Default V8 versus world.
Does the v8 looking so cool justify it's purchase over any of the better coolers out there such as the megahalems or TRUE. How much lower are load temps on the megahalems versus v8. Thanks guys.

depends on how much you pay for it, it will be beat by both the mega and the TRUE, but it's still a very nice cooler, performance wise that is

Cool looks....
Are you going to be dragging your case around everywhere to show of to your friends and strangers about how freaking 1337 and awesome your v8 cpu cooler is? Most of them will probably think you're a little whacked in the head.

Do the right thing since this is ocn, "the pursuit of performance" and actually buy a cooler that performs better instead of one that "looks better".

Don't get the V8. Get a Megahalems with push/pull san ace fans.

I had a V8 and upgraded to a megatron. The difference is about 5c at load and that was before it started getting really warm here. I heard the megatron does really well as it gets warmer. I think it was a worthy upgrade and they cost about the same (it did for me).

Bottom line: Get the Megahalem.
