Cooler Master V8

By David Murphy (maximumpc.com)

Cooler Master's V8 CPU cooler offsets a somewhat time-consuming installation process with near-record-setting performance for an air cooler. The sleek aluminum cooler's 12cm fan sits between two heatsinks on the device, sparing fingers from the ...

Nearly top-notch cooling performance, beautiful aesthetics

Not that much of a cooling difference between low and high fan speeds

The 16-centimeter-tall V8 emits a slight red glow when you power up your machine. You adjust the speeds of the included fan using a knob that you can secure to your PC using an included PCI bracket. At its lowest setting, the cooler easily outperforms ...

CoolerMaster V8 CPU Cooler

By Raymond (RaptorFury) Buckland (bjorn3d.com)

Coolermaster once again has shown not only there dedication to great looking products , but there prowess to make their products perform quite well . Read on to see how well the V8 did . [

Removal of the fan was easy, giving users the ability to clean the CPU cooler, Instruction Manual was easy to understand on the installation of this unit and was printed in 18 different languages, A solid sturdy design

The CPU coolers mounting nuts were a little to large to use with the coolers retention plate forcing me to use a pair of needle nosed pliars to properly tighten the cooler. Smaller nuts could have been used to make install a lil' easier., The speed ...

Update: Coolermaster contacted our review editor Methious and informed him that the final retail product will include the mounting brackets for Intels newest socket 1366

i7 SAVER!!!

By N/A (newegg.com)

**Used Antec Formula 5 Silver Thermal Compound** I have a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case and this thing fits perfectly inside with plenty of room to spare. Too much or too little thermal paste will greatly impede the heat transfer from your CPU, so unless...

My CPU temp was running around 42C under no load and about 50C with a medium load. Now I haven't seen my CPU get anywhere near 40C! This is definately worth the money. Plus, this cooler is i7 and LGA 1366 ready

Good cooler but disappointed

By N/A (newegg.com)

This cooler is OK. It keeps my i7 920 OC'd to 3.2GHz at about 45 degrees Celsius idle. Don't expect a speedy response from Cooler Masters.

Looks Great. Solid construction. Comes with everything you need (almost, see cons) Not as hard to install as everyone said

Mine did not come with the 1366 brackets (only the back plate). So a week after emailing Cool Masters customer support and filling out the online form to have one mailed to me, still no answer/response. "Still under review" it says. So I purchased a 1366...
