Anyone know when this thing is going to be released. The V8 has been out for a while and the V10 has been released recently on Newegg but I can't find the V12. It looks like two V8's in one.

Looks like its got a nice base with some awesome pipes, too.

Sad thing is...probably still wouldn't beat the TRUE.
Can't say that for sure, you never know until its tested

, but yea, they'll probably have to come up with some new mounting solution

Yeah just like the V10 with it's TEC can't even hang with the TRUE. Maybe cooler master should stick to making cases...

Like already said, it's a prototype (some people on other forums have asked CM reps and have been told this), it's basically not coming out.

hmm i was wondering also if you look at the V8 its got 1 fan in the middle, wouldnt it be more productive to put 3 fans on the V8 like 3 110cfm 1000Db

That think is monstrous my computer would lay on its side for its entire lifetime... and how would you take that to a LAN without hurting your Mobo in transit i mean <1000g ones are fine if its travelling on its side but this looks almost like 2000g

This would also add to it's already hefty price, and probably not help much with temps in the long run.

Yea thats an awesome cooler but the thing is If it holds the price of like the v10 and only cools around the same its not worth it. I was reading some reviews and the v10 was only like 2-3c cooler than the Noctua and you can buy two Noctua for the price of one v10. 2-3c isn't going to make a different for me or anyone else unless they are pushing their stuff to the max.

nice idea.. my HAf932 and V8 cooler is all I need. With that thing you will need some sort of support under it. You can always try to hang it up with cables in you cas

i straped an old 80mm 4000rpm fan to the side of mine and it took over 5C off the load temp, going push push pull with it soon it really does help alot
