Cooler Master Turbine Master Mach 0.8 Fan Review

👤by James Clewer Comments 📅19-01-11
The fan itself


Moving onto the fan itself you can see that it's no ordinary looking unit. It has a high density of fins (16 in total) which all have an unusual straight leading edge. The fans 'semi-cut' frame is also quite a departure from the norm in that it sits lower and doesn't fully encase the outer edge of the blades. This more open design (somewhat similar to Arctic's frameless fans) should reduce the turbulence (and consequently noise) that would normally be generated by the pressure between fan tip and frame.

The rear is labelled up to identify this as the Mach 0.8 model in the Turbine Master range. Beneath that sticker lies Cooler Masters Barometric Ball Bearing hub - this should provide a longer lifespan over standard bearings and also run quiet in the process.

From the side you can see 'semi-cut' frame in all its glory. My experience of designs similar to this have generally been good so I have high hopes that this fan will perform as Cooler Master intended.

Back to the front and you can see the Turbine Master how nature intended. The centre cap is designed to further improve airflow and help with turbulence and noise. Also, like a great many fan designs these days, the blade section can be popped out for quick and easy cleaning.
