Cooler Master MasterAir G100M CPU Air Cooler - Low Profile Phase-Change Column, mini-ITX Ready, 92-mm PWM Fan with RGB Ring and Wired RGB Controller - Universal Socket Compatibility

Bought this for my ITX build computer. I built it a few months ago, before this cooler was out. Being an ITX build, a lot of coolers just don't fit and the one I used was small, but didn't keep CPU as cool as it needed to, so fan noise went up when you did much on the computer. I bought this as a replacement - but because of the RGB lighting, as I already had RGB fans for case cooling. This fits perfectly, both in size and as linking into the Asus Aura LED lighting control. I think it looks super cool and the actual cooling effect is much better - probably 25C less than the one I had in before. One word of warning - if you are thinking of putting it into an ITX case. It's all very tight and you would find it a lot easier if you had fingers the size of a 5 year old, which I don't.

Much bigger and meatier than I expected; and comes with a scary ass myriad of fitting parts that is very intimidating. Fortunately, I didn't have to use about 70% of them, as I assembled this directly into my MSI motherboards built in fan fittings. This is fortunate as the manual suggests you need to install the fittings before the MB and I entirely didn't expect that (I nearly had a hernia as fitting the fan was a late step in my assembly process!) Besides these issues, however, it clearly works very well; has a very solid copper pillar. It looks top kek on my Ryzen 5. [Inset Troll Face] (Tip: setting the light to a solid peachy off-white creates a psuedo-roulette wheel effect due to refraction! Rather cool!)

Excellent low profile cooling solution, easy to install and took about 5 mins in total. It is large so be advised that some ram may not fit under it, always check the height of the ram to the guide height for this. It's reasonably quiet and cools very well. The bonus is the rgb lighting on it.

Great if you only want to use this for work and limited gaming. Although it cooled my Core i7-8700, it is not a great cooler when gaming as it runs very hot. On a hot day (30+ degrees Celsius), my CPU averaged around 80+ degrees and at times jumped to 100 degrees. I assume RGB lighting would be targeted at gamers or those with windowed panels. Based on this I have given it 3 stars when considering price, performance, and functionality - there is no mention of maximum recommended TDP and cooling performance is not great at this price point but it functions with no issues, RGB lighting also worked when connected to the RGB pins of my motherboard, and the fan is low profile as advertised.

Got the coolermaster G100M for my I5-8400 because the stock Intel fan looked hideous. It looks great, has a few different colour options and quiet too. Keeps the cpu cool running at 60's while gaming. Not sure how it would be like with an overclocked CPU under load but if you want a good looking cooler for cpu not overclocked I'd recommend.

Really nice low profile cooler on my i7 4790k.i get and ideal temp of 39-42 degrees c.and normal load in the 50ish. Only concerning thing is when I use stress cpu on “Cpuz” software it goes around 101 degrees c and I have to stop it the moment it hits that to avoid damaging my cpu. I also tried an artic Alpine 12 low profile on same cpu before that which gave me same idle temp and a max of 85 degrees when I use the stress cpu in that same software. Why I kept the cooler master g100 is because of the Rgb and the shape of it as it looks really nice. I won’t be fussed with overloading my cpu workload as i won’t be gaming in that pc.hence why am giving it a solid 3 star. If the temperature at max load was below 90 I would have given it a solid 5 star Edit 26th Nov The performance on this cooler has really worsened .the £12 artic alpine do better job than this cooler. The temp has gone even higher now at idle.i did not overclock or alter anything in my system. I would not advise anybody getting this unit. You are better off with a Noctua low profile cooler than this gimmick product.

While aesthetically it looks good it gets noisy when it needs to increase speed and do it's job. I had it set at multi colour but it has reverted back to single colour. I have not tried tying it to a different RGB controller as its accompanying controller is very limited and manual. It is working but I am thinking of replacing it.

This is the noisiest cooler i've fitted, should have bought a Noctua and forgot about that RGB nonsense, it has to go back
