Cooler Master V8 installation on an AMD Board

[jonreyblando]

Would you recommend installing this without taking out the motherboard from a case that has a cutout? How difficult would it be?

[DriodFX]

Does the hexagonal wrench come with the package? Or do you have to buy it separately.

[CoolerMasterNA]

@DriodFX it does come with the package

[comatron231]

Would it fit in a computer thats 210mm wide?

Nice vid =)

[ChipoltleXD]

I want this so badly. Going to put this in my next build

[PauliusSmile]

Easy

[paoloyu2296]

it looks like the engine of audi r8!

[v1James1v]

@paoloyu2296 Thats why its called Cooler master "v8"

[FrostyFang]

Does it work with am3?

[Moneyman462]

@FrostyFang Yes

[anxeLx]

This cooler work in AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition?

[Moneyman462]

@anxeLx Yes

[Amrut223]

@anxeLx Sure does i am using it now for my 1090T :)

[bayandsl]

this is a very big cooler

[AlmereCity7]

I dont know much about pc s so can someone say wat that is??

[sp1eedy]

can i install the cooler master v8 4 pin into 3 a pin motherboard cpu fan

[tomikause]

@sp1eedy: "If you connect the fan cable to 3-pin header on the motherboard, the PWM function will not work." => Yes you can.

[sloppiexx]

that thing is HUGE !! looks like a mini V8 car engine lol

[dragata1]

yea i love a v8 i had a custome mini build v8 put on my murray but it needs a radiator

[acer0169]

@sloppiexx hmm.. i wonder if that's where it gets it's name ¬__¬

[iskrukutum21]

hi guys! which procedure is easier? installing the V8 heatsink to the motherboard first before putting it on the case OR installing the motherboard first to the case before installing the v8? i need help im just a noob!

[LLOYD19851012]

it would be better installing the fan/heatsink first. then put the motherboard in the case. the fan weights a lot.

[KenRayadon]

Short, concise and to the point. Good for relieving my pre- purchase anxiety about the install.

[CABdosdos]

wow u have to flip the mobo to install lame....its gonna be a pain in the ass doin that when i have to remove a mobo attached to a 11inch 275 gtx

[GodlyMonkey12]

or u no just remove the gpu b4 installation

[CABdosdos]

yeah but it was worming it into the case to fit that sucked so doing it again is not something im gonna look forward to lol.

[zackcyboy]

Take out the video card...yoru gonna brake yoru board.

[KenRayadon]

@CABdosdos lol you mean you wouldn't remove it first? Dear god, even I'm not that stupid.

[airjamin8tor]

water cooling works better agreed, but I don't want the hassle of draining and filling every six months

[NightStrikeKill]

does it fit on AM3 ?

[nissan300ztt]

From what I understand It will work on an AM3 CPU.  The AM2+ and the AM3 are similar chips just one can used DDR3 ram.

[soccaman847]

yes it will fit am3

[nissan300ztt]

Yeah the V8 is definitely not as good as Water cooling. But its one of the best most efficient air cooling. I am getting one of these to put on my AMD Phenom II 940 and Ive seen guys using this CPU cooler and getting 4.2-4.4ghz from there phenoms.

[nissan300ztt]

Does anyone know if this will onto an ASUS m3n-ht deluxe motherboard. I really wanna get this for my 940. But I dont wanna have to upgrade mobos too.

[xch0k]

is the v8 as good as a water cooling system

[Nvidiamaster123]

NOOOO!!!! what makes you think that, no air cooling product is going to compare to a water cooling solution eficiency

[kraniumman]

Yes it is, thecost alone makes it better. Water cooloing is ok if you are a hardcore gamer- use autocad. But using water to cool any electronic device ist a wise idea unless you're ready to except the consequences

[mrh112]

it isnt water its a special non conductive liquid used in watercooling, well thats what i used anyway, if you used water it would cause rust on your system, i use oil anyway as it is more efficient at removing heat lol

[lionswo]

@kraniumman Non conducting coolant...

[starwarsfan76]

@kraniumman Water cooling isn't actual water you know right? It's a non conductive liquid.
