Cooler Master V8
I was wondering, has anyone had any experience with this cpu cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...5103055&Tpk=V8
I'm building a new i7-based system and looking for some aftermarket cooling solutions for possible moderate overclocking (bringing a 920 to the speed of a 940). As I understand, the stock heatsinks leave much to be desired with these cpu's often reaching beyond 60C on load. |

Those heatsinks don't say they're compatible for the i7's.

If you look at this pic of the box: (you'll have to click the picture with the retail box in it to see this) http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowIm...20CPU%20Cooler You can see it says "LGA 1366 Ready" and in one of the reviews the person said it came with the bracket for the new socket
 Just wondering if they're going to provide a real improvement over the stock heatsink...

I'd be sure that it was going to fit my board or even fit more than one way before I blew the cash and ended up with a glorified paper weight.
