A friend of mine is running an i7 at 4.2GHz atm and he isnt having any issues with temp at all. His previous OC was idling at -10 and fully loading at +10...
Coolermasters new CPU Coolers from CES...

Blimey, the V12 looks utterly insane. I wonder how much it weighs, and what the implications are with bolting something that large to a mobo. I mean, will there be room for anything else other than a CPU and that cooler?

That v12 looks interesting

Jesus. I suppose these could become the best coolers there are (for now at least), since if a V8 is about equal to the Noctua UH12P, surely the V10 and V12 must be even better?

If that's the case I may just upgrade my V8 to a V10 instead of going water cooling.

The V10 comes out this month in Europe however, it's price tag is said to be around the £100+ mark, and looking at the reviews (beta) the v8 seems to be better then the v10 or on average they're about the same.
The v12 looks interesting thats the cooler that might perform slightly better.

I find that very hard to believe.

Yeah, and at that temperature, he'd get condensation, then ice, then after he switches it off, water that runs down into the CPU. Not good. Unless you install some sort of bucket under the TEC (which I suppose is the advantage of running the TEC where it is on the v10, rather than between the CPU and HSF)

I'm going to hazard a guess and say it would cool an i7 to 75-80ish at 4ghz

I agree. Just read a few reviews at it's only a 70W peltier.
A 200+W peltier directly on top of the CPU would struggle to get any where near -10C.
V8 works pretty sweet for me - holds CPU temps below 60C on my Q6600 however much voltage or clockspeed I throw at it.
I had to use the nuts on the bottom tho as the backplate was shorting out the motherboard if I put it on tight enough to hold the cooler on properly. Doesn't seem to be a problem even with the size and weight of it not using the backplate.
