Great performance. I just have to gather the install pictures.

Yes its heavy the weight should be listed on the box. It has serious backplate retention that may even be improved. :)

Really? Copper or Regular?

I think someone who beta tested had one of these...

What case is it going in? Can't wait to see it installed! :D

Just recently bought a freezer extreme myself :)

Install pictures going up now...

Old installation(Zalman 9500LED, not 9700LED)
The intended purpose is to give you a size comparison since ive got a full tower case.

And new!

I actually had to chop off a little corner from my NB HS base on my X38 in order for the fan that is on the cooler not to hit it. This was done so i could install the cooler correctly, so anyone with this cooler be aware of this issue.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...A/DSC00193.jpg

This was definitely a CLOSE FIT. :p

Some ram clearance pictures with it installed, i apologize for not getting one from underneath the cooler. I'll try to get one of those later but there is PLENTY of room. Enough for dominators(confirmed).

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...A/DSC00196.jpg

As you can see in the above picture there was a little sagging on the cooler when installed so i had to further tighten the brackets in order to make it not sag.

Rear fan clearance and Mosfet clearance.

Holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: :banana::banana::banana::banana: that's a tight fit

ttinwoN:D:D:D

Can't wait to see V12 in action, V10 doesn't look like it would be much better cooling CPU than V8 apart from also cooling motherboard/RAM as well. V12 on the other hand looks like it could beat TRUE. :) Or seems like I'm maybe underestimating V10 a bit. :p:

Excellent pics btw. :up:

it´s a monster :up:
i like it :weapon: but this fenomen i dont like
Bigger is Better :rolleyes:

when im looing there it has for rams cooling? and they dont collisied whith high rams example Corsair Dominator DHX?

Im quite sure that these screenshots speak for themselves.

The reason i am showing my temperatures in real temp as well as in everest is just so i could compare both programs since neither really gave me very reliable temperatures and i could do a comparison with my old cooler. The thing is, my CPU has some stuck sensors but i know which sensors arent lying to me. :p:

P.S. like a real OC'er i went with Realtemp.

Without further ado, here is a beta screenshot of the V10's performance with a Q9450 at stock clock speeds as well as stock voltage 1.25 :)

These coolers should be able to fit Dominator memory as you can see. But anything bigger than that is a no-go.

its looking realy good thx man :up:

38/45c under load, very nice.

Fyi guys here is another picture from another beta tester who has DDR3 Corsair with the HDX coolers on it... image courtesy of Cmyers.

epic, cant wait to see some OC's :D

That thing looks fantastic!!! But I also believe the V12 is the one to rule them all... I think the V12 is a 8 heatpipe monster!
