Founded in Taipei in 1992, Cooler Master supplies nearly a quarter of the world's computer cooling system products, and its position in the field of heat dissipation is needless to say.
Like most current radiator manufacturers, the main product of Cooler is a supply air cooling base, which is based on the principle of accelerating the efficiency of air circulation inside and outside the notebook. This external physical heat dissipation method is not particularly efficient, and the theoretical cooling range for the CPU and graphics card is only less than 10 degrees, and the heat dissipation effect is also affected by the use environment and computer condition. But due to the ease of use, manufacturers have integrated more practical functions into it, so heatsinks still have a place in the field of notebook peripherals.
Cooler Master has many products in notebook coolers, CM Storm is a gaming sub-brand launched by Cooler, and its coolers are mainly aimed at high-end game users. The mid-range products are mainly thin and light office style, represented by the MasterNotepal series and the rotary wing series.
SF-17 is CM Storm's most representative product, has been the well-known consumer product evaluation agency TopTenReviews 2017 best notebook cooler, this cooler is very comprehensive, with a single large fan design, the advantage of a single fan is that it can maintain a low speed, so it is quiet, and the noise is controlled at 21dBA. Its angle adjustment function is very reliable, which ensures the stability of the computer even at the most inclined angles. Additional features include 4 USB ports, a cable manager on the back, and an LED strip on the bottom, making the SF-17 a good choice if you're concerned about the versatility of the radiator.
Another SF-19 can be said to be a giant-level product, 19 means that it supports 19-inch notebook products, and it has reached the full compatibility of commercially available products. The non-slip design can make the notebook more stable, equipped with two sets of 14cm cooling fans, full load cooling at about 6°C, users can also disassemble and replace or add other fans, enhance playability. However, compared with SF-17, there is no height adjustment function, and the ultra-high price of 600 yuan is destined to only be the purchase object of enthusiasts.
The price of the MasterNotepal series is 200-300 yuan, the silver-gray aluminum alloy panel is simple and atmospheric, suitable for notebooks under 17 inches, its biggest highlight is that it is equipped with two freely moving fans, users can adjust the fan according to the position of the air inlet of the notebook, improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and the slight disadvantage is that the fan noise is too large. The upgraded version adds a USB expansion function, and the deluxe version adds an adjustable angle base and two sets of laptop fixed buttons on the basis of the upgraded version, which consumers can choose according to their needs.
Cooler products below 100 yuan also have layouts, which are cost-effective. In terms of heat dissipation performance, the gap between high-end models and low-end models is not obvious, but it can be opened up in terms of workmanship and expansion functions. Zunrui S100 only 90 yuan, heat dissipation performance is not weak, 5 adjustable angles are more ergonomic design, and equipped with 2 USB expansion interfaces, it should be noted that this radiator is small in size, only suitable for 15 inches and below notebooks. Another Zun RuiX120 pays more attention to portability, the design is simple and thin, using a 20cm single cooling fan, the mute effect is good, there is no angle adjustment function, you can buy it for only 60 yuan, which is very suitable for thin and light notebooks of office type.
