Looking to purchase a V8 to put on my new i7. Will it fit on the mobo without:

1) rubbing up against the NB

2) getting in the way of Corsair Dominator RAM?

Looks like it would be a tight fit, please respond if you have any insight. Thanks.

If its any help, the TRUE fits within 1cm of the NB heatsink...If the coolermaster is bigger, it may not fit

I have heard from other sources that it will fit no problems, i will update with confirmation once assembled. Thx

Are you dead set on a cooler master V8? Not the best bang for the buck. It should fit fine if you orient the fan vertically and not horrizontally. I am not sure about horizontal but it looks a bit wide.

not dead set, but i can get one from a buddy for super cheap. I've heard its not the best, but at the same time, far from the worst

can somebody please post the size of the nb heatsink, the one with the rails. i need to know to see what size fan could be the biggest i could fit on it, thabks!

I put a V8 on my Rampage 2 (which has a pretty big NB cooler) and it fits fine. That EVGA has a crazy NB cooler though, so it's anyones guess. I say, just get a Rampage 2!

The v8 fits fine on the x58... as for ram clearance, i'm not 100% sure. If you'd like, check my build log. There should be some pics in there that show the clearance on the x58
