX Case Review

Mini-ITX as a form-factor is definitely a fast-growing trend. Technology has advanced to the point where you can build a system as a powerful as a regular mid-tower desktop, but in a case with a tiny footprint. The Lian Li PC-Q17 caters to that market – those looking for a premium-grade experience without the clutter and hassle of an ATX case.

Master & Dynamic ME01 Earphones

In this review we will be stepping away from the video game segment in order to look at a set of earphones primarily intended to be used for enjoying music. What we have is the Master & Dynamic ME01 earphones, one of three models of earphones that they now offer in their expanding lineup of premium audio devices. The first thing that grabbed my eye is the understated, yet sophisticated aesthetic.

Tables Turn As Microsoft Innovates While Apple Iterates

For years, Apple has championed its ability to control every aspect of the products that it designs and builds, including the operating system. Apple has used this tight integration to great effect with both its iPhone smartphone family and its lineup of Mac desktops and notebooks, tying them all together with iCloud. Historically, Microsoft relied on ecosystem partners and OEMs to build machines that make use of its software products. However, the company came around to its own branded product portfolio approach with its Surface/Surface Pro line of tablets and expanded that vision with the Surface Book and most recently, the Surface Studio.

But in Microsoft’s move to compete with Apple’s strategy and have total control over the software and hardware for its branded consumer PCs, is the former doing more to advance design and ergonomics than the latter?
