Cooler Master have earned a well-deserved reputation for producing quality CPU coolers. Today we are looking at their new 280mm all-in-one cooler – the MasterLiquid Pro 280. Cooler Master claim that the MasterLiquid Pro 280 should deliver unparalleled performance due to its innovative pump/waterblock, which features ‘657% more surface area' to allow for better heat dissipation. With the inclusion of 2 MasterFan Air Balance fans as well, could the MasterLiquid Pro be a ‘must have' liquid cooler?
With a price of just over £100 here in the UK, the Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 280 is not the cheapest AIO we have ever seen, but hopefully it will justify the price by giving excellent performance. In this review, we go over the build quality, installation process and thermal performance of the MasterLiquid Pro 280 before giving our final verdict.
