I have seen the review and other then the installation (needs motherboard outside of case), I like the industrial look and will go well with my color scheme.
I have seen these going for well over £100

So I wondered if you guys had any other idea`s, decided not to go with the water cooling side.

Damn seeing that, all I can think of is them things out of the film Battleship!!

Well... the OC3D review is here:

You wanted other ideas... Why not a cheaper Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo? My one does a damn good job of keeping my FX-8350 and Phenom II 955 cool.

Not too entertaining to look at that, but attach a red LED fan to it if a red color scheme is what you're looking for.

I am running a Raijintek Aidos Direct Contact CPU cooler but with 2 Corsair sp120 in push pull but the problem is that I could only fit it with the fans pointing towards the roof of the case and not the rear just does not flow

Thanks for the input but I want the look as well as the performance.

Have you thought about AIO solution instead?

It kinda looks like a turbine and sounds like one.

I have a Corsair H105 sitting in the box as I some how managed to pull out 1 of the connection connected to the pump. I did manged to get it to go back in but it needs to be bleed of air and without a res impossible. I also made a complete cock up of the threads on the rad ( a complete noob ) due to me moving it between cases.
I was not impressed with the quality of the rad, so if going for an AIO would need to be another make say Coolermaster Nepton 280L.

Somewhere on the CPU block will be a fill port / bleeding screw, just flip it on its side till that facing up and raise it so it the highest point, then shake rad vigerously while the cpu block is held above it, after that done shake the cpu block a bit, that should get most if not nearly all the air out.

 

[Madmullen]

I shall dig it out and have a look

--------------

I have had a good look at the block there is no bleed hole.

Wouldn't recommend the v8gts. You should be able to find a nice noctua dh15 at the same price. It simply does the job better

 

[Madmullen]

I just don't like the colour of the fans I hate beige and brown

 

[Doomslayer]

I just don't like the colour of the fans I hate beige and brown

Noctua does make black fans now

 

[iBeInspire]

Buy the D15, replace with red LED fans. Profit.

You could also be looking at BE QUIET! (shhhhhh) Dark Rock 3 Pro cooler. VERY cheap and it has a good reputation

 

[leedreamer189]

The V8gts looks awesome and dual fans!

 

[Madmullen]

Hi guys after a long and hard look at my option I decided to go with a Cooler Master 280L cpu cooler. After watching Tom`s review on the GTS V8 i decided to go with a liquid cooler.

Many thanks guys for the input

I don't go with NH-D15 the fans with flow acceleration channels are getting dusty and they don't work right you must clean them more frequently go with NH-D14 or put NF-P12 and NF-P14 redux the cuts in their wings are much better plug them directly to the psu to start with the lowest possible temperatures PMW is not that good anyway.
