Finished Looks

The Cooler Master V8 ACE 3DHP Black skips the flashy displays and ARGB lighting, opting instead for a design that mimics an engine. The black and silver fan covers, combined with the intake manifold style of the top cover, give it a genuine engine-like appearance. If you're a PC gamer with a love for cars, this cooler might just hit the sweet spot. While the design isn't overly bold, it has enough bright elements to catch the eye without being over the top. It fits seamlessly into any all-black, gray, or neutral-themed build.


As for memory and graphics card clearance, I found no major issues to speak of but the cooler does overhang two DIMM slots. That said, if your memory is standard height or slightly taller like the Klevv CRAS XR5 RGB memory used in our test system you will be just fine. As a rule of thumb I would stick to memory that is below 45 mm in height.
