Coolermaster and CPU3D @ i32

While we were at the i32 LAN event, we met Natalia and Mingkei from Coolermaster. Natalia is the head of European marketing, and she came to see how well their Team Coolermaster was doing at the i32 event. While she was there, she came over to us to see our HydroBox III. Both she and Mingkei were very impressedby by what they saw.

In fact, our HydroBox was the ONLY system at i32 that used the Coolermaster CM Stacker 832 chassis. This is great news for Coolermaster as it really helped them promote their Chassis.

While we were at it ... I took the opportunity to do a quick interview with Natalia to talk about up-and-coming Coolermaster products.
