Cooler Master Unveils Cooling X Pro Case with a Unique Liquid Cooling Design

[btarunr]

The Cooling X Pro from Cooler Master is a case designed for the "cooling defined build," a high-end PC build where the primary focus is on high-performance liquid cooling of the CPU, GPU, and NVMe SSD. The case reimagines the layout of key components in the build, such as positioning the PSU toward the front, putting the CPU and VGA under a proprietary liquid cooling solution, and using a large, common square 360 mm x 360 mm radiator to dissipate heat from both. This is either ventilated by nine 120 mm fans, or a large diameter fan.

Besides this unique cooling solution, the Cooling X Pro appears to feature an aluminium inner chassis similar to the MasterFrame Aluminium series that the company also showcased this year. The various panels aren't as modular, the one facing the left side is a curved tempered glass. The right probably features a coarse mesh panel to let the 360 mm x 360 mm radiator breathe.

Where would the fans go ? Am I missing something or this thing will have horrible airflow.

So they just integrated Mora on a side panel but without any consideration for airflow.

If you look at the mobo side, the space is very narrow and the GPU can barely be installed vertically, which means the fans are probably in the case behind the radiator.

I guess bottom and top for a chimney effect cooling, like the SL600M.

EDIT: Damn, didn't see the back panel photo earlier. That's a big ass radiator.

That rad is probably larger than my car's rad
I'm emotionally validated

Maybe there's enough space between the motherboard and the radiator, so fans mounted on it would pull air from top/bottom.

Either way the air intake is blocked, very dumb design.

It seems so, but maybe the huge rad makes it work! lol

Cooler Master confirmed they were using four 180mm fans, @btarunr
