The V10

The V12 (Mother of GOD!)

TechPowerup.com said:
Cooler Master impressed many at CES with three of the largest coolers to hit mass production soon. I'll start with the V12 cooler made of 8 heatpipes and cooled by two 120mm fans. Next is the V10 which consists of two 120mm fans, one mounted vertically and the other horizontally. The horizontal fan is located above the DIMM-slots and will cool the ram through the fins of the cooler later. His little brother, the V8 just like the car engines has a slightly different design that the V12, with only one 120mm fan located in the middle of the cooler. Other specs are still to come.

EEEK!

haha are they just trying to make the biggest coolers in the world.

I'm still trying to figure out how you'd get under the V12 to mount the thing!

My main concern would be the amount of pressure on the cpu socket, and the stress on the motherboard if you ever tried to move your PC.

There needs to be someway to support the heatsinks on the case, there getting so big and heavy, just an adjustable bracket to take up the weight pulling on the motherboard.

Like the look of the V8 one, and as people have said will be interesting to see these actually fitted to something and see their cooling effect

Put me down for that V12! lol!

£100 anyone?

They look more like transformers (and i dont mean the robots

) than coolers. Anyone with an overclock that produces that much heat will probably be on water anyway.

PK!

Shock and awe!

That'd bend my case never mind my motherboard!!!

Competition is good, and that is what these coolers are bringing.

Some of those look designed for the btx form factor.

Absolutely mental!

Gerard · 11 Jan 2008 at 19:22

v12 looks pretty mental, assload of heatpipes but what kind of weight would that thing have. 2 120mm fans as well. Also looks like it could be a pain in the ass to mount.

Oh, my lord.

Look forward to some testing although I am reminded of the pre production shots of the GEMINI cooler, we were all in shock at the pics of that but it turned out to be an average performer?

I do like the look of these new Coolemasters though!

They look class

plus looking at the antec 900 as my next purchase and can see problems fitting one of those monsters in lol

that V8 looks a bit juicy other two are just over doing it

RJC · 11 Jan 2008 at 20:43

Crikey their huge, put the Scythe and Tuniq Tower to shame :eek:

Munkeh · 11 Jan 2008 at 21:21

The V8 looks semi-decent. The other two just seem like over sized hype-machines!
