[drupal=522]Review: Cooler Master V6 GT CPU Cooler[/drupal]

By Charles Gantt ( Oneslowz28 )

Cooler Master is world renowned for their CPU coolers, and for years their high performance coolers have been a staple in the enthusiast community. In the last few months we have seen the release of some very fast and very hot CPUs. Most namely Intel

Nice review. The reviews here seem to be getting more in depth and informative since I started lurking here about a year ago. Keep it up!

One thing I just thought of: do you guys keep the data you collect filed away somewhere? I was thinking you could keep testing these coolers on the same chip all year around and keep a graph of all the coolers you've tested in that year next to each other. So you'd basically keep amending the same graph with each new test. I'll bet a lot of people and even competing companies would like to see how they compare with each other. And light, medium, and heavy OCs in addition to stock speeds are a good idea!

We are trying to keep the same chip, and oc settings for comparison.

Thanks for the compliments!

Yes from this review forward I will be keeping a running graph of all CPU coolers I review. I seriously hope the other Journalist here do the same. This is information that we as a community need.

I've been doing the same. I have a nice hot chip and an excellent case for testing purposes. I even went back and redid some of the tests when I got this case, making the conditions as uniform as possible.

This data will vary from one journalist to the next, because of different hardware, but that's a good thing really; it shows a broader range of applications for each cooler setup.

(And yes, CJ, this one was very well done.)

Thanks BoB!

I have the same cooler, and think its very noisy :/ tested it versus a titan fenrir evo, which have only 1 fan, and wasnt near as noisy, and almost performed just as good.
