Cooler Master V10

By Nathan Edwards (maximumpc.com)

The Cooler Master V10 is a monster. It weighs two pounds, 10 ounces, stands 6.3x9.3x5.1 inches, and contains one thermoelectric cooler, two fans, and two heatsinks: one on the CPU and one on the TEC. The TEC, which needs to be powered by a 4-pin Molex ...

Offers decent cooling. RAM fan is a bonus

Outperformed in every way by cheaper, easier-to-install products

The V10's installation is the worst we've ever experienced. Two retention clips attach to the cooler, which you then attach to a bracket you mount on the back side of the motherboard. This means removing your motherboard and balancing the cooler on ...

Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler

By Greg Baden (thinkcomputers.org)

Looking for the biggest, baddest air cooler around? How about a CPU cooler with as much power as a V10 engine? Here at ThinkComputers we got a chance to look at this Looking for the biggest, baddest air cooler around? How about a CPU cooler with as ...

200+W of cooling solutions ; Unique design ; Hybrid TEC ; Multi-socket support

Does not work well with smaller cases and upper mounted motherboards ; Large and heavy ; Expensive

Overall the Cooler Master V10 is a very nice cooler. It supplies a decent amount of cooling not only for the CPU, but for other surrounding components. Will most everyday users see the benefits of the V10? Probably not. With a price tag of $140 it ...

Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler

By Tony Chartrand (bjorn3d.com)

When air cooling alone is not enough, some enthusiasts turn to water. But what if you're not too fond of the idea of water running around your electronics? Well, there's a solution and its called a TEC. [

  Unbeatable performance,   Looks,   LGA1366 support,   TEC

  Price,   Blocks high RAM sinks

The Cooler Master V10 certainly feels like the ultimate cooler. I am interested in seeing if Cooler Master attempts to beat the V10 performance with the upcoming V12. At this pace, Cooler Master will be ranked amongst Thermaltake and Thermalright in ...

CM Stacker 830

By Mozart (newegg.com)

CM Stacker 830

Nice cooler, quiet. The Red LED has a sinister look to it.

Very large; if you have a Stacker 830, you're either going to have to remove the door, or mod it to cut out the acrylic from the top left fan bracket. Also, if you plan on adding more RAM later on, it's going to be a pain removing this as you have to moun...

Not bad at all

By MAC (newegg.com)

I am ultimately going to send this back. It is really awesome looking, but it does not fit my case and it is difficult at best to put mobo screws on in my case with this attached. Also ram is very difficult to put in unless you put it in first, which I di...

This is a great looking cooler. Huge with plenty of cooling and TEC as well. Nice red fans.

It is huge and without the proper case you may wonder if it is being pulled this way or that and effecting how well it sits on the CPU.

V-10 cooling

By Chris SC (newegg.com)

I have nothing but praise for this cpu cooler. My latest build looks like this ; ASUS Crosshair III Formula ; AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition ; mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) 8GB total ; two XFX HD-489A-ZDDC Radeon HD 48...

This is not so much of a con if you can be patient as I was. Depending on your PC case and motherboard - you will more than likely need to install cpu and V-10 prior to installing your MB. The HAF 932 has a space on side panel, but the Crosshair III Formu...
