CM MasterAir Maker 8 CPU Cooler

[HardOCP News]

The staff at Tech Report have posted a review of the Cooler Master MasterAir Maker 8 CPU cooler today. Hit the link to see what the gang thought of this $130 air cooler.

While this 6.8"-tall (or 172 mm) cooler may look like the average large tower heatsink from above, turning it over reveals a base plate unlike anything else out there. The MasterAir Maker 8 is the first cooler to implement Cooler Master's 3D Vapor Chamber base design. This design comprises four vertical heat pipes that are cast as part of the main vapor chamber. The bottom of the vapor chamber is then machined into the contact surface for the CPU's heat spreader.

Time for box fans to be used in PCs.

More like PCs to be made out of a box fan!

$130? Fuck that.

Yeah... I have two midrange air coolers that do better than that with a higher clocked/higher voltage 6600k and don't cost $130. I don't understand what the point is.

That thing is freaking huge! But overpriced for sure.

Is it possible that they are trying to recover lost court cost with this pricing?

I remember those days....

$130.00 for an air cooler??

 

[Nebulous]

At that price I'd rather go with a AIO like the Swiftech H240-X.

Having a massive AC motor in close proximity of an unshielded PC.. I don't like it, even if it works okay. Almost as crazy as $130 for an aircooler.

in the end, did anyone buy this air maker? if so, happy about it?
