While people tend to associate high-end, stylish cases upon hearing the words “Cooler Master”, most don’t imminently think of their cooling segment even though that word is in the company name. Cooler Master has for years been quietly ch...
I touched on the word ‘excited’ earlier, or lack thereof. This is where the Cooler Master Hyper 212 sits at. It is a solid cooler with great acoustics but it brings little to the table to make me jump for joy. In all honesty I think the fact t...
