Limited to using 25mm thick fans
Slightly concave base (not perfectly flat)
Priced on par with "elite" air coolers and water cooling solutions
Installation is more difficult than really needs to be
Not that much of a cooling difference between low and high fan speeds.
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 han...

Abstract: 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 a...

Abstract: When I first saw the V8 I had my doubts about its ability to cool a CPU at all, I was concerned that it would be another GeminII S and look good but not work as well as some of the claims on the box.After working with it and running it through its pace...
The Cooler Master V8 is, in short, good. To say it in such terms really however doesnt do it justice. The heatsink easily competes and matches with other leading coolers of its class, like the legendary TRUE and Cooler Masters own Hyper Z600, while...
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 cool...
