The Cooler Master V8 cooler features a Nickel plated copper base which you can see reflecting our tri flash system above. It is very well engineered, even though the design is now a couple of years old.
The first step is to install the two support bars and four studs with washers onto the bottom of the cooler base. It is not possible to fit the V8 without removing the motherboard from the chassis.
We position our Intel backplate and attach the screws with the mounting bolt, using a screwdriver to tighten as much as possible. This mounting system actually allows for really good clamping pressure.
It is a simple process which only takes a couple of minutes, just be sure to check the position of the fan when you mount, as you want it sucking in warm air from the inside of the chassis and forcing it outside the case.
I have had one of these for a year now and its still great. recommended.
Still looks good too. I never liked their highest end one, it takes up basically a full case !
I always meant to pick one of these up, but opted for the noctua a year later. Still looks nice and it gives more room over the motherboard. That is why I dislike the D14. it just hogs all the space and makes adjustments to a system a nightmare.
quite surprised to see this being reviewed so long after it was released, but after reading it, its was good to see the performance of the new coolers gainst it. they have a bit of a task outperforming the D14, not unless they make the size much larger.
Frio seems the better deal to me, pricing is very similar and its a newer cooler. bit interesting to see what Cooler Master come up with.
This was always a great cooler, and I think their new version should be really smoking, if they dont make it too big like the V10.
nice to see this cooler again, was always a good product from cooler master, probably why they let its life span run so long.
look forward to seeing the new version, whatever it might be.
I’m using hyper 212 plus, performance is good, but I don’t like its fan, when ever CPU usage spikes, the fan follows.
