Cooler Master V8, Super Charged CPU cooler.

I've had my Cooler Master V8 since around 2010, bought it for my Phenom II X6.

The cooler has proven to be a great cooling solution, and although there were many improvements along the way in cooling alternatives, never really got the necessity to change it for a better cooling solution up until now.

My PC started to shut down caused of excessive CPU temperatures when rendering (above 85 Celsius), and wanted a new cooler (I was thinking of getting some water-cooled option) but decided to give my old reliable V8 a second chance and I don't regret it.

I bought a set of 3 120mm fans for around 14 USD, designed an extensor, printed 8 pieces of it, and finally fixed it all together, I got temperatures when rendering below 44 Celsius, which is great!

When the PC is idle in normal tasks, like PDFs, Web Browsing, and any non-demanding task, the temperatures are around 2-4 Celsius above the room temperature.

Since the pieces are printed in PETG, they are flexible enough to adapt.
The extensions are 50mm in length, but I attached the file if you need to change that.

Now, for the important part:

-Download the extensor and print 4 pieces for each extra fan, in my case 2 extra fans means that I had to print 8 pieces.

-Once printed, disassemble the V8 cooler and remove the Stock fan (optional).

-Fix one extensor for each corner of the fan, I recommend starting with the outer fan, and then once it is fixed with an extensor in each corner, you fix it to the central fan.

• Enjoy low temperatures in a legacy but cool CPU cooler.

Now you have evolved from a V8 to a V8 Super Charged. :)
