Cooler Master V8
The scorching temperatures outside are ready to give you and your PC a bit of a headache. You’ll probably be relying on huge fans and air conditioners for yourself, but don’t forget to upgrade the PC cooling systems in case Everest reports some nasty temperatures inside your shiny case. If water cooling isn’t what you need for the moment and you’d like to stick to old school air stuff, maybe you should check what Cooler Master prepares for you this July.
That would be Cooler Master’s new V8 CPU cooler. It’s sort of big, measuring 120 x 128 x 161.1mm so you might want to check if you have enough room around the CPU in order to fit this behemoth. Moreover, it weighs 865g because it has four aluminum heatsinks which are connected to the copper base via eight 6mm heat-pipes. The heatsinks are cooled by a big 120mm fan placed in the middle of the cooler.
According to Fudzilla, the imposing fan integrates a nice rifle bearing system and it can spin up between 800 and 1800 RPMs. The good thing is that you also get a speed controller bundled with this one. V8 supports all the actual platforms out there including Intel's LGA775 and AMD's older 940 plus AM2/AM2+ socket processors.
There’s no price info for the moment, but at least we know it’ll hit the US market in a couple of weeks, while Europe will have to wait for it until August.

That’s quite large. Resembles an engine more then a heatsink.
