Cooler Master MA826 Stealth and Hyper 662 Halo Dual Fin-Stack Coolers Detailed

[btarunr]

At the 2023 International CES, Cooler Master showed off two of its latest premium dual fin-stack (type-D) air CPU coolers, the MasterAir MA826 Stealth, and the Hyper 662 Halo. The MA826 Stealth is, unsurprisingly, the more upmarket of the two, and measures 162.2 mm x 150.6 mm x 165.6 mm (LxWxH). A nickel-plated copper base makes contact with the processor. From here eight 6 mm-thick composite-material "superconductive" heatpipes make their way to two aluminium fin-stacks, which are then ventilated by two Mobius series fans—a 120 mm "push" fan, and a 135 mm conveyor fan located between the two fin-stacks. The two stacks are capped off by a die-cast aluminium top-plate. Both fans feature loop dynamic bearings that are rated for over 200,000 hours operation.

The Hyper 662 Halo leads the company's immensely popular Hyper series that's synonymous with aftermarket CPU cooling. This cooler comes in all-white and all-black trims, and is visibly smaller than the MA826 Stealth. It features the same nickel-plated copper base, but with six heatpipes making their way to the two fin-stacks, and a pair of 120 mm fans handling the ventilation. The fans feature two ARGB LED zones (along the bore of the frame and inside the impeller hub), which is where the Holo name derives from. Both coolers support the latest CPU socket types, including LGA1700 and AM5.

Huh, these actually look pretty good, good job CM, thought you were dead

If I hadn't just upgraded my cooler, I would have had a hard time picking which dual fan cooler to get! These both look very promising.

Depending on price these may be a winner. I got a Frost Commander 140 recently for $40 on black friday sale, something tells me the CM won't be able to compete with it on price

There is just MA824 Stealth(non anniversary edition) no MA826.

Lucky dog, that's a sweet price.

It's been so long since cm has made anything new and noteworthy on the hs front. I'm finding it hard to get excited about these. Hopefully they knock it out of the ballpark when we get to see a review or two.

Frost Spirit 140 is constantly on sale too (< 30), and just 1 less heat pipe and performs just a deg or two worse. I'm using one on my 5800x3d and picked another one up at sale price just in case I want to build something else, lol.

Hmm, haven't checked out the fs140 yet. I've been wanting to try out a fc140 for quite a while but i would only be able to use it on my test bench...my back up cases are to narrow

Once again wrong products names in entire text and title(initially I thought it was just 824(Link to Product page of Special/Limited Edition) that was incorrect but damn both SKUs are incorrect) as expected from certain "editor".

O.M.G....

Finally, somebody made a "white" cooler that's actually, you know, WHITE.........including the cables, tubes and pipes too !

Perhaps now I can finish building those "SnowBlinder" rigs my customers have been waiting on

What has the world come to ????

Dude, this is TECHPOWERUP; an actual professional dedicated PC tech site with a pretty good rep; NOT some guaranteed "Home of Douche". We expect better; we expect professional, not "professional". I dare say TECHPOWERUP expect that of their editors also.
