Sodium Bromate Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I just finished watching 3DGAMEMAN's video review of the CM V10, and I was pretty impressed. He overclocked his i7 920 to 4GHz (1.3V) and his maximum temperature was 66 degrees. The only trade off is that the V10 is massive and kind of loud. Now that I've watched the video and read a few reviews, I'm not sure which one to get; the NH-U12P or V10 Any recommendations?

TheConqueror Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 First of all, I never trust 3DGameMan cooler reviews. He makes them sweeter, He got 70C on an i7 920 OCed to 4GHz with a zalman CNPS9900. THat is BS, the zalman fails. Get a thermalright TRUE, a scyhte ultra kaze, and lap the true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodium Bromate Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Weird. I kind of knew that it was too good to be true. Also, I think I'll stick with the NH-U12P. Mainly because of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 The Noctua and the T.R.U.E. are very close. Personally I'd pick whatever is a better price (there isn't that much difference in high end air cooling), if you want better, look at a custom water cooling kit (from petra's, etc). If you go with the Noctua U12P, you won't have to lap it, like you would with a T.R.U.E. Sooner or later I'll lap mine...too many other things to do ATM.

maj0rgamer Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) except for the noise, the v10 seems like quite a cooler...thought about getting it actually for a possible future phenom ll 940 build. if you're not worried about noise and don't upgrade ram often (as it's quite large), it's probably a nice choice. may be one of those looks better than performs deal though, not sure... the hardware has a nice build. as far as the noctua nh-u12p goes, it looks quite nice too. have you seen review? it may be a bit heavy, but besides that...perhaps it's excellent. do you already have this cooler? if so, why not just stick with it.

Sodium Bromate Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 @Maj0r Nope, I don't have it yet. Currently I have a CoolerMaster V8, which I'm moderately happy with I have an E8400 @ 4.2 GHz, and it maxes at around 75 degrees I'm planning to build a new computer soon though. And yeah, I've seen that review It seems like an awesome cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
