This Computex 2013 overview from Linus Tech Tips focuses on Cooler Master’s booth highlights, starting with compact and versatile cases. The Elite 130 is showcased for its space efficiency and open front ventilation, designed to improve internal airflow while accommodating multiple drives, including SSDs, with several mounting options. The CM 693 case receives design evolutions that increase GPU space and drive capacity, including reconfigured 2.5/3.5 inch mounting bays and hidden SSD mounts, while still preserving carry handles for mobility. The Cosmos SE, a larger dual-GPU chassis, is highlighted for its aggressive cooling potential with a single 120 mm liquid cooler and a top-mounted dual-radiator configuration, illustrating Cooler Master’s emphasis on high-performance airflow in premium builds. The segment also covers silence-oriented options like the Silencio 352, built on a similar chassis, featuring magnetic panels and front noise-damping material for quieter operation. The discussion moves to cooling solutions, including all-in-one units such as thicker 240 mm radiators and modular, easy-install designs that pair with specific motherboards like the Maximus 5 Formula and G1 Sniper 5. Finally, the Nepton 140 and Nepton 280/140 series are presented, emphasizing thicker radiators, flexible mounting, and corrosion-resistant tubing to maintain coolant reliability, with a nod to innovative sealings that reduce evaporation. The display of power supplies focuses on efficiency at low loads, highlighting a Cooler Master V850 tuned for idle power savings and comparing idle consumption to conventional systems, underscoring the impact of efficient PSUs on real-world use, even when idle. The show closing emphasizes the broader ecosystem of Cooler Master products and the value of efficient design for enthusiasts, inviting viewers to subscribe for more unboxings, reviews, and Computex coverage.
