Cooler Master’s influence in the realm of PC cooling is undeniable. Well known for products like the classic Hyper 212 Evo air cooler and its giant HAF series of PC cases amongst other offerings, the company has recently been expanding its offerings even further, with its MasterHub modular Stream Deck competitor impressing us at Computex recently.
I was also impressed when I demoed the company’s Cooling X pre-built system at CES, an interesting fanless pre-built computer, that features a 7950X3D and RTX 4080 in a unique liquid loop, which utilizes the computer case to act as a giant heatsink to cool the components effectively without fans.
Next month, Cooler Master will also be launching its new MasterControl software which will offer control of cooling and other hardware via an open API. Today though, we’re looking at Cooler Master’s latest air cooler, the MA824 Stealth. The company is clearly aiming for air cooling supremacy here. The Stealth a formidable challenger that features 8 heatpipes of varying widths, upgraded fans, and a supremely simple installation process. But is that enough to outmatch Noctua’s NH-D15S?
