Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler Review

“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 only 1-3ºC to the performance leader among contemporary air coolers. With an insignificant cooling efficiency difference like that we have to consider other factors when deciding between the two coolers, such as availability and price. As for the availability, Cooler Master solutions are way wider spread than Thermalright ones. However, as for the price, the current retail pricing may scare away some of the potential buyers. Besides, from the overclocking standpoint, Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme may accommodate a second fan and retain its high efficiency at a low level of generated noise. However, modifying Cooler Master V8 may be hard to accomplish (replacing the fan doesn’t count).”
