Has anyone seen this CPU Cooler?  With the stock fans it's probably 2nd to the NH-D14 but of course it's loud as crap.  I am thinking tossing 2 cougar Hydaulic-Bearing 14's on it and go to town.  Should drop my temps by 10*C from my evo 212.  Looks sick too!!!

Specs: Core I7-2600K @ 4.5GHz @ 1.35V, 4x4GB Corsair Vengeance Black 1600MHz CL9, Cooler Master Evo 212, MSI Z77 Mpower Motherboard, Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X @ 1000/1400, Cooler Master HAF 932 Blue Edition w/ 3 Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 120MM fans (2 up top 1 in the bottom) replaced side panel with a window, and rear fan with a Cougar Hydraulic Bearing 140MM, Cooler Master GX 650 80+ Bronze PSU, Samsung DVD-RW, Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD, Seagate 750GB SATA III 7200RPM

The V8 looks terrible to me. Rather stick with a traditional heatsink that has a clean look instead of the aggressive look.

I saw that, my peak on my I7-2600K @ 4.5GHz is about 75*C on Prime 95 with an evo 212.

Should see the NH-D14 ugliest CPU cooler ever.

This is all opinion but the NH-D14 is a pretty clean looking heatsink. The only thing that I don't like about it is the fact that it's a massive heatsink. I would pick the NH-D14 over the V8.

Fan colors FTL unless you have a military style case.

Well that's if you're judging from the color of the fan. I was looking at the heatsink themselves. As for the color of Noctua I've actually gotten over it and have grown to like it. I would rather get a NH-U12s from Noctua or a Dark Knight from Xigmatek. It would take a lot of begging to get me to even consider the V8 and even then its a slim chance that I would get it.
