This year's CES was an exciting time for Cooler Master, as the company expands its CM Storm lineup with a new range of products while finally launching a new water cooling solution after years of absence....

I <3 you CM :)

All of these things look great. Curious now on the performance of that cpu cooler, I need a new one. I hope it's better than the h50/h70

All I wanted for Christmas was my 2 front tee... err I mean I wanted a replacement to the old CM 830 stacker.

I passed mine onto the kids when I "upgraded" a few months ago.
Been missing it ever since. *sigh*

Here's wishful thinking... doubt it will happen but I'm sure whatever they have up their sleeves should be interesting.

So SKY, I understand you guys are under NDA.
Can you at least tell us when the NDA lifts?

Awesome , what I am really liking is that they are now allowing software controls on all these various bits of computer coolers and fans we have.

That to me is a step in the right direction.

On a completely unrelated not; it was snowing today :( Ahh the dog days of winter. I'm really looking forward to spring.

Can't see that waterblock being anything special. By today's standards, the fins are bulky, and stacking the metal arrays like that means there isn't actually a true continuous metal path from the CPU contact plate to the fins. Same reason we need to use TIM to get a heatsink cooling properly.

Great products being announced. I like the new Storm case and the CPU Cooler. Be interesting to see how it benches up compared to the other offerings.

I was hoping to see a new revision or replacement of the ATCS 840. Hoping for something similar with a black interior and rubber grommets (I guess similar to the 800D), and with USB 3.0 front connectors.

Seconded. Quick question though, if you have a removable motherboard tray, wouldn't that discourage routing cables behind the tray, since they would all be tied on to the tray and would need to be cut off once you want to pull the tray out?

The removable tray is not something I have ever used, so I route my cables behind there anyways.
