Ce Cooler Master V8 offre des performances de premier ordre. Il s'intégrera facilement malgré sa carrure dans quasiment tous les boitiers standard, il faudra juste vérifier si vous possédez une ventilation sur vos rams que celle-ci ne soit pas trop proche du CPU afin que le tout soit installé correctement.

Over the years Cooler Master has developed some of the industry's most impressive computer cases, with their most recent examples, such as the HAF 932 and COSMOS series, by far their best. However more recently they have also been making a name for themselves in the cooling business, with products such as the Hyper Z600 which has quickly established itself as a high-end product.
Topping off the excellent performance is the V8's devilish good looks. The Cooler Master V8 is possibly one of the coolest looking heatsinks we have seen. The internally mounted 120mm fan is a nice touch and allows Cooler Master to efficiently cool all four heatsinks with a single quiet fan. The bright red LED's hidden under the black cover are also a nice touch, that make for a cool effect.
The inclusion of a manual fan speed controller is also very nice and a welcomed addition to the V8. With all these features, and of course the amazing performance, we expect that the V8 will come at a price. Although that price is not entirely clear as yet, we expect the V8 to retail for around $60 - $70 US, which would be appropriate for a high-end cooler competing with top notch products from makers such as Thermalright. Overall we have been amazed by how well the V8 works and shall be giving it our performance award.

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.

As I stated above, the Intel retail CPU cooler will work just fine for most processors, so long as you don't plan to overclock. If you want to get the most out of your CPU via overclocking however, I would certainly recommend some sort of aftermarket cooling solution and as we saw here today, Cooler Master's V8 is an excellent candidate.
This CPU cooler has a lot going for it. Starting with pure aesthetics, this is one nice looking unit with a unique design. Four separate banks of cooling fins are sandwiched by a 120mm fan, all of which are connected to the base of the heatsink via eight different heat pipes. Cooler Master integrated a rheostat-style fan speed controller, accessible by using the included add-in card slot. All of the necessary hardware is included for installation as well as a tube of thermal paste.
Installation on an Intel LGA775 CPU socket requires removal of the motherboard from the case in order to install a backplate and secure the unit to the board. The included instructions were decently written with plenty of diagrams to guide you along.
During use, the fan was very quiet on low and just barely audible on high over my other system fans. I really expected the fan to be kind of loud, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The V8 performed really well during testing and I have little doubt that I can squeeze a few hundred more MHz out of this processor. I wish I could have tested against more CPU coolers, but this is the first aftermarket one I have used with this configuration as it is a new test system.
My only complaint about the V8 is its size. Be warned that it won't fit in all cases. The unit was about 1/2" too tall in my case and I couldn't reinstall my side panel without some creative thinking.

Coolermaster's V8 heatsink is compatible with Intel socket 775 and AMD socket 754/939/940/AM2+ processors. The standardized heatsink brackets that Coolermaster use with its products are more complicated than necessary, requiring you to remove the entire motherboard from the case and pop in a special back plate and tighten nuts. The CPU cooler arrives with a variety of brackets, screws and nuts which are all proprietory to this design.
The multi-language manual makes installation pretty straightforward, but is tedious. Coolermaster use this mounting "system" with the majority of heatsinks it sells. We're not fans of it, but it does hold the cooler firmly in position. The PCI bracket is for the heatsink's manual fan speed controller.
This heatsink will be tested on FrostyTech's Intel LGA775 and K8 version of the Mk.II synthetic thermal temperature test platform, and compared against a hundred reference LGA775 and K8 heatsinks. The whole test methodology is outlined in detail here if you'd like to know what equipment is used, and the parameters under which the tests are conducted.

Cooler Master's new V8 CPU cooler delivers very good cooling with minimal noise and it really looks good. The fit-n-finish is excellent and the performance to noise ratio is very good. The cooler is relatively easy to install and features secure mounts for both Intel and AMD platforms.

