CoolerMaster V8 Mod

looks wicked with green Leds,, hows it cooling for you.

dropped my temps by 3c not much but, its realy hot in my room over summer like 40-45c i need a AC , the fans alot lounder but i dont mind the sound. i kept the controller on so in the winter i can drop the speed down a tad, the cable for the fan was like a meter long had to cut it down.

I think, where this cooler really shine's is under load,, because my 3ghz e6850 running @3.8ghz under load stays under 50c, without the AC on, with my other cooler it would lock up under load if I didn't have the AC running in the room, I wish I could push it more,, but 3.8ghz seem's almost max with the Asus striker extreme board.

yer i had a E6850 and a Asus striker extreme the highest i could get it was 3.8Ghz, i changed to a 680i and i only could get 3.7GHz with it so i upgraded to a E8400 and a 780i and i could hit 4.1Ghz ezy max temps were 60c in summer, dam quads run hot.

That's the main reason for getting the V8,, so I could run it @3.8 without the AC on,, so It worked out good for me,, If I ever upgrade it will be a TJ07 case with i7 full water. till then I'm 100% happy with this setup. also I'm glad you liked my V8 mod & gave it a try for yourself, Maybe others will do this mod & will see other cool colors.
