Several years ago, water cooling was limited to high-end custom builds that enthusiasts with deep pockets would show off at all the tech shows. Remember the first time you saw a water cooling system on a computer? Talk about the "wow!" factor. I remember...

Cooler Master has refreshed its MasterLiquid Pro range of allinone coolers, adding two new models based on 140mm fans and moving to braided tubing. The MasterLiquid Pro 280 has the largest radiator of the range and is thus the flagship model, and it's t...
While the mounting process could use a little work, there's little else to complain about with this cooler. It doesn't feature fancy RGB lighting or software-based LED/fan control, but we reckon most users will see these as frivolous extras anyway, and it...

The MasterLiquid Pro 280 performed very well under heavy load. However, it performed excellent under a moderate load, such as gaming or light benchmarking, For example, overclocked to 4.5 GHz while gaming for well over an hour, my 4690k never went over 62...

The Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 280 is the larger radiator version of the previously reviewed MasterLiquid Pro 240 which was released a month prior. Utilizing two large 140mm fans instead of a pair of 120's for active radiator cooling, the MasterLiquid...
It is easy to think of the MasterLiquid Pro 280 as a hulking brute force of cooling, but beneath the domineering size there is also a surprising finesse. It does not rely solely on high-RPM fans (which it does have), nor does it fall back on simply having...

It's fair to say that 240mm AIOs as opposed to 280mm AIOs represent the sweet spot in the AIO market. Why so? Well the answers simple. Although the 280s often provide better performance, they won't fit in as many cases as the 240s will, and so, the 240s w...

Cooler Master's MasterLiquid Pro coolers improve on the company's already-impressive Nepton series of heatsinks. They're just as easy to mount as their predecessors, and even with their fans in their "silent" mode, these all-in-ones are more than up to t...
