00:00:01,839 --> 00:00:09,760
okay so today I'm going to be doing an unboxing of The Cooler Master V8 CPU

2
00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:14,480
heat sink it is a 180 WT cooling solution which is basically overpowered

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,160
for all but the most overclocked CPUs so it's going to be able to keep you cool

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,920
etc etc you should experience the power of V8 it is compatible with core i7 Core

5
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:28,119
i5 core I3 and am3 and remember that anything that is am3 compatible is also

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:32,559
by extension compatible with am2 and am2 plus because they all use the same

7
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,960
mounting hole so there actually no there is more on the box let's actually have a

8
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:40,160
closer look at the box here so Cooler Master VH horsepower any high

9
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:43,480
performance CPU four separate modular sets of aluminum fins create a large

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,320
heat dissipation surface eight heat pipes maximize heat transfer so that's

11
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:50,840
probably where the V8 comes from it has a center mounted 120 mm fan which I've

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:58,000
always thought is kind of a smart way to do the design and I'll show you that when we get inside okay and then you've

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,600
also got quiet operation at 17 to 21 DB

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,920
I mean those are basically the only important things about a CPU heat sink

15
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:08,520
uh the looks the heat dissipation and the noise level I mean I don't know

16
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:14,479
maybe there's something other than that actually you know what no that's not the only thing one really important thing is

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,920
that did I just cut the seals on this side and then try to open it from the

18
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:23,360
other side why is this not working I will have to find out how to get ah

19
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:27,759
there we go okay one of the other really important things is the mounting system

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,439
and you can tell when the manufacturer is cheaped out on the mounting system

21
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,560
this does not look to be a case of cheaping out on the mounting system you

22
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:41,040
can see that all of these parts are made of like quality looking steel okay so

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,479
you can't expect any of this to like Bend or anything like that okay so you

24
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,920
can see we've got a multi back plate here this back plate is set up for

25
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:53,600
am2 actually it looks like it even has 939 holes so I'm not I'm not sure how

26
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:57,799
many people would be mounting something like this on socket 939 but there you go

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,320
and then you've got lga775 1156 and 1366 so that's how you

28
00:02:01,479 --> 00:02:08,319
get compatibility for all the different Intel core processors there's some kind

29
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:12,760
of cheesy looking thermal compound that I probably wouldn't recommend using and

30
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:17,319
some tools just in case you need tools to install this heat sink awesome let's

31
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:24,200
get to the more interesting part and that is the V8 itself which is huge okay

32
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:28,360
uh users manual actually there we should talk about this first too so Cooler

33
00:02:26,519 --> 00:02:32,120
Master seems to be including wow a pretty detailed user manual showing you

34
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:37,440
all of the parts that should come with your V8 and giving you step-by-step

35
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:42,680
instructions in about 342 different languages including English a bunch of

36
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:49,959
stuff I can't read German uh Spanish and French okay awesome it looks to be about

37
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,040
a six step five to six step installation

38
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:57,280
procedure so that's pretty straightforward I guess and then on the

39
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,640
back wow even more languages cool so

40
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,280
anyone living in any one of those countries can install this sing assuming

41
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,599
that they can read okay then we have the warranty

42
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:13,360
information which is also in a billion in one different languages 2-year

43
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,560
warranty there you go okay so here is

44
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,239
the V8 coming out of its clam shell it feels kind of like the Darth Vader

45
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:26,000
helmet but there is tape and I couldn't see it so now I have cut the tape and

46
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,599
there we go now we are extracting it from the cooler you know what this isn't

47
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:33,959
actually as big as I was expecting it to be it looked like it was going to be

48
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:38,400
like way huger than this okay so let's have a look first from the side so you

49
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:45,159
can see that as they as advertised it has four separate heat

50
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:48,920
finin segmented parts that are all connected by heat pipes to the base I'm

51
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,159
not sure what the actual technical cooling advantages are of that but there

52
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:56,439
must be something Cooler Master has been doing this for a very long time okay so

53
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,120
then you've got your 25mm fan in the middle now the 25 mil fan is blowing

54
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:05,519
this way so that means that any air coming in from this side is cooling the

55
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,720
base and then the air gets heated up a little bit and then gets blown out the

56
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:14,040
other side and is also cooling the base so they're able to make use of not only

57
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,600
the push air coming out of the fan but also the pull air coming into the fan

58
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:23,120
from the other side I think this is really smart and we're seeing a lot more heat sinks these days coming out with

59
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:26,440
designs like this from the top and I mean this comes down to Aesthetics

60
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:31,479
personally I really like this I think that it's very stylish looking you got

61
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:35,039
your Cooler Master logo with a shiny

62
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:36,360
V8 letters a shiny letters whatever

63
00:04:35,039 --> 00:04:41,120
anyway it looks kind of cool it looks kind of like an engine component or some

64
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,400
kind of like high-end sort of feature

65
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:47,360
cool thing okay I'm sort of lacking English today but I think you get the

66
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:56,479
point and then let's get down to the base itself so you can see we have eight

67
00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:59,160
count them 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight discrete

68
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:03,840
heat pipes so it comes out to like 16 coming out pretty much okay carrying

69
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:10,000
heat up to the taller parts of the heat sink and then we have you can do the

70
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,280
obligatory shiny shot oh I can't hold

71
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,039
this in one hand like that I don't have a good grip okay there we go so there we

72
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:18,919
can show how shiny the base is really the shininess is not always relative

73
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:24,560
relevant because the most important thing is how flat it is because flatness

74
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:30,680
is what's going to give you your heat conductivity not shininess so thank you

75
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:32,960
for checking out my oh no no not okay we

76
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,560
have a sleeved black four pin fan connector here so that's a pwm fan

77
00:05:34,919 --> 00:05:40,800
inside that's kind of neat to see cuz most motherboards do support it these

78
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:45,199
days and then I finally figured out what this PCI bracket in the mounting

79
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:49,240
hardware box is for low high so you can actually take this off somehow there's

80
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,639
probably some way to do it and you put this switch into the back of your

81
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:55,919
computer and you can adjust the dial here for how fast you want the fan to

82
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,680
run that's kind of nice to have and it's kind of a cool looking shiny switch

83
00:05:58,039 --> 00:06:04,199
thank you for checking out my unboxing of The Cooler Master V8
