We did a few laps around the course enjoyed the overall experience – except the fact we had the “close to the wheel” version of the frame and had to leave a leg hanging off the side. ![]() In short, Cooler Master will offer an assortment of frames allowing you to customize your driving experience with the three 49″ monitors that you see above, as well as different driver cockpits depending on your preferences (for example, distance from pedals/wheels). Next up, for the racing sim buffs, we strapped ourselves into the Cooler Master Dyn X, a collection of racing simulator parts that will allow you to fully immerse yourself into a game that consists of turning right about every quarter lap (Ed: I though it was left?!?). After tinkering with all the buttons in the Orb X, checking out its built in audio capabilities and raising the footrest to tempt us for a nap, we quickly put it on our shortlist of things we need to acquire, regardless of the wife acceptance factor. One of the first nice touches I noticed was the Qi charging pad built into the desktop which was a nice place to park my phone while I gawked at the rest.įrom speaking with Cooler Master, we learned that we had a variety of monitor options, up to a trio of 27″ screens, or perhaps the 57″ CR9 Neo that was recently debuted by Samsung. Irrespective of the various disapprovals involved, we took a seat in the Orb X and allowed it to close up around us. This is something that everyone reading this article wants to have, but at the same time our wive’s would disapprove, we have no where to put it and we can’t take out another car loan to afford its $15k MSRP. Cooler Master Workstations ORB Xįirst up in the series of Cooler Master workstations, we have the Orb X. ![]() This design allows for a Ryzen 9 5950X and Radeon RX 6800 XT to be used in the tiny 10.5″ by 14″ by 6″ footprint. The Cooling X achieves its performance with a custom case and water-cooling solution that includes both a 240mm radiator and water channels along the aluminum sides of the case for improved heat dissipation. While it does not feature the show stopper style designs of the last two, the focus here is on delivering high performance in a tiny box so users can have the best of both worlds. In the final system being launched, we have the Cooling X. We suspect that Cooler Master will update the included parts prior to its 2023 Q3 on sale date at. The Sneaker X is slated for similar hardware to the Shark X, with up to a 12900K or 5950X, but a GPU potentially only as high as the discontinued RTX 3080 Ti. Since everything needs an X after it (Ed: I thought it was the 30th Anniversary, therefore XXX?), next up we have the Sneaker X wich is based on the SNEAKER design by JMDF from the Case Mod World Series. Pricing has not yet been announced, but they are expected to be available at at some point in Q3 2023. We’ll just leave that one here to marinate a bit. ![]() They did not seem amused by me asking if this was the point where they jumped the shark, much like the Fonz. In Cooler Master’s production version, it stands over two feet tall and will come equipped with up to an Intel Core i9-12900k or an AMD Ryzen 9 5950x and of course, up to a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. It is based on the “Leviathan” Mod created by Inony for the Cooler Master Case Mod World Series. While Baby Shark may be more popular, the Shark X is certainly not a baby. ![]() Once the chassis is in your hands, you should be free to upgrade it as you please as it utilizes industry standard equipment. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get these custom cases made from collaboration with modders on their own. In order to talk about the Sharks, we need to start with the fact that Cooler Master is entering the full system market with a set of unique designs that they will be selling as complete systems. They had an entire tour put together of all of their upcoming products, so we’ll dive into each of them, but first, let’s talk about the sharks. We schlepped it out to Cooler Master’s campgrounds at the Palms to take a look at their latest offerings in celebration of their 30th anniversary, which in the PC world, is a rather long time.
