Cooler Master Introduces New Air Cooler MA410M (with RGB)
Cooler Master launches a new addition to their flagship four heatpipe coolers, the MasterAir MA410M. Equipped with dual 120 MasterFans, it continues the tradition of excellent cooling performance and reliability from the Hyper series.
The heatsink is precisely designed, ensuring the spacing between each fin of the tower is at the optimal distance to guarantee minimal airflow resistance and thus allowing maximum air into the heatsink. Equipped with Continuous Direct Contact Technology 2.0 (CDC 2.0), which means all the four heatpipes were compressed to increase CPU contact surface area significant increases thermal conductivity and heat transfer. With the patented X-vents and Air-Guided Armor combined with CDC 2.0 to provide the best thermal solution for your build.
Express Yourself with Color
The MasterAir MA410M the first of its kind, equipped with twin translucent MF120 that allows excellent visibility to the array of colors displayed through individually controlled LEDs. Not only is it armed with addressable RGB function, but it is also sync-able with the standard RGB motherboards. Even without an RGB motherboard, users can customize the RGB lighting through Cooler Master’s Master+ software (to be released soon). Cooler Master includes a free Wired Addressable RGB Controller in the box. This controller requires no software. Users can adjust the mode, color, and brightness with just the touch of a button.
Cooler Master believes that giving PC users the freedom to create visually stunning RGB effects as well as, provide efficient cooling for their systems is vital to achieving one of the company’s missions. With innovative technologies coupled with a vast array of lighting effects, the MasterAir MA410M is one of the best possible mixes of performance and aesthetics in the segment.
Pricing & Availability
Products will be available in the UK around the second week of June.
- MasterAir MA410M ; MSRP 59.99 GBP (inc.VAT)

If you're looking at history though, Cooler Master has had some great coolers in the past. Hyper 212 line for example, but the issue now is you're paying for RGB at this price point.
A lot of money for what is essentially a pretty mediocre cooler, at that price it has some very strong competition to contend with.

For many people there is certainly nothing wrong with this cooler performance wise as at it's core it seems to essentially be a Hyper 212 which has always been great value for money and actually very good cooling for it's size.
The Hyper212 can suffer thermal runaway (uncontrollable rising temps until throttling or crash occur) with hotter CPUs, something other coolers in this price range shouldn't suffer from.
I was thinking with the spread of 8 core chips and people trying to OC them, this issue could raise it's head again with coolers of this class.

To be fair though, most people who have experience in overclocking wouldn't(or shouldn't at least) try to overclock and cool an 8 core cpu on a 4 heat pipe cooler like this with a single fin tower. The 212 was never meant for super high overclocks anyway.

True enough, although I have seen a few who were not aware of it's limitations.
I love my Noctua NH-D14 and that company's willingness to update older coolers mounting systems for free, or cheap (£6.49) if you lost your receipt etc.
Perhaps higher end coolers like this end up cheaper in the long run
