Cooler Master introduced a range of new CPU cooling solutions and case fans at CES 2025, showcasing both air and liquid cooling options.

All models feature Cooler Master’s 3D Heat Pipe (3DHP) technology, which places a central heat pipe directly above the CPU’s heat spot for better heat transfer. Each cooler is equipped with dual 120mm fans designed for efficient airflow and quieter operation. The V8 and V10 models incorporate dual-tower designs to handle higher thermal loads, rated up to 340W TDP.

The V-Lite Series offers plainer designs that also eschew the ARGB lighting found in the V-Series. These models feature simpler RGB accents on the top plates and come in V6 and V4 variants with six and four heat pipes, respectively.

MasterLiquid Atmos II AIO Liquid Cooler

Cooler Master also revealed the MasterLiquid Atmos II, an update to its 2023 Atmos model. This closed-loop liquid cooler features a slimmer pump block with modular attachments, known as the Flex Kit. The attachments include options like illuminated hexagon designs with infinity mirrors, LED displays for system monitoring, and additional cooling modules such as a mini 30mm fan.

The Atmos II will be available in 280mm and 360mm radiator sizes, offering flexibility for various system builds and cooling requirements.

MasterFan XT Series and Sickleflow Edge Fans

Cooler Master expanded its fan lineup with the MasterFan XT series, including the XT Pro, which operates at speeds of up to 3,000 RPM. These fans deliver static pressure up to 15mm H₂O and airflow ranging from 101 to 125 CFM. They use dual-ball bearings rated for 200,000 hours of operation and come with a six-year warranty.

Additionally, the Sickleflow Edge fans feature a single-frame design which means they only require one set of cables reducing cable clutter. Cooler Master's Sickleflow Edge fans are optimized for radiator use and will be available in 360mm and 240mm configurations.
