Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler Review

Final Thoughts
Being honest, i had my reservations about this cooler when we first had it come through our doors. It had been given awards, but anyone can do that and even then, the awards it has were from 2009. It is also a lot cheaper than some of the big contenders on the market and gave the assumption is was a marketing based product with its V8 name, and wouldn’t deliver. Boy were we wrong.

The build quality is nothing short of what we expect from any Cooler Master product and the features that it includes are second to none with adjustable fan speeds and CPU socket support galore. It’s far from noisy on the lowest setting and will only cause concern if you have it ramped up to the full 1800RPM, but even then we’ve heard a lot worse.

It is said to deliver as a 180W cooling solution and we believe it too. We have to comment that it’s one of those products that you really have to see to believe, and we feel the results we obtained do that clearly and for a bang for buck price of £38, how can you really go wrong? The pricing on this unit is amazing and we don’t see how Cooler Master can produce a quality item like this for that low a price. We do feel that Cooler Master could charge just below £50 for this but we won’t tell them that, otherwise they may increase it and you’ll pay more and that’s the last thing we want for you.

In all honesty, if you are after a tried and tested CPU cooler that has already stood the test of time, produces great results and is affordable, look no further than the Cooler Master V8, as it will always come in at pole position.

Pros:
