Customer Review: V8 Power, Awesome Cooling, Great Looks
Summary: 5 Stars
The Coolermaster V8, an exceptional cooler for nearly any application. There are alot of positive reviews out there, and all of them are very true, so I will try to avoid redundant information that all the other guys cover. Instead, I will focus on some of my specific observations.
First of all, this cooler is compatible with Socket 775, 1155 & 1366 so you can use it for future builds that support these processors. Second, this thing is as HUGE as everyone says! I thought for sure it would fit in my Antec 900 case without a doubt; more on that challenge later. This cooler does everything it advertises, and does it in a "cool" way, get it ;)
My System: Intel E8600 OC'd Running at 4.0 Ghz Vcore 1.32, 8GB Hyperx DDR2 PC2-6400, Dual 8800 GTS 640MB SLI, Antec 900 Case, BFGTech 680i SLI Nforce Board. FSB at 1600, 1000Watt BFG Power. Windows 7 64-Bit.
The installation was a bit tricky as everyone says, but not out of reach for the novice builder. My temperatures are as follows with all my fans at Maximum... By the way, my TjMax is set at 100c
IDLE
> CPU Temp: 27C
> Core 0: 40C
> Core 1: 40C
MAXIMUM LOAD @30 Mins using Intel BurnTest (max temps attained, not sustained temps)
> CPU Temp: 62C
> Core 0: 62C
> Core 1: 63C
Caution: Intel BurnTest really puts a load on your CPU
Temperature Utility Used : Speedfan
My Core0 and 1 temps are probably "stuck" at 40c on idle
** I would like to comment by saying that my "real world" temps never get that high, no matter what game I am playing, even on max settings. **
Supplemental Info:
I have an Antec 900 case. I managed to install this cooler and still use a 120mm Fan on the side case opening (I had to cut a small piece of the fan outer edge). "For my particular setup" I needed to cut away a small piece of the metal part of the Antec 900 case so the coolermaster could fit properly. My dremel did the job, and I could not be happier with the fit. I was also able to fit the Coolermaster V8 "and" the HyperX Blue RAM fan side by side with no problems (just slide the hyperx fan over a bit). The Hyperx Fan does not interfere with the air flow of this cooler when installed next to each other (just slide the Hyperx a bit to the right).
Pros:
- Excellent Air Cooling
- Nice Looks
- Gives peace of mind when loading your CPU
- Looks intimidating
- Adjustable speed 120mm internal fan
Cons:
- May be too big for some cases
- I can't really see the red internal light in my setup (still looks cool)
Closing Thoughts:
I am thoroughly satisfied with this cooler and the cooling power it delivers. Everyone who has seen my computer has commented on how awesome the cooler looks! This cooler will meet the needs for the greater majority of PC users. I give it two thumbs up!
