Ultra120 vs V10

Hey all - as the title suggests really, I love the look of the CM-V10 and just wondering how it would compare to the Thermalright Ultra120

I imagine it to be better as it's newer etc but you never know do ya!

Thanks in advance...

Ultra120 will edge it but you wont really notice it.

I love the look of the CM-V10

Each to their own I suppose!

LOL fair enough - so I might as well stick with my 120? That's cool

saves me a few quid lol

Coolermaster V10 also has a built in ram cooler too doesn't it? Either way, it looks better but I doubt it will be anymore than visual upgrade.

V10 is a failed TEC solution. Credit to CM for trying something new however on this ocassion it simply doesn't work as well as they would have liked.

I like the look of it too but I wouldn;t fancy having to remove the heatsink every time I changed memory.

Fair play though, how often do you change memory?

It is a bit of a gimmick cooler isn't it

I just think it looked cool with the downward facing LED fan

SouthEastBlue, it's not a RAM cooler, it's a TEC cooler for extra cooling performance when the CPU gets over a certain temperature (unfortunately that temp is silly high so most of the time it's off (I would bypass that however and simply have that fan plugged into a PWM socket or slap a molex on it

)

Yeah, did one build with a V10 for a guy who wanted uber bling. Did a little comparison and the Megahalems and U120E revision C i had on hand ate it alive.
