How much do the MasterFan A120 and A140 weigh and will that weight affect mounting on CPU air coolers or radiators?
The MasterFan A120 weighs 305 grams per fan and the MasterFan A140 weighs 379 grams per fan. The review notes the A120 is "pretty hefty to add to an air cooler" and is doable but a lot, whereas on a chassis or a radiator the weight is more easily handled. Answered
Does the MasterFan A120 ship with mounting hardware suitable for radiators and chassis installation?
The article states that each MasterFan A120 box includes a 100mm extension cable, a set of long screws, and a set of nuts to secure those screws, plus a fan grill. The review does not explicitly state whether that included hardware is specifically intended or rated for radiator mounting or all chassis installation scenarios. Answered
How does the 3DHP (3D heat pipe) design and heat pipe layout operate on this cooler?
The 3DHP are the two thicker heat pipes that run straight up from the copper base through the center of the fin stack to rush heat into the fins. Four thinner, conventional heat pipes flank the 3DHP; two of those are bent from the edges to reach the middle of the tower. The aluminum fins are soldered across the pipes, with the 3DHP occupying the central hotspot area and the thinner pipes handling heat more conventionally. Answered
How does the MasterRail mounting system work and what cooling/radiator sizes can the top panel accept?
The MasterRail is a sliding rail and fan-bracket mounting system that lets you move the rail and insert the fan bracket to fit a wide range of fan diameters, keeping the rails out of the airflow so any fan size can be mounted without obstructing intake or exhaust. The top panel can accommodate 3x120 mm or 3x140 mm fans, 2x160 mm or 2x180 mm fans, or up to a 360 mm radiator, with up to 58 mm of depth available for a fan-and-radiator combination. Answered
