CoolerMaster V8 ??

_jM · Oct 24, 2008, 08:53 PM

Does anyone know the release date of the CoolerMaster V8. Ive read a ton of reviews on it and it looks amazing and it seems to preform very well. I really want to buy 2 of them.. one for my current rig and 1 for my new build im buying VERY soon. Thanks guys

Within a week or two. Why did you decide to get that cooler?

theJesus · Oct 24, 2008, 08:56 PM

Doesn't HET have one of these for sale?

erocker · Oct 24, 2008, 08:58 PM

Cause I want a badass air cooler for my new rig and current rig. I have a Tuniq Tower 120 (w/o LEDs) on my P4 rig(idle temps- 23c/load temps-38-42).Ive never seen my TT120 go over 43c yet and i have a 1ghz oc on the P4 24/7. In all of the reviews I've read so far it beats the TT120 pretty good. And hell .. if I get one I could brag to my friends and say " yep.. its got a V8 in it." lol And I figure if i get one with a return policy.. I can atleast make my own judgment compared to my current TT120.. if I like it I'll keep it and buy another with my new system and if I dont I can return it and get my money back, or at least another cooler of choice.

Make any sense?

Don't know about the release date, but the HS it self is very nice. I like the design myself, but it is one of the most expensive air coolers on the market. HET has the best price for a new one, plus I thinks he puts AS5 on it before it goes out.

Go for it!

Cool! If you want something that performs better though, I would go with a Xigmatek RS1283. But then again there's no V-8 in the Xigmatek name.

I think the V8 looks badass too, but it looks much better without the plastic shroud on top.

theJesus · Oct 24, 2008, 09:28 PM

I agree the V8 looks pretty awesome, even though it's not really a V. But I'm sure it cools better being straight than it would if it actually were a V.

edit: How about the v10 or v12?

I think the v10 looks like it won't work that well, but the v12 looks awesome

sexy

looks a bit like over kill to me. I have the OCZ XTC ram cooler now. And on my new build Im buying 8gigs of corsair dominator ddr2 1066 w/the cooler. so no need for all that. plus it looks frickn huge!

Now that V12 looks tempting...

theJesus · Oct 24, 2008, 09:59 PM

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel about it.
