Pictures

The front of the box looks pretty cool right?

This is the side of the box showing the cooler along with all the different sockets that it can be mounted on.

 

 

Here is the back of the box where you can find all of the products specifications and features.

 

This is the top of the box with the products tag line.

 

If you wish to see any of the above pictures in a larger size, please click them. So far, it looks pretty beastly to me, can't wait to see how this puppy performs!

Here you can see some of my random pictures hanging on the wall in the reflection of the base of the cooler. This is the part that sits on top of the processor allowing the processor to run cooler and for heat to be transferred.

 

 

And now we move on to the included items. Cooler Master includes a user manual which was written in several different languages, Warranty information, T.E.C. information, and also mounting brackets, screws and even thermal paste.

 

 

This is the V10 installed into my Cooler Master HAF case. Beefy!

 

 Here is the cooler from outside the glass on my case, the lights seem a bit disappointing.

Testing

I will be comparing the Cooler Master V10 with a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme that has two fans mounted to it (2 Antec Tri-Cool). Idle temperatures were recorded after 15 minutes of letting everything sit there with no applications open. Load temperatures were recorded after 1 hour of Running 8 workers of Prime-95. Intel Burn simply does not work on my current Vista install, so that's why you don't see it as the testing application. Temperatures are recorded in C, a.k.a. Celsius and the ambient temps for the testing area were 21.5C.

Test System:

Core i7 920 @ 3.3GHz
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
ECS X58B-A Motherboard
3GB Samsung Tri-Channel RAM
Cooler Master HAF 932
640GB WD HDD
700W OCZ GameXStream
TRUE 120 & Cooler Master V10 (of course!)

 

Test Results:

TRUE with 2 fans (push, pull)

IDLE:  29, 24, 29, 25
LOAD: 46, 42, 46, 42
