Abstract: When I first saw the V8 I had my doubts about its ability to cool a CPU at all, I was concerned that it would be another GeminII S and look good but not work as well as some of the claims on the box.After working with it and running it through its pace...
The Cooler Master V8 is, in short, good. To say it in such terms really however doesnt do it justice. The heatsink easily competes and matches with other leading coolers of its class, like the legendary TRUE and Cooler Masters own Hyper Z600, while...
At the beginning of the review, I was a little concerned that the CoolerMaster V8 wouldn’t be able to bring the muscle that would be a credit to its namesake. That concern was unfounded. The CoolerMaster V8 absolutely blows away the quality stock cool...
The finished product... I love it when a plan comes together. There we have it. Finally, a heatsink, thats easy to use, performs so very well, and most importantly, looks great in the process. It was said ages ago on one forum or another "I dont car...

After coming across pictures of the new Cooler Master V8 on the Internet, we were keen to try it out. If we are honest it is fair to say that we never expected such impressive results from this uniquely designed heatsink. With the fan operating at full...
As I stated above, the Intel retail CPU cooler will work just fine for most processors, so long as you dont plan to overclock. If you want to get the most out of your CPU via overclocking, however, I would certainly recommend some soft of aftermarket ...
Well, the new Cooler Master V8 proved very confident in our tests. Yes, it did lose to its main competitor in the quiet mode as well as at maximum fan rotation speed. However, the difference is not that dramatic. On the contrary, it is great to yield o...
