COLORFUL
Do not be fooled Colorful is a huge
company. In fact second to SAPPHIRE,
no other vendor ships more graphics
cards in China than Colorful. That
however is just their AMD line, they
also have an incredible NVIDIA line
of graphics cards, that are not just
shameless stickers on reference cards
but true custom designs with some of
the best if not the best coolers on the
market. We will have to see how they
perform in future, but aesthetically,
very few graphics cards can match
what Colorful provides.
In addition, showecased was
a vast array of motherboards across
a variety of chipsets which took us by
surprise. We literally had not idea that
Colorful had such a rich portfolio of
products. In between the shock and
awe we managed to grab a pic
of the products and will certainly be
looking to include them in our future
reviews. Stay tuned!
COOLER MASTER
This year’s booth for Cooler Master was
a lot more spacious than in 2013. Same
size, but they had far fewer products to
show. This isn’t a bad thing mind you
because their entire product line has
been culled to just their best products,
and we have to say they do have some
really awesome gaming and enthusiast
grade offerings. Take for instance the
stylish CMStorm Resonar headphones,
the Sirus-C gaming headset, the
incredible V1200 Plus and as always,
the ever impressive and stunning
Cosmos II. These are just some of the
products they had on show.
With every generation of product,
Cooler Master keeps improving and
as we’ve always said, some of their
products are under appreciated,
however that may soon change once
you get to see what Cooler Master has
been cooking in their labs.
CORSAIR
Done in a style that is unique to
CORSAIR, almost every other vendor
and media they partner with was
present at the HIVE, including retailers,
distributors, gamers and hardware
enthusiasts. Be it they came for the
open bar, the show girlss, product
introductions or all of the above, it was
a great show for CORSAIR it seems.
