Nice cooler. What about some specs?

What kind of temps are you getting with it?

I keep my windows setting at 'High Performance' always. Most of the case fans (including the coolermaster) are on medium to low settings and my CPU idle's at 32-33C and when loaded goes to 45-47C with the occasional peak at 50-52C.

I have to add though that my CPU used to idle about 7-8C warmer and suddenly dropped when I up'd to the latest bios for this mobo. I was shocked at the change.

The video card, well that's kind of a different realm, considering how these new 5800's run so much cooler and use much less power than the traditional high performance video card.

My detailed system specs, as I'm sure you know but just in case, are available at the drop down tab at the bottom of my post.:)

Oh sweet, I'm getting around the same temps with the same cool.
I was afraid mine was running a little bit warm cause some people said they were getting like 25-30C


Are you using the thermal paste that came with the cooler?

How good is the coolermaster V8? i am really tempted to get one

Before I bought it I was doing some research trying to find an efficient cooler but with acceptable in noise levels. There was a good write up/comparison I found a while ago but can't recall off hand the website it was on.

You should look into the V10 as well although It is even bigger but cools your ram at the same time.
