Cooler Master V8, CPU cooler Super Charged
Description
I've had my Cooler Master V8 since around 2010, bought it for my Phenom II X6. The cooler has proven to be a great cooling solution, and although there were many improvements along the way in cooling alternatives, never really got the necessity to change it for a better cooling solution up until now. My PC started to shut down caused by excessive CPU temperatures when rendering (above 85 Celsius), and wanted a new cooler (I was thinking of getting some water cooled option) but decided to give my old reliable V8 a second chance and I don't regret it. I bought a set of 3 120mm fans for around 14 USD, and designing an extensor, printing 8 pieces of it and finally fixing all together, I got temperatures when rendering below 44 Celsius, which is great! When the PC is idle in normal tasks, like PDFs, Web Browsing and any non-demanding task, the temperatures are around 2-4 Celsius above the room temperature. Since the pieces are printed in PETG, they are flexible enough to adapt. The extensions have 50mm in length, but I attached the file if you need to change that. Now, for the important part: -Download the extensor and print 4 pieces for each extra fan, in my case 2 extra fans means that I had to print 8 pieces. -Once printed, disassemble the V8 cooler and remove the Stock fan (optional). -Fix one extensor for each corner of the fan, I recommend to start with the outer fan and then once it is fixed with an extensor in each corner, then you fix it to the central fan. - Enjoy low temperatures in a legacy but cool CPU cooler. Now you have evolved from a V8 to a V8 Super Charged. :)
