Conclusion
Overall the Cooler Master V10 is a very nice cooler. It supplies a decent amount of cooling not only for the CPU, but for other surrounding components. Will most everyday users see the benefits of the V10? Probably not. With a price tag of $140 it certainly isn’t a cheap air cooler, but hardcore overclockers could see the benefits of the V10 with its cooling methods which include TEC.
If you’ve got the money and room in your case I’d definitely recommend the V10 to you. It’s a powerful cooler with a sleek design. The added benefits of red LED gives you that extra feeling of power for your case. Overall Think Computers would like to award the Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler a 9 out of 10 score!
Pros:
– 200+W of cooling solutions
– Unique design
– Hybrid TEC
– Multi-socket support
Cons:
– Does not work well with smaller cases and upper mounted motherboards
– Large and heavy
– Expensive

That's a beast of a heatsink however IMO its not really worth the $.

Very large, could be possible issue if shipping your computer

You could somehow tie the cooler to the chassis somehow.
to me seems risky, prolly take it off and ship separately

I don't remember if you mentioned this in the review or not, but people who buy this should note that, if you have large heatsinks on your memory, it may interfere with the cooler being able to be applied

Users will be fine as long as the memory's heatspreader aren't as tall as the Corsair Dominator or Patriot Viper lineup.

I was a beta tester for this product and honestly expected better performance.

The V10 would have been better if the TEC kicked in when lighter load is applied.

I think that since TEC can go subzero temps, at lighter loads, it may cause atmostpheric vapours to condense and potentially harm your equipments
When I say a lighter load I don't mean idle.
