Cooler Master also displayed its future CPU coolers during this CES. Let’s see what is coming from this manufacturer.
The X6 Elite will have eight U-shaped heatpipes, a copper base, and aluminum fins. The base is slightly dislocated, meaning that it isn’t placed exactly at the center of the cooler. The fins have a honeycomb structure that work as air tunnels. This cooler will be released this year with a suggested price of around USD 50.

The TPC812 promises to provide high performance, thanks to its two vertical vapor chambers. Vapor chambers use a technology similar to heatpipes, but are flat instead of cylindrical. In fact, this is the first CPU cooler we’ve seen using this configuration. Additionally, the TPC812 will have eight U-shaped, nickel-plated heatpipes. The base is made of copper, while the fins are made of aluminum. Cooler Master was demonstrating the performance of this cooler against the Corsair H80, which is a liquid cooling solution, and both are achieving similar performance. (As a matter of fact, the TPC812 was two degrees Celsius cooler.) The TPC812 is expected to reach the market in the second quarter of this year with a suggested price of USD 70.
