Someone makes a huge cube cooler and everyone follows. The PC industry to a tee.

Cooler Master brings back the V8 and makes it large enough to dwarf the original V8 which many thought was absurdly big at the time. :laugh:

And I hate it. They all look like crap, and the fan-mounting mechanisms are anti-consumer.

I'll wait for the V12....

Onasi · Jan 5, 2024

So… Are we taking bets yet whether this over-designed and over-built in all the wrong ways thing ends up losing in terms of cooling performance to a Thermalright cooler a third or a quarter of the price?

If you ask me it is a regression in CPU cooling. The advent of AIOs ushered in a new freedom in working in your PC.

1. No longer have to use a flashlight and screwdriver to push down on the latch to free the GPU from it's slot. (I know some MBs have a button now)
2. Use whatever RAM you want and easily replace it.
3. Be able to access the top M2 slot easily
4. Not absorbing heat from the GPU backplate when Gaming.
5. Do not need 3 hands to install on the MB.

There are situations where you should use an Air Cooler but that is if you don't have the space for an AIO. I know people talk about the fear of failure and they do fail but I have a Cooler Master Nepton 280mm that is currently cooling a 5900X mining 24/7. I bought that cooler when they were new so good on you Cooler Master.

Can somebody please tell me where is that cooling innovation? I can't find it.

I'm curious about RAM clearance. Cause I doubt that you can plug anything rather than a low profile sticks under this brick.

Looks like they are using standard fans inside their mounts, also unlike Bequite and Deepcool they have dedicated parts store where they do sale spares for a long time.

Edit: checked CM website and they have quite a few other products listed for CES apart from ones posted on TPU right now(there seems to be Throne X for which there is no news page posted so far). Here are link to rest of them:

Use of large vapor chamber so as to provide coverage to differently sized IHS.

@Chloefile your new cooler!! Xtra large...

I expected something else after seeing word huge.

But I agree... looks meh... like DIY 3Dprint... sand and paint it... and costs peanuts.

You got that from the post? Where?
And I'm still looking for the innovation.

How much weight can a motherboard CPU mount even hold?

They're saving that for the V10 refresh in which they continue to try to make TEC a thing. I'm expecting the V12 to be a solution in which the entire case becomes the cooler for the low-low price of $499.99.

Some motherboards come already with a backplate like mine...

Ed_1 · Jan 5, 2024

I don't think this is that big as it uses 120mm fans, so probably smaller than a NH-D15.

TumbleGeorge · Jan 5, 2024

3DVC in analogue to 3D V-Cache?

Now this is something with at least a new selling point, amidst this sea of mediocrity.
A case supporting motherboards with back connectors.

Cooler Master Debuts Three New Huge Coolers

Cooler Master impressed many at CES with three of the largest coolers to hit mass production soon. I'll start with the V12 cooler made of 8 heatpipes and cooled by two 120mm fans. Next is the V10 which consists of two 120mm fans, one mounted vertically and the other horizontally. The horizontal...

I vaguely remember seeing the V12 in a couple of builds. I think it was a decent-ish performer at the time? The V10 was indeed an abomination that I did see in some PC stores, but never in actual use by anyone. I kinda dig the idea, but, as always, cooling the memory sticks is almost useless and contorting the entire cooler into… that just for that purpose was absolute insanity.
God, has it really been 15 years already?

P4-630 · Jan 5, 2024

Didn't know they already made a V12 haha...

RH92 · Jan 6, 2024

They need to stop with the propriatary fan mounting mechanism trend . No standard fan mounting no money from me ...

Hopefully as they claim it really is an entry level case(sub $120 these days).

V12 never made it to manufacturing, only V10, V8 and V6 were what CM released.

in the video they keep talking about the heatpipe, also from pictures it does seem like the base is quite a bit large enough to provide more than enough coverage even with off set mounts on AMD platform. Hopefully CM will decide to sell this cooler with bare die mount just add to value.
