Conclusion
...Cooler Master's MasterAir Pro 4 serves as a timely reminder that capable CPU cooling need not cost the earth.The CPU cooler market remains hotly contested with numerous manufacturers vying for attention at various price points.
Today's most adventurous solutions come with lofty price tags attached, but Cooler Master's MasterAir Pro 4 serves as a timely reminder that capable CPU cooling need not cost the earth.
Available for around £40, the good-sized heatsink comes armed with four heatpipes, a 120mm PWM fan and a well-thought-out bundle that caters for multiple installations and, should the need arise, the addition of an optional second fan.
Nickel-plated heatpipes might have helped achieve a sleeker overall aesthetic, and the cooler doesn't keep as quiet as premium alternatives, yet our quibbles are minor and at this price point the MasterAir Pro 4 is a likeable all-rounder.
Capable cooling performance
Straightforward installation
Provisions for a second fan
Five-year warranty
Copper heatpipes a bit of an eyesore
