xXxsephirothxXx · 28 Feb 2010 at 13:23

im thinking of getting a coolermaster v10 TEC Hybrid CPU Cooler but people are sayin that this beast is massive . and i just want too know before i buy it if it would fit in to a antec 902 case . if it doesnt then can someone recommend a good air cooled cpu cooler that would fit into a antec 902 case. one of the resons im getting the V10 is it cools the ram. and my loading times grind too a halt it the pc has been on allday playin games.

cheers

The link below gives you the phyisical dimensions of the V10.

the V8 I have is very similiar, without the side shroud for RAM cooling, and that just has clearance on the side window of my Antec 1200, About 8 - 10mm ish not a lot!!!!

That is big... do they work well for their size?

Yup
Did a mad splash and dash OC up to 4Ghz on the i7 and it only just tipped over into the low 70's on full load.
When I get time I'm going to turn the juice up again but hopefully will be able to spend time knocking the voltage back to lower the temps further.
The V10 is a ugly beasty !!!!!

It's 2 PCs, one on a 1kw, the other on a 500w.

Indeed!!!

The 500w is driving the basics plus 3 HDD's, 2 optical drives, 4 fans, and still a tv card and sound card to go yet!!!

Looking at this review, I wouldn't go for the V10. Considering the Megahalems + 2 very good fans is £75 and the V10 is £91, the V10 just doesn't make sense.
