As computers are getting more and more powerful, the heat dissipated by the active pieces of hardware is exponentially growing, and cooling solutions providers are challenged into designing efficient and noiseless
fans. Cooler Masters have a long tradition in developing and producing this kind of hardware, and it's no wonder that they are the owners of the big guns here.

Cooler Masters are now the designers of the largest coolers on the market so far, which they have proudly showcased during the Consumer Electronics Show. The biggest cooler in the series is the V10 monster, that comes equipped with two 120mm fans, one mounted vertically and the other horizontally.

It features six chrome heatpipes that penetrate two sets of both horizontal and vertical fins, seated in a protective polymer case with ventilation holes. The black case looks like a car's air filter and not only protects the fan's blades from touch, but also minimizes the vibration by keeping the fins together as an unit.

"Little" brother V8 comes with a single fan, but the passive cooling has been extended through four sets of fins placed both vertically and horizontally. The 120mm fan is located in the middle of the cooler and is protected by the same model of polymer-based cover. It also features six chromium heatpipes that pass through the fins at one end, while the other holds the perfectly finished heatsink slate.

The V12 is purely and simply massive. Perfectly square, the cooler has a brick-like aspect. It is the largest cooler in the series and, at the same time, the only one to feature eight heat-conductive pipes. The cooler is not only different in size as compared to its V8 and the V10 brothers.

While the other coolers featured chromium heatpipes, the V12 monster uses the good-old copper alloy, with chromium fins. Surely' it is less eye-catching than its brothers, but, at the same time, it surely is more efficient when it comes to heat transfer.
