Just to let people know I love cooler master, but one should pick what he buys from them IMHO.. i got the scout and its a GooD case, its not perfect, every now and then I find some problems i wish i could fix, but shits gots rivets 🙁 throughout but i love their new 90cfm fans, things put some air in and they're pretty quiet.. anyways
So i got my v8 and was carried away w/ all the hype that comes w/ it, i mean the things sexy, the red radiating from the center goes perfectly w/ my case and it looks as though it would do quite a cooling job! But, once i screwed the 1366 hardware to the thing, one of their flush-mount screw's head broke off, no biggie maybe just over-tightened it a lil too much... so i get another, get the thing into my case, still looks saweet. go to put the retension bracket on and notice it only has 3 of the plastic insulators on the back, no biggie, UPS guys can be a lil robust and chuck stuff, still not CM's deal... so i find something to pad and give it some space so when i screw the pl8 on i'm pretty level, and thus have similar dissipation throughout, then w/ the nuts, get to crossed on and the third won't tighten, its completely stripped and i havn't even fastened it yet. By now im getting a little bit frustrated.. so i finally get the thing to hold itself on w/ what seems securely so i boot up ambient temps about 70f- idk C- anyways im getting around 60C idle temps- pissed... So i tighten the nuts a bit more, and then boot. Sweet hit the sweet spot idles around 30 load at 55 or so.. then the fan starts clicking so i poke around and boom. falls onto my top 4890 and made 2 of the mobo's holes a bit bigger, after messing w/ it i gave up and got a rosewill fort120 w/ 50c Max on my i7 at 3.8.. Is this just a fluke or is there a bit of it going around?
