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.
