One of its main current products is the Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler, which PCWorld says is "arguably the most popular CPU air cooler for the budget-minded crowd wanting to upgrade from the stock options."[9] The company also makes other air coolers, liquid coolers, PC cases, fans, and power supplies.[10][11]
In January 2020, the company changed its applicator style to a new wide-tipped applicator, with Cooler Master stating that it was to alarm fewer parents about the older syringe shape.[12]
The KFConsole, a home video game console launched in December 2020, is part of a partnership between Cooler Master and KFC.[13]