The V8 from Cooler Master is a very unique looking cooler that performs quite well. In the cooler world today it is getting harder to tell one tower cooler from another. This is not the case with the V8. With its crazy heatpipe bends and the fan shroud it makes the cooler stand out. Combined with the fact it really can perform, to me this makes the V8 a very attractive cooler.
The V8 is a very nice cooler as you can use it for both LGA775 and LGA1366 with an optional mount bracket kit. Why is this nice? Well, if you drop $55-70 (depending on where you shop) on this cooler you’re going to want to use it as long as you can. With the availability of the LGA1366 bracket kit from Cooler Master you can buy the cooler for your current rig and transfer it to your Core i7 rig.
Legit Bottom Line: The V8 CPU cooler from Cooler Master is one of the most unique looking coolers I have looked at in the last year, and it performs as good as it looks.

The Cooler Master V8 mixes a rare blend of aesthetics and performance that is often pined for but rarely achieved. Did the V8 succeed? I would say definitely so. The performance was superb for a chip notorious for pouring off heat. The aesthetics are unique and interesting without being over the top. Installation was easy, and flexible enough to accommodate the multitude of sockets available on the market.
The V8 is a excellent heatsink by a trusted company making it worthy of the Club Overclocker Seal of Approval.

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.

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.

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. I actually wish I had one of the higher performing fans on hand to see how it would do with a little more air flow. Overall though, the performance was excellent, seeing that this is a non-standard design.
Add everything together, and you will find that the Cooler Master V8 is an excellent choice for a cooling option, providing you can accommodate the space needed to install it. The V8 utilizes backplate style mounting which means you don't have to worry about the weight of the cooler being an issue unless you plan to move the rig a lot (LANs and so forth).

As mentioned in the video review the Cooler Master V8 is an excellent choice for a cooling option for any of the latest demanding CPU's today. Just make sure you have space in your case to install it. 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.

Today we have the chance to look at the Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler. Yes V8 in engine V8. Well it's not really an engine, but its pretty dang powerful like a V8 engine is. This award winning cooler offers four modular fin sets which have a total of eight heatpipes running through them. With 120mm fan backed by PWM and VR Controllers the V8 is both powerful and quiet. It is by far the best CPU Cooler we've reviewed.
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 Cooler Master V8 is by far the best performing cooler we've reviewed on this test system. It offers such a unique design and provides a whole ton of features. The PWM and VR Controller combined help give the V8 its powerful cooling performance. Powerful enough for overclocking capabilities this is by far the best product I've seen on the market for cooling any CPU, whether it's an i7, LGA 775, or AMD based socket the Cooler Master V8 has them all.
Overall Think Computers awards the Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler a 10 out of 10 score and our Editors Choice Award.

The Coolermaster V8 CPU cooler performed very well under testng. It proved that we can have great cooling capacity with quietness as well as having a CPU cooler that was asthetically pleasing for those with window mods on their cases. Also the Cooler Master V8 CPU cooler has a sturdy and solid design and it allowed the use of mounting with either using a retention plate or not using one. It gave AMD CPU users the freedom to be able to turn this unit 90 degrees to custom tailor it to their cooling needs. The retention plates had a solid, sturdy design that did not bend easily nor did they flex. The fan was barely audible even though the fan was at max throttle.

Overall, I was very impressed with this cooler, the design was magnificent and the performance was much better than I was expecting it to be. I would suggest that anyone who is looking for a new cooling solution to try this cooler out, or to anyone looking to begin down the overclocking road. This cooler should be able to not only keep your processor cool, but also make your case look great with it's red glow.

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. I recommend the Cooler Master to anyone in need of an after market cooler, but more particularly to overclockers because of its awesome cooling performance.

Notre avis n’a pas changé depuis notre test de novembre 2008, il se montre performant à 1200tpm avec de la discrétion alors qu’à 1800tpm il possède une réserve de performance mais avec un peu de bruit en plus. Positive points:
- Performance
- Fan
- Controller
- look
