The V8 is shipped in a hefty, black box with the name and picture of the cooler on the front.
The package includes all of the mounting equipment for AMD and Intel platforms, a tube of high quality thermal paste, installation instructions and literature on the product range.
The package contains backplates for both AMD and Intel motherboards, all the mounting screws, and a little PCI bracket for the manual fan speed controller.
I have had one of these for a year now and its still great. recommended.
Still looks good too. I never liked their highest end one, it takes up basically a full case !
I always meant to pick one of these up, but opted for the noctua a year later. Still looks nice and it gives more room over the motherboard. That is why I dislike the D14. it just hogs all the space and makes adjustments to a system a nightmare.
quite surprised to see this being reviewed so long after it was released, but after reading it, its was good to see the performance of the new coolers gainst it. they have a bit of a task outperforming the D14, not unless they make the size much larger.
Frio seems the better deal to me, pricing is very similar and its a newer cooler. bit interesting to see what Cooler Master come up with.
This was always a great cooler, and I think their new version should be really smoking, if they dont make it too big like the V10.
nice to see this cooler again, was always a good product from cooler master, probably why they let its life span run so long.
look forward to seeing the new version, whatever it might be.
I’m using hyper 212 plus, performance is good, but I don’t like its fan, when ever CPU usage spikes, the fan follows.
