Review: Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P

Conclusion

Cooler Master has expanded its line-up of air coolers with the launch of the MasterAir MA620P. Designed to appeal to the enthusiast who prefers not to take the liquid route, the cooler promises high performance and low noise in a large dual-tower form factor priced at £75.

Our in-house results reveal the cooler to be a decent performer that is nearly silent at low load, however nitpicking becomes a whole lot easier at this price point, and the MA620P doesn't hit all of the right notes. The design aesthetic is an acquired taste and isn't, in our estimation, as sleek as, say, a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro, while the fiddly mounting kit is nowhere near as user friendly as a Noctua NH-D15.

The cooler's main point of differentiation is the availability of RGB lighting. The fans are bright, Cooler Master guarantees synchronisation support with most motherboards, and if your board lacks RGB headers, there's a bundled hardware controller included in the box.

Bottom line: MA620P is a competent cooler that bodes well for illuminated rigs, but really ought to be easier to install.
