As Cooler Master entered the liquid cooling game, things started off for them with the Seidon series of coolers. A year or so after that, they dropped the Neptune series, and what differentiated them, outside of the size of the units we tested, is that the former used a round head unit, while the latter was square. Another year or two passed, and Cooler Master dove into what they called the MASTERLIQUID coolers. In this series, we have seen them followed with things like Maker, and Pro, even ML, but this time around the moniker merely is MASTERLIQUID followed by the size of the radiator, but it is what comes at the end that makes all the difference. The most important letter towards the end of the name is an "L."

In the terminology that Cooler Master has developed, this letter stands for Lite. What they intend to do with the Lite series, is to dial back the noise, dial back performance, and even dial back the price. The second bit of the end of the name is that this cooler is RGB capable. This can be handled in one of two ways. There is support for various motherboard makers RGB LED Sync systems, or the other option is to use an included controller system, which enables those without Sync capabilities the ability to still have the desired color or pattern of lights displayed.
