I think we're gonna have to get back those VGA ducts, plz, modified to hold these beasts.
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.
I saw these yesterday.
Pretty soon the cooler will be freestanding and you will bolt your mobo to it...:shrug:
I want to see some results!
Wow...weight?
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.
The day Coolermaster gets heatpipe-happy. I wonder how they perform though.
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??Quote:

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

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
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
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.Quote:

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
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.
Yes, please do :yepp:Quote:

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...
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).Quote:

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..
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.
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 :XQuote:

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

WOW those things are giantic :shocked: Wait I don't think the V8 as big as my IFX-14 :D
that sucks, like every coolermaster :banana::banana::banana::banana:... its like a 3yr old kid playing with aluminum but with no engineering, just size...
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....Quote:

Not quite sure, but his v8 results do not sit in line with ones ive seen all over the internet.
Man those are some major paper weights. You could kill a big animal with the V10 thats for sure
Seems fine to me, close to the TRUE, not quite there though :shrug:Quote:

Well then you havn't seen the V12 they had them all at a 2008 showcase.
you can't be serious? this is more of an e-peen thing than it is useful.Quote:

The v12 is a monster indeed, it looks ready to tear your motherboard apart. It also looks as if it has some sort of cooler for the ram which is a good idea but really, ram does not get that hot really. Secondly I wonder what the clearance is between the ram and cooler as some heatsinks like the ocz reapers may have a problem fitting it in.
that V10 is insane :eek:
Well, if you look at it more carefully, there are those nickel plate over them:yepp:Quote:

you guys know that right?
Regarding the V8: Lots of talk. But quit drooling. I bought and installed one. Will most likely take it out when I get the energy. Want to know the biggest drawback to this thing? You have to attach it from the underside of the mobo. You got it. Was going to write a report when I get through testing, but, bottom line, so far it doesn't seem to be any improvement over my IX14.
The installation requirement is absolutely terrible. Want to check and replace the tim? Pull the mobo. Want to replace the fan? Pull the mobo. Want to do just about anything but gaze at it? Pull the mobo. It's attached to the underside with four nuts that you supposedly tighten up with a supplied socket that has screwdriver threads stamped into the top. Problem is, the X-shaped back plate has a rolled up flange all the way around it, including around where the nuts are installed. You guessed it. The socket is bigger than the remaining space, meaning you have to complete tightening the nuts with a pair of pliers.
Just two examples of brilliant engineering on this piece of hardware. There are more but I won't bore you with them. In a word, it sucks. The many positives are more than offset by the negatives. And it amazes me that no one who has actually installed and tested this thing has commented on it.
And, no, you can't jury rig hardware to fasten it from the top side. I tried. Unfortunately the attachment points are well underneath the body of this monster, which precludes reaching underneath to tighten whatever up. Unless, of course, you pull the mobo.
lol why the :banana::banana::banana::banana: will you get the V8 instead of the IFX?? the IFX is like the beast already :yepp:
just asking, no flames:D
Just out of curiousity. Always looking for the ultimate cooling solution to get my Q6600 to 3.8. :) Saw it advertised for a couple of months when it wasn't available anywhere. Liked the idea of the 8 heat pipes. Then I was in my local Fry's looking for some wiring hardware, and, lo and behold, a whole stack of them. And, yes, it's just about the same size as the IFX14. A monster, but fits my case comfortably.
I just installed one 15 minutes ago and it honestly isn't as bad as you are making it sound.Quote:

Yeah, it's very nice to see the newer cases coming with cut-outs for installing/removing today's HSF's.Quote:

Whats up with the hyper N520/ N620?
N520-Hyper tx for 1366 processors?
Interesting 5 heatpipes 3 full U pipes, N620 being 6 heatpipes and 4 U heatpipes.
Should perform fairly well for mid range overclocks.
idk why those cooler master looks powerful, but they don't perform that well:p:, anyways i've heard that the V10 will be a TEC cooler:eek:... i bet the price are going to be skyrocket high:rolleyes:
also here is the V8 for purchase
http://www.tilatech.com/coolermasterv8.html
unless you flip the fan over and blow it out the side door. Likely it is already oriented that way....Quote:

better find some longer screws before you install it
better yet dont buy it and get a true:rofl:
with my true max temp @ 4.6 i seen in prime was 62 with v8 it jumped to 71
it even idles 4c higher
My V10 share. Man this thing is huge.

Well this review seems pretty favourable...nothing aabout it on frostytech yet
http://www.xtremesystems.com/modules...wcontent&id=68
Well, the first line of the review explains a lot. They loved the V8. In my controlled tests of the V8, TRUE and IFX-14, the V8 didn't come close to matching performance. This was using a Q6600 oc'ed from 2.4 to 3.6. I can't imagine testing one of these things at stock settings, otherwise just leave the box cooler installed. Anyway, the V10 adds no more cooling for the cpu than the V8, just now you get to blow more air over your memory. I can post the results if anyone really wants them.
Bottom line, if bling is the primary criteria, overriding cost and performance, by all means get one. :)
The V10 has a peltier, but its a waste on pure aircooling, but its still a huge difference between v8 and v10Quote:
