CoolerMaster has released two brand new fans that have aluminium frames and liquid crystal polymer blades. The new MasterFan models are available with or without aRGB so you can choose…
Cooler Master, a global leader in PC components and thermal management solutions, has announced the launch of its new MasterFan A Series and MasterFan M Series cooling fans. Both fan series have received strong evaluations from Cybenetics Labs, earning recognition for their excellent airflow and static pressure performance.
Among all 120mm fans tested by Cybenetics to date, the MasterFan A120 and MasterFan M120 ranked among the best performers, particularly in static pressure generation. Both models achieved the prestigious Diamond rating, highlighting their impressive cooling capabilities.
The new fan series is available now in 120mm variants, while 140mm models are expected to launch at a later date.
The MasterFan A Series was designed around Cooler Master’s focus on delivering advanced thermal performance through material science, engineering precision, and system-level cooling efficiency.
Unlike traditional plastic fans, the MasterFan A Series features die-cast aluminum blades and a full aluminum frame. This construction allows the fan to maintain a precise 0.6mm blade-to-frame clearance, reducing air leakage and improving airflow efficiency when cooling radiators, heatsinks, and restricted case intakes.
The series is aimed at users who demand reliable cooling under heavy workloads, including content creators, AI developers, competitive gamers, and custom AIO enthusiasts.
A specially optimized 7-blade design uses wider and more aggressively angled blades to generate strong static pressure and focused airflow through demanding cooling environments.
To ensure long-term durability and smooth operation, Cooler Master has incorporated a proprietary three-piece blade structure, industrial-grade two-stage dynamic balancing, dual-ball bearings, and a three-phase, six-pole motor. These features help maintain stability despite the additional weight of aluminum blades.
The MasterFan M Series offers a balance of performance, aesthetics, and compatibility for mainstream PC builders.
While it also features a rigid aluminum frame, the M Series uses lightweight LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) blades combined with Magnetic Dynamic Bearing (MDB) technology. This design helps reduce noise levels while delivering reliable long-term performance.
The series also includes ARGB Gen 2 lighting integrated into the center hub, allowing users to customize their system’s appearance without sacrificing cooling performance.
With the launch of the MasterFan A Series and MasterFan M Series, Cooler Master is offering PC builders two distinct cooling solutions: a premium, performance-focused option with the A Series and a feature-rich, visually appealing option with the M Series.

Cooler Master has announced the full specifications and pricing for its new MasterFan A and M Series cooling fans for the European market. Featuring engineering transferred from its enterprise AI computing division, these fans use a three-phase industrial-standard motor and an enterprise-grade Magnetic Dynamic Bearing (MDB) with active lubricant recycling.
The product lineup is divided into two distinct variants based on blade composition. The MasterFan A Series uses aluminium blades paired with a full-aluminium frame, which the company says is a first for the consumer category. As for the MasterFan M Series, it uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) blades within its full aluminium frame. Both variants feature a 30mm thickness, 4-point rack-mount-derived corner pads for vibration isolation, and center-hub ARGB lighting.
Performance specifications indicate a maximum speed of 4,000RPM, delivering up to 121.73CFM of airflow and 13.15mmH₂O of static pressure. A separate silent variant is also detailed, operating at a maximum speed of 2,500RPM to deliver up to 76.9 CFM of airflow.
The fans will be available in both 120mm and 140mm sizes through authorised retailers and distribution partners. The MasterFan M120/140 ARGB will be available for €17, the MasterFan A120 for €24, and the MasterFan A120 FC for €32.

The Hamburg-based awards, which recognise global excellence in product innovation and user experience, highlighted Cooler Master's ability to blend high-performance engineering with the creative needs of the PC building community. The winning entries span the company's entire ecosystem, ranging from modular chassis to cooling solutions.
Starting with the award-winning cases, the Cosmos Alpha marks the latest evolution of Cooler Master's flagship lineup. Built upon the proprietary FreeForm 2.0 modular platform, this full-tower chassis is designed for enthusiast-grade hardware that requires significant space and flexible internal architecture. Its design allows builders to reconfigure the interior to accommodate complex liquid-cooling loops or massive multi-GPU setups while maintaining the premium material quality and sweeping lines the Cosmos series is known for.
Breaking away from traditional “box” enclosures, the MasterFrame 360 Panorama was also awarded for its open-frame design, which serves as a visual stage for the components. It features three-sided, tempered-glass panels that provide an unobstructed view of the internal hardware. Beyond its aesthetics, it includes a dedicated “display stage” for showcasing collectibles or custom-branded hardware.
One of the most innovative wins for Cooler Master this year is the Custom GPU Fan Cooling Kit. Recognising that GPU fans are often the first point of failure or the source of system noise, this kit provides a high-performance retrofit solution. Utilising the company's Mobius fan technology, the kit allows users to replace stock GPU fans with quieter, more efficient versions without the complexity of a full custom liquid loop. This design bridges the gap between basic air cooling and high-end mods, allowing gamers to replace the cooling solution of their existing graphics cards with relative ease.
Rounding out the award-winning quartet is the MasterFan A120. While a 120mm fan may seem standard, the iF Design jury recognised the A120 for its refined blade geometry. Optimised for both restrictive radiator cooling and general case ventilation, the fan integrates a sophisticated ARGB lighting system into a frame designed for near-silent operation.
