Cooler Master MasterAir G100M CPU Cooler Review

Cooler Master MasterAir G100M Overview
The MasterAir G100M has a very unique look to it. As I said in the introduction of this review it more or less looks like a UFO. At the center of the cooler is a 92 mm cooling fan with clear fins. This fan is pointed down to direct airflow down across the CPU cooler. There is some plastic around the outside of the fan to help with aesthetics.

Looking at the cooler from the side we can see how the fin design circles around the center of the cooler. The fins are wider at the top and get more dense as you go down the cooler. You can also see a small ring around the top of the cooler, this will light up with RGB lighting.

Flipping the cooler over right at the center we have the copper heat column, which also acts as the base. The heat column is a two phase heat transfer that involves the liquid-vapor phase change (boiling/evaporation and condensation) of a working fluid. The fluid is transferred by the copper powder filled inside the column creating an anti-gravity heat transfer.

Coming off the cooler you’ll find two cables. One is your normal 4-pin fan header, the other is a 4-pin RGB header. You can either connect the RGB header to the included controller or to the RGB header on your motherboard where you can control it with your motherboards’s RGB software. According to Cooler Master the RGB lights on this cooler are compatible with ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte, and MSI motherboards.
