News Coolermaster MasterAir G100M 74.5mm CPU Cooler

https://techreport.com/news/33056/cooler-master-shows-new-masterair-masterliquid-and-masterwatt-gear

New, funky looking RGB low profile cooler was just announced by CM at CES. Said to be able to handle 130W TDP with a height of 46mm.

Good to see more options in this segment, especially for AM4. CM has been including AM4 bracket in box for most of their newer products, which is sadly not the case for some other manufacturers.

EDIT: cooler height is actually ~75mm. I've been bamboozled by the article above.

Found a (Chinese) review: https://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://www.expreview.com/58531-all.html&sl=zh&tl=en

Actually looks pretty good in those pictures.

145mm x 145mm x 51.7mm looks like the actual measurement of the heatsink, not including the fan. It is just the "Heat Column" that measures 46.3mm with the overall height of the cooler being 74.5mm.

Unfortunately for Necere this looks like an SFF hoax.

this is...
weird
I like it

yeah it doesnt look 46ish at all looking at ram clearance images
replacing the fan would take the magic out of it as well

I thought this looked familiar. @confusis previewed it for SFFn at techXpo NZ

And so marks the return of flower style coolers like the Thermaltake Blue Orb II.

At TechXpo last year, Coolermaster touted this new cooler as a "technical demonstration" rather than a product prototype!

The official specs say that with the fan, it is 74.5 mm high (145 x 145 x 74.5 mm), not sub-50 mm. Users of slim SFF cases can look elsewhere.

Yep I got bamboozled by techreport's article.

Is it possible that the erroneous 46mm figure actually belongs to that Raven-Ridge APU cooler they were apparently involved with?


Edit: thumbnail is misleading, but the link actually goes to footage of the cooler I'm referring to
