Cooler Master V8 GTS High Performance CPU Cooler

It keeps my System at 24c when gaming. I really do like this Megatron Head cooler. It keeps it cool WOW, I'm running a MSI 990FXA-GD80 that had a Cool Master and it keep it at about 32c, Then is stopped performing.
No longer need to leave my window open in winter to keep my PC cool.
This beast is insane! After my pump in my custom water loop almost blew up, I decided to switch to air cooling. Me being an extreme person saw this and said "I must have it!" So I bought it.
Does a great job on cooling efficiency. Stable 32C. Never breaks 35C under load.
This is a massive improvement from my low grade Deepcool FROSTWIN v2.0.

Cooler Master MasterAir Maker 8 High-end CPU Air Cooler

This air cooler works really great! High quality and can't even hear it running.
Keeps my system cool. LEDs are very cool. The position makes them look like flames.
Great CPU cooling system no problems there, works fine was a tight fit on my case.
This cooler is massive. Does perform well and keeps my 6700k cool.
It's great and super powerful. Great cooling for overclock who dislike liquid cooling.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Cooler Master V8 GTS High Performance CPU Cooler

The Cooler Master V8 GTS's unique design allows the heatsink placement to blow air out of the top of the case.
Covers up the top PCI-E slot on Z375 Godlike. Can be difficult to start mounting nuts due to headers.
Very very large (Can be a pro, depending on your chassis. My In-Win GT1 with clear window barely was able to close. It presses on the V8 a bit, and the V8 needed to be mounted sideways to even get close to fitting.)
Only downside is that it is massive and was 3 centimeters too long for my inwin 905 case, so I have to get a new, but I needed a new case anyway, so no real issue there.
On the large size, height wise, suggest adding to the description you need at least a 8" wide case

Cooler Master MasterAir Maker 8 High-end CPU Air Cooler

Easy to install, looks cool. Great size.
This was one of the easiest cooling systems to install. Has great size and it works great.
Great size and great cooling for the size.
Great combination of size and performance.
Just take care about the size of your cabinet / case because it's really big this cooler!

What customers say about "Features"

Cooler Master V8 GTS High Performance CPU Cooler

Comes with perfect amount of thermal paste
It looks amazing when installed. The noise is moderate but not noticeable when you don't focus on it. Overall good build quality with minor quirks.
Very VERY difficult to clean, if your case has a dust problem. Canned air just doesn't shine it up like new. It requires disassembly for proper "back to new" cleaning.
Noisy. A high pitched noise alternates between high-low frequency constantly.
The manual is horrendous. There is literally no way to make sense of the instructions if you're a person who likes to according to the book, or manual.

Cooler Master MasterAir Maker 8 High-end CPU Air Cooler

This is a great cooler, good performance and nice looking, and in my case very silent even at max fan speed.
The LEDs on top look very good, even is a closed case.
LED lighting effects are really cool! Totally recommend this cooler!
Quiet. Even when the fans are maxed the sound is hardly noticeable.
Straight forward installation. Solid mounting brackets.
