Coolermaster V8, V10

I think we're gonna have to get back those VGA ducts, plz, modified to hold these beasts.

[GripS]

Whoa!!! Those are monsters!!! They better use the bolt through method cause the socket 775 push pin isn't gonna cut it for those beasts. I'd like to see some results from these coolers. I'm betting they will be spendy on first release.

[iandh]

I saw these yesterday.

Pretty soon the cooler will be freestanding and you will bolt your mobo to it...:shrug:

[Seer]

I want to see some results!

[Jodiuh]

Wow...weight?

[Spawne32]

might as well just throw your motherboard in the trash, be saving you alot of timing :lol: i wonder how much those things weigh and what supports them.

[cabbspapp]

The day Coolermaster gets heatpipe-happy. I wonder how they perform though.

[40sTheme]

Mmmm... V12 looks nice. They just need to fix up the fins a little (some look offset from the rest) and that thing will be a mega-beast. 16 friggin' risers...

There's a V12 too??

[darcon]

Holy crap that's just retarded.

I'd like to see the mounting hardware required for this stuff, lol.

[Demo]

The picture there labeled V8 is actually the V12, the V8 is alot smaller than that

[Chewbenator]

You bolt it to the Mobo, and put up steel scaffolding!

I don't like the design of the V10, it seems that one fan is going to get hot air from the other, and the one pointing down at the memory gives the memory hot air. That is unless the fan pointing down has a seperate chamber, but then the other fan will either be pushing or pulling from nothing. Then again on the V12 it looks like the two heatpipes on the sides are just there for show, from the picture doesn't even look like they make contact with the base.

edit: Thanks Demo for the clarification. Also here's a link to the "real" v8 http://www.anandtech.com/GalleryImage.aspx?id=202

[RPGWiZaRD]

I think these are going to perform slightly better (well V8 or V12 or whatever's it's called at least) than TRUE 120 but by the looks of that huge size, these ain't going to be cheap, probably ~$70. But that one with 2x120mm sure looks like a cooler I'd wanna have, like the monstrous feel about it. :)

The heatpipe madness which reminds me of tentacles from a huge octopus is damn cool. :D

[Simps]

I believe this are going to be the best air cooling solution for a long time.
They really look good. I would say, they can easily beat TRUE, but we need to wait for some review.

Ah, I see. I like the V12 then:yepp: I'll pick one up if the reviews are good.

[Mean Machine]

Maybe now would be the time to check on my CoolerMaster contact. :P

[xploit]

when is it coming out for sale??...

[perfection]

WOAH!!! those things are massive!
wonder how the mountings are going to work, maybe through the motherboard and the tray behind it?

I doubt the motherboard would be able to hold it even with a bolt through mount

[SparkyJJO]

I see the BIG one (v12 or v8 or whatever the heck it is called) has the airflow through the heatpipes the right way. Nice.

Can't imagine the weight though.

[james111]

Maybe now would be the time to check on my CoolerMaster contact. :P
Yes, please do :yepp:

[Kosior]

I personally think that those massive, enormous coolers just can't beat the TRUE... Why would you ask? Well we've actually seen quite a few oversized coolers that performed not as good as they were supposted to.... Just for examples : Scythe Orochi, Scythe Ninja Copper, CoolerMaster(or another manufacturer, I don't really care) Z600.

I'll believe that something is better than TRUE when I'll see a comparision or a big cooler from a trusted company like Xigmatek or Thermalright...

[Colossous]

The V10 looks like half a combine Harvester !!! :shocked:

Its not size that effects the cooling primary, its the design, the orocho, ninja copper arent designed for superior cooling despite what everyone things, they are designed for silence, with large fin spacing (which is poor for cooling).

+1
The orochi was designed to be a completely passive HSF.

[mad_skills]

CM too bulky, as usual, and for my liking not so pretty, with the exception of the Hyper6+ and HyperTX(2), not so best performers as well considering the price..

[Omastar]

Wow. What's the point? Another 7 pounds of heatsink for 2C better temps over a TRUE? Hey, guys, ever heard of "diminishing returns"?

Also, what's the deal with this Jeff guy who posts on expreview? For someone with such a typically American name, he sure epically fails at English.

[Neuuubeh]

Wow. What's the point? Another 7 pounds of heatsink for 2C better temps over a TRUE? Hey, guys, ever heard of "diminishing returns"?

no way this beats TRUE (unless massssive heatloads).. Or at least I, with my 0 heatsink knowledge think so :p The v12 looks weird, why is there such a gap in the front fins :X

Cant imagine how damn frustrating will be to mount one of those monsters :X

Well, the 2C was just a number I pulled out of the air--2C would be a quite a feat, considering.

[fatguy1992]

WOW those things are giantic :shocked: Wait I don't think the V8 as big as my IFX-14 :D

[Junimrox]

that sucks, like every coolermaster :banana::banana::banana::banana:... its like a 3yr old kid playing with aluminum but with no engineering, just size...

[pcaddict]

V8 looks like Scythe ninja and V10 looks like Scythe orochi to me.

[poohball]

V8 looks like Scythe ninja and V10 looks like Scythe orochi to me.

and seems like both V8 and V10 will suffer horrible death.........just like other CM coolers....

the result is terrible.....

[NonDecepticon]

Thanks for the data, Angelreaper! Puts my mind at ease for not waiting for a new crop of coolers and going with the TRUE. Heatpipe designs seem to be a delicate balance between efficiency and mediocrity. I've wondered why Alpha and Swiftech didn't join the fray.
