Cooler Master presented its latest enthusiast-focused products at CES 2026, reintroducing several well-known sub-brands. The company’s display in Las Vegas highlighted its “FreeForm 2.0” design philosophy, a modular concept applied to various products, from the new Cosmos Alpha flagship case to power supply units featuring proactive GPU protection.
New PC Cases
The Cosmos Alpha stands out as the primary new case, a full-tower model succeeding the C700 series. This updated design focuses on internal modularity, featuring a sliding motherboard tray. This allows users to adjust the system’s placement, either to maximize radiator space or expand the cable management area. The chassis comes with two pre-installed 200x38mm fans and can accommodate radiators up to 420mm. In addition to the Cosmos Alpha, the MasterFrame 360 series offers an open-frame design, ideal for showcasing components. This series is available in Panorama, Stage Mirror, and Stage LCD versions, with the Stage LCD model incorporating a 15.6-inch 1080p display on the front for custom animations or system data.
Advanced Cooling Solutions
The V8 series makes a comeback with the V8 ACE, a high-end air cooler. It utilizes Cooler Master’s 3DHP technology, which directly integrates a 3D vapor chamber with the heat-pipe structure. This design aims to remove typical thermal limitations at the CPU contact point. For liquid cooling, the Core Nex Digital 240 and Core Nex LCD 360 AIOs are introduced, featuring an improved dual-chamber pump. Complementing these AIOs, the MasterFan A series, constructed from aluminum, and the MasterFan M ARGB series, designed for a balance of durability, acoustics, and aesthetics, are also being released.
Innovative Power Supplies
A significant development for contemporary PC builders is the MWE Gold V4 PSU series. These power supply units feature GPU Shield, a hardware-level protection system built into the 12V-2×6 power delivery standard. Unlike standard passive cables, GPU Shield actively monitors the connection for unusual thermal or electrical conditions. It provides real-time alerts and intervenes to prevent potential damage, such as component “melting.”
Ecosystem Additions
Completing its ecosystem offerings, Cooler Master also revealed the Master Meter, a standalone digital tachometer, and the Master Vision, a 12.3-inch external display for dedicated system monitoring.
