Cooler Master Masterair MA610P and MA410P Review

Performance
Innitial results are quite interesting here, as the MA410P and the MA610P both performed about the same at idle, hitting 29-30c, and both hitting a respectable 32c in our gaming test. While overclocked, the smaller MA4 actually performed better, scoring 62c vs the larger MA6’s 65c.
Of course, the much larger design of the MA6 pulls its weight much better once we overclocked, as the larger surface area can handle the increase in TDP. The MA6 topped out at just 73c, while the smaller MA4 hit 90c… toasty!
Despite their different configurations, the coolers both performed very similar in terms of cooling and noise at stock. For those running lower TDP CPUs, or non-overclocked chips, the MA4 is the obvious choice.
Acoustic performance wasn’t a world apart while overclocked either. The single fan MA4 had to spin its smaller fan faster, but the MA6 uses lower RPM, but has two fans making some noise. Either way, both coolers are pretty darn quiet.
