I have the V8 and it has done amazing things. But, for double the money, I don't think this is really worth the high price tag unless you want to do some intense overclocking.

holy.... i afraid my m/b gonna break from this monster...

See... there is eh, cool, and then there is pushing it.. You know those women who get breast implants that make their breasts larger then basketballs? Yea, this is just like that, its pushing it. Sure it looks neat but cmon now..

Yikes that almost the size of a motherboard!

Can motherboards really support this weight? I can only imagine the pain of cracking a motherboard.

WTF....Holy S*&# , I mean huh?

This thing is rediculas, I can think of many different models of high performance RAM that this thing wouldnt even clear.

Yea I kinda have to agree with he Boobs comment. But i think its more like a penis extension.

ARGH! That's what I'm talking about. I love seeing manly components like this hit the market. I'm going to buy it just because it looks cool. I don't care how well it performs.

I was waiting on this release, but I think I'll pass until the price drops. They've had another cooler like this that was just as big without all the plastic and the peltier, and I have two monsterous kaze (130cfm each) fans bolted to it, and it holds up just fine.

this is crazy.. on newegg it says it weighs 1,2kg!! (2.6 pounds) i dont see how you could put this in a normal tower without ripping something off of the motherboard, let alone fit it inside.

$140?? Spend about $50-90 more and you can have a decent WC loop for cooling the CPU.

I have huge P80 LianLi and the rather large Vigor MonsoonIII and it BARELY fits to the back of the case and touches the fins on my Corsair Dominators. It also actually touches the fins of the voltage regulator on the mobo and EVGA X58 for which I had to bend the fins slightly to keep pressure of them from the cooler. I don't see how this would fit on the majority of enthusiast boards who already have a collection of finned, heatsinked and fanned components in the way.

Is that a CPU cooler or wind tunnel?

They need to add more to it I want the whole mobo covered up.. This is a mobo cracker for real!!! MAKE IT BIGGER!!! I WANT 10 LBS HANGGIN OFF MY MOBO

I have the V8 and it weights 870g about 2lbs and I don't have any problems with it on my ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe. Although there definately is a large difference regarding space left w/in the case. I just get the impression that the air flow is far from optimal with that cpu fan in its path.

What kinda of temps is this thing showing idle and under load?

This thing made me choke on my morning soda. Good lord... shes huge... But beauuuuuuuuutifulllll...

haha that is laughable massive! this is the first offical case where bigger isn't better.

Its too bad i read the article and didnt look at the pics till later, It sounded promising, i was almost excited. But there is just no way im placing a 2.5 pound heatsink on my MB unless they have some crazy massive backplate with it.

Thats no moon!

i'm shocked .... seriously LOL i'm not sure rather or not i would be more scared of this cooler or more scared of water cooling (.)_(.)

let em see water cooling gasket braks water goes on your MB ...

this cooler to heavy for main board and crack !


i think the only way this thing would be worth it is if it can cool down future 8 or 16 core procs to around 40-50 c

otehr than that there are great coolers that are a bit more conservative that do fine on 2 core and 4 cor procs i'm running a master cooler hyper Tx-2 (24 $ at new egg) and it keeps my 2 core proc great at 28 c idle with a 38 c load temp, and i have seen it on a 4 core set up keeping temps running around 40-50 c why any moron would need this monster for a 2 core or 4 core chip is beyound me ???? i eman yeah nice effort cool master i love your coolers but this thing seems a bit ahead of it's time ... make a 8 core model when intel/amd have 8 core chips, and then i'll get back to you on this beast.

Do you need to say "TEC cooling"? Kind of like ATM machine? Redundancy department of Redundancy?

One more thing that dosen't make sense is exactly how would the TEC work? Wouldn't it add more heat if it kicks in when the temps are too high? Also how is the TECs hot side cooled?

LOL Goodbye K&N!! I'm putting the CoolerMaster V10 in my car!!

That thing is seriously overkill in size. You'd have to remove the cooler anytime you want to add/remove memory sticks from what those pictures suggest. I thought my Xiggy was big...

Wonder how that thing performs.

^ LOLZ. K&N makes good filters and intakes.

Massive indeed, would be nice too see what kinda temps this holds. One other thing to keep in mind, a good TEC Cooler requires ALOT of power draw, hope your psu is up to it. Seems it isn't positioned directly in-between the cpu and HS so it must be higher up in between the fins.

thx jkflipflop98 because i wanted to get it, unfortunately it does not support viper series v8 then
