The V8 isnt nearly as bad as the V10, I just replaced mine with water, but was happy with the V8.

However, the V8 has the exact same downside.

It costs ALOT more than one of the BETTER coolers.

V8 isn't a very good cooler. Xigmatek's do better than it. Oh yeah, and the mounting hardware for the v8 is ridiculous. Once you put the heatsink on the cpu, you have to turn OVER the mobo and then install the backplate.

Don't get the V8 either, it cools alright but there are much better coolers for less money. Get the Megahalem that Sleeping Giant linked to, it is by far the best cooler on the market right now.

I would definitely get a Megahalems if I could afford it. I'd have to buy the heatsink along with the AM3 retention bracket, fan clips and a fan. Gonna go with a Dark Knight instead.

Why are we telling people to buy the Dark Knight with an AMD processor still?

Dark Knight is not a bad choice, the mount works perfectly if you have a top exhaust fan. For example the Antec x00 series cases.
