Cooler Master V8 MOD Part 1 (Disassemble)

Here in (Part 1) I will demonstrate how to disassemble the CM V8's cover plate and fan. The V8 is a very nice looking cooler, but I feel CM left some room for improvements. We are preparing the V8 so we can add a mesh grill around the fan housing and add a few LED lights to jazz it up.

i want my v8 to blow the air out the back, should i install it like the one here in the video???

[WestCoastMods]

@nic23kilayko Yes, make sure your fan is facing the right direction. Fans pull air in from the front and exhaust through the back...so depending on how you want the air flow, will determine which way you orientate the fan.

i work at cooler master and i get to mess with all the stuff there woot woot!

v6gt is full of win when you swap out the fans for red led fans

[WestCoastMods]

@grouchy909 Would you be able to see them through the housing.

[moner65]

dude, ur awesome xD

[WestCoastMods]

@moner65 Thanks bro

[WestCoastMods]

@Bmacrae01 Are you serious dude, you need to see me use a Allen wrench and a screwdriver. I showed you where the screws where, didn't know I need to show you what a screwdriver is and how to use it.

cool! nice music .... I hate when all known a song because of guitar hero

[stalcueh]

My V8 fan started making noise recently...I had bought a fan before to replace the stock one for better air flow but was not able to remove the v8 from my mobo (the base screws are very difficult to get to and I was stripping the heads trying to loosen them). Can you get to the black screws (on the side) that you were showing without removing the entire unit from the case? I would imagine you would need to remove the RAM at least.

could ram vengeance install in first channel on the motherboard? mine v6 gt can't do that.

[robinbrandt]

Is it working to my socket 1155?!?!? :>

[protegetyupe]

its have V8 engine with 400 HP ^^

[grouchy909]

@WestCoastMods yes the led lights are inside the fan and look like a x or something like that. we carry green and blue fans also. the v6 gt lets you change the cooler light i think so it matches

[tanaii1]

i use the v8 with a noctua fan :)
