Cooler Master's Silent Pro M is quite a different product, I would not go as far as to say it is unique, but it does target quite a different audience than the majority of the power supplies we have taken a look at. The Silent Pro M is definitely not the power supply for multiple graphic card systems, but for the typical high end system, or even small form factor media setups, the Silent Pro M is a great choice.

Cooler Master has been very busy of late launching several new cases, and today we'll be looking at their latest, the Sniper, first in their new CM: Storm series lineup. As you can probably surmise, the Sniper is a tower that is targeted (no pun intended, honest) toward the gamer crowd, offering several robust features that are typically in demand by this market segment.

The CM Storm Sniper is Cooler Master's first offering of the new "CM Storm" branding. The gear is intended for the enthusiast, semi-pro or even professional gamer. That said, the Sniper is jam packed with unique features, all wrapped up on a beautiful design and incredible paint job.

Cooler Master's V10 CPU cooler is a beast of a unit that is big, brash, and bold in its styling and performance claims, boasting thermoelectric-assisted (TEC/Peltier) air cooling for today's hottest Quad Core CPUs. We'll pit the V10 against another top air cooling competitor on a highly overclocked Core i7 920 CPU that?s juiced up to see if the Peltier can get the job done or get left in the dust.

There is no doubt the Cooler Master HAF932 is a very good case, it is huge, which makes building in it nice and easy and I believe it would take a substantial water cooling set up internally. It's built like a tank, it has fairly striking looks without going too far and it has a lot of nice features, like the hole for the fill port and the front mount E-sata connector and of course that cooling which is very quiet but incredibly effective.

Today we have the chance to check out the Cooler Master ATCS 840 Full Tower Classic Case, a retake on the original ATCS designs. This lightweight aluminum design also brings in plenty of cooling with three 230mm fans, a 120mm fan and room for an additional four 120mm fans. Cooler Master certainly took their time in implementing features for this case. Some of the many features include a removable motherboard tray, dual power supply support, water-cooling support, rear exhaust fan and tool-free installation devices. Read on further to get a closer look at this simple, yet elegant case.

With the original ATCS chassis, Cooler Master brought the first truly custom alloy case to the market. Their ATCS 840 Classic has proven to be a worthy successor. With classic good looks and superb build quality, the 840 is poised to make as big an impact on the market as its predecessor. Besides being huge, this chassis is also very configurable and will hold all the hardware that virtually any enthusiast will want to stuff into it, including the watercooling folks.

When we first saw the CoolerMaster Storm Sniper while attending the Consumer Electronics Show last month we were taken aback by the rugged appear of this military inspired case. That along with some new features we have never seen in any other cases up to this time, such as the "StormGuard". The "StormGuard" looks like a I/O slot cover that has notches cut out of it. What it does is to allow you to intertwine your mouse, keyboard, or headphone cables around the StormGuard so that no one can walk off with your valuable accessories.

The V10 offers many more features than the V8. The first would be the additional capabilities of cooling your ram while taking care of the CPU. Sitting atop a second set of aluminum fins is a 120mm cooling fan when placed properly blows right over your DIMM slots. We saw this in the Gemini cooler as well. This kind of cooler eliminates the need to deal with extra fans for ram cooling. Yet the most beneficial feature of the V10, if used right, is the T.E.C. base. With the right amount of heat to activate the thermal electric plate that is attached to the base of the cooler, the V10 is posed to offer a new level of performance and cooling and is capable of taming the most voltage hungry processor.

Benchmark Reviews has been on the web for over a year now. In that time I've had the pleasure of reviewing some very nice higher end computer items, including mid and full tower cases. While I love the high end market I realize for every high end part sold, there are probably 100's of mid to lower end parts sold. So who's buying these parts? Everyone is that's who. So where do they get their pre purchase information from? Hopefully here at Benchmark Reviews. Cooler Master recognizes there is an audience at this price point and so should we. Today Benchmark Reviews will look at the Cooler Master Elite 330 RC-330-KKN1-GP Chassis. A mid tower computer case that appears to be big on features but small on price.

But what will come as a surprise to most people is the direction Cooler Master opted to go with the V10. While externally it appears very similar to the air cooler on display at the CES booth, the original consisted mainly of a V8 cooler with an extra bank of fins and a second 120mm fan. But that's not the version we have received for review... oh no. A close look at the product packaging reveals the V10's trump card, 200W HYBRID TEC cooling.

When buying a power supply, the efficiency of the unit is an increasingly prominent factor due to the threats of global warming etc, it?s therefore important for us to do our part in helping to save the planet. One way we can simply help is by purchasing an ?80 Plus? PSU. What is an ?80 Plus? power supply though you wonder? A unit certified as this is 80% or greater efficient at 20%, 50% and 100% of rated load with a true power factor of 0.9 or greater. Cooler Master has stepped up the game though. Instead of being just the bare minimum to classify as 80 Plus (80%), the UCP 900W however is rated at 88% more efficient making it seem very promising. Let?s take a closer look?

I'm very impressed with Cooler Master's Silent Pro M600W. Here's a quiet, compact, high-quality PSU with flat modular cabling, high efficiency and a five-year warranty from an established company. Cooler Master also includes silicone vibration gaskets and black mounting screws.

With a market composed of a large variety of CPU coolers, manufactures have to get it right the first time around. If the cooler poses to many issues, or simply fails to meet today's standards, it will likely find its lifespan to be short. Today we are going to be taking a look at a cooler from a company that knows all about cooling, Cooler Master. Is Cooler Master really the master when it comes to cooling? Well, we are about to find out how well the Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler can compare to a few other top performers on the market.
