Cooler Master isn’t happy with SilverStone and Enermax, according to new court documents that can confirm the company, which describes itself as “the standard in thermal innovation today,” is suing both for what has been alleged to be patent infringement. The pump-inside-radiator design, as well as ARGB mini-controller, are Cooler Master inventions, the company argues, while SilverStone and Enermax, who plan to defend their designs in court, have reportedly called Cooler Master a “bully.”

“Infringing products” include:
- SilverStone
- ICEMYST 240
- PF240

TPU noted:
One of the three defendants has reached out to TechPowerUp with a comment, in which it says that it finds it interesting that Cooler Master, which itself defended a similar patent infringement lawsuit against Asetek in 2016-17 would go on to allege patent infringement with smaller competitors such as Enermax and SilverStone, while leaving out certain other customers of Apaltek, such as MSI.
