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

00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:14.480
heat sink it is a 180 WT cooling solution which is basically overpowered

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

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.920
etc etc you should experience the power of V8 it is compatible with core i7 Core

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:28.119
i5 core I3 and am3 and remember that anything that is am3 compatible is also

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:32.559
by extension compatible with am2 and am2 plus because they all use the same

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

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:40.160
closer look at the box here so Cooler Master VH horsepower any high

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:43.480
performance CPU four separate modular sets of aluminum fins create a large

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:47.320
heat dissipation surface eight heat pipes maximize heat transfer so that's

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

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

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.600
also got quiet operation at 17 to 21 DB

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:04.920
I mean those are basically the only important things about a CPU heat sink

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:08.520
uh the looks the heat dissipation and the noise level I mean I don't know

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

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

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

00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:27.759
there we go okay one of the other really important things is the mounting system

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:31.439
and you can tell when the manufacturer is cheaped out on the mounting system

00:01:29.720 --> 00:01:35.560
this does not look to be a case of cheaping out on the mounting system you

00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:41.040
can see that all of these parts are made of like quality looking steel okay so

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

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

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

00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:57.799
many people would be mounting something like this on socket 939 but there you go

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.320
and then you've got lga775 1156 and 1366 so that's how you

00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:08.319
get compatibility for all the different Intel core processors there's some kind

00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:12.760
of cheesy looking thermal compound that I probably wouldn't recommend using and

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:17.319
some tools just in case you need tools to install this heat sink awesome let's

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:24.200
get to the more interesting part and that is the V8 itself which is huge okay

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:28.360
uh users manual actually there we should talk about this first too so Cooler

00:02:26.519 --> 00:02:32.120
Master seems to be including wow a pretty detailed user manual showing you

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:37.440
all of the parts that should come with your V8 and giving you step-by-step

00:02:34.519 --> 00:02:42.680
instructions in about 342 different languages including English a bunch of

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

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.040
a six step five to six step installation

00:02:49.959 --> 00:02:57.280
procedure so that's pretty straightforward I guess and then on the

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.640
back wow even more languages cool so

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.280
anyone living in any one of those countries can install this sing assuming

00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:07.599
that they can read okay then we have the warranty

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:13.360
information which is also in a billion in one different languages 2-year

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:15.560
warranty there you go okay so here is

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:20.239
the V8 coming out of its clam shell it feels kind of like the Darth Vader

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

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

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

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

00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:45.159
can see that as they as advertised it has four separate heat

00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:48.920
finin segmented parts that are all connected by heat pipes to the base I'm

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.159
not sure what the actual technical cooling advantages are of that but there

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:56.439
must be something Cooler Master has been doing this for a very long time okay so

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

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:05.519
this way so that means that any air coming in from this side is cooling the

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

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

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

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

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.440
designs like this from the top and I mean this comes down to Aesthetics

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.479
personally I really like this I think that it's very stylish looking you got

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:35.039
your Cooler Master logo with a shiny

00:04:31.479 --> 00:04:36.360
V8 letters a shiny letters whatever

00:04:35.039 --> 00:04:41.120
anyway it looks kind of cool it looks kind of like an engine component or some

00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:43.400
kind of like high-end sort of feature

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:47.360
cool thing okay I'm sort of lacking English today but I think you get the

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

00:04:50.919 --> 00:04:59.160
count them 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 eight discrete

00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:03.840
heat pipes so it comes out to like 16 coming out pretty much okay carrying

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

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.280
obligatory shiny shot oh I can't hold

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

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.919
can show how shiny the base is really the shininess is not always relative

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:24.560
relevant because the most important thing is how flat it is because flatness

00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:30.680
is what's going to give you your heat conductivity not shininess so thank you

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:32.960
for checking out my oh no no not okay we

00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:36.560
have a sleeved black four pin fan connector here so that's a pwm fan

00:05:34.919 --> 00:05:40.800
inside that's kind of neat to see cuz most motherboards do support it these

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:45.199
days and then I finally figured out what this PCI bracket in the mounting

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:49.240
hardware box is for low high so you can actually take this off somehow there's

00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:52.639
probably some way to do it and you put this switch into the back of your

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:55.919
computer and you can adjust the dial here for how fast you want the fan to

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

00:05:58.039 --> 00:06:04.199
thank you for checking out my unboxing of The Cooler Master V8
