"The Cooler Master V8 revs up ahead with its tough guard cooling engine. On top of its stylish finish, the V8 Cooler has quite some features. For heat dissipation it is supported with it's smart 180W cooling solution. Modularized"

"I was very impressed by its cooling performance. 51C at load on an overclocked
Phenom II is amazing. I have no doubt it would also perform very well on an i7
setup. So really, this cooler is a great choice for overclocked systems."

"The Cooler
Master V8 by far is one of the most powerful coolers we've reviewed. It runs
very cool even at low fan speeds with only 41C in idle and 52C under 100% load.
The next best cooler, Noctua NH-C12P, we've reviewed does match the 41C, but is
only able to cool at 54C at default speeds. The V8 is able to even outperform
that by reaching a record low 38C on Idle and only 50C under load. It's
interesting to have a cooler that supports both the PWM function and have a VR
controller, giving the V8 the best of both worlds."

"The V8 utilizes
backplate style mounting instead of the clip on design and is sturdy and tight
making a solid contact for optimal cooling. I really found that the
design of the fan sandwiched in between really helps dissipate the heat out
when installed correctly. For any gaming rig or PC enthusiast looking to
overclock their system without water cooling this is a terrific easy
alternative that you cant go wrong with."

"I must give Cooler Master some credit for the innovative design that obviously
is capable of performing. The Cooler Master V8 dropped our idle and load
temperatures by a couple of degrees......Add everything together, and you will find that the Cooler Master V8 is an
excellent choice for a cooling option"

"Cooler Master has always taken a different approach to making air coolers, from
the gleeming Sphere, to the gigantic Z600. Now with the V8, it's nice to see
that as usual, with the power, comes performance."

"In the end, I was very impressed with the Cooler Master V8's performance. Using
a total of 8 heat pipes, it makes a strong impression on any enthusiast's heart.
The build was solid, installation was a breeze, and it looks very impressive
inside of the tower."

"The Cooler Master V8 is one of the best looking CPU Coolers i have ever seen
that also performs excellently and takes the Single Fan CPU Cooler throne from
the ThermalRight 120 Extreme."

"At the beginning of the review, I
was a little concerned that the CoolerMaster V8 wouldn’t be able to bring the
muscle that would be a credit to its namesake. That concern was unfounded. The
CoolerMaster V8 absolutely blows away the quality stock cooling solution
provided by AMD. It also outperforms it’s other burly sibling, the CoolerMaster 212
CPU Cooler by a pretty impressive margin."

There is
no question the V8 is one of the most
stylish CPU coolers out there. It moves away from the usual boring themes of a
tornado/vortex/swirly thing and instead hides the fan and makes the outer
cladding which looks like an engine covering. It’s a nice and clever
change of pace. It claims to have up to 180 watts of cooling power, and to be
honest I have no way to test that number, but I can throw the next best thing
at it; an AMD Phenom 9950 Black Edition. It held up well to that
beast of a space heater allowing only a minimal change in the heat. Its fan controller allows you to crank up the extra cooling as
you’re killing people in Crysis or turn down the fan speed when you’re headed
to bed.

There we have it. Finally, a heatsink, that's easy to
use, performs so very well, and most importantly, looks great in the process. It
was said ages ago on one forum or another "I don't care what it is, or how much
it costs, I just want something that performs better". Now, when I got a hold of
my first TRUE, those are the sorts of things I thought I would never think. But
after a year and a half of the same sink holding that performance crown, I'd
have to say the excitement had gone. Now, Cooler Master has finally come to
snatch away that performance crown.

“This
performance, nevertheless, places the V8 in the top echelon of the coolers we
have tested…”
“We like
that the V8 is taller than it is wide. Unlike Thermaltake’s DuOrb, this cooler
doesn’t block any of the parts on our motherboards”
“Nearly
top-notch cooling performance, beautiful aesthetics”

To sum it all up, Cooler Master's new V8 CPU cooler is BIG, both in physical size and performance, yet
leaves a relatively small acoustic footprint. The included fan speed controller
is a nice addition and the mounting solution is very robust, if a bit fussy to
install. If maximum cooling and impressive looks are at the top of your list
when shopping for a CPU cooler, don't
overlook the V8. Just be sure it will fit inside your case.

After coming across pictures of the new Cooler Master V8 on the Internet, we were keen to try it out. If we are
honest it is fair to say that we never expected such impressive results from
this uniquely designed heatsink. With the fan operating
at full speed the V8 was able to outperform the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
and the dual 120mm fan configuration of the Noctua NH-C12P.
