Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler Review

Final Thoughts and Conclusions

Cooler Master’s new V8 CPU cooler delivers very good cooling with minimal noise and it really looks good.  The fit-n-finish is excellent and the performance to noise ratio is very good.  The cooler is relatively easy to install and features secure mounts for both Intel and AMD platforms.  Overclockers and users interested in maximum performance will be disappointed to find the V8 won’t accept high-speed 120mm fans that are typically 38mm thick.


The Cooler Master V8 CPU cooler is currently available and typically sells for $64.99 USD or less. 

Strengths:

•    Automotive theme looks great
•    Excellent build quality and fit-n-finish
•    Very good performance to noise ratio
•    Quiet 120mm center mounted fan optimizes airflow
•    Automatic PWM and manual fan speed control included
•    Universal mounting system supports Intel LGA775 and AMD processors

Weaknesses:

•    Limited to using 25mm thick fans
•    Slightly concave base (not perfectly flat)
