Cooler Master V6GT

@ 2010/07/01
One of Cooler Master's more exciting items at CES was the V6 GT air cooler. With muscle car written all over it, it's clear they're going for both performance and aesthetic on this one. Combining muscle car looks with the excellent performance we expect of it couldn't have been easy, and we're going to see how much it can handle.

When we first got a glimpse of the V series CPU coolers from Cooler Master we were very impressed. We first got a chance to check out the V8 cooler, then came the V10 cooler and today we have the brand new V6 GT cooler. Once again like the other coolers in the V series it has the engine inspired look and a very unique design. Cooler Master says the V6 GT is the most efficient cooler in the V series thanks to the double-V heatpipes, inclined heatsink array, universal steel pressure mounting and twin DynaLoop dynamic bearing fans. Let’s take a look at the V6 GT and see if it is a real performe r.

In between the point A to point B, utilitarian vehicles, there are a few that offer both sound economics, but can surprise your buddies at a stop light, or more responsibly, on the track on the weekends. These cars are not only cheaper to get a hold of, but in some cases are actually designed and engineered to keep up with their more expensive competition. So again, what do fast, high performance cars have to do with CPU coolers?

It’s all in the naming. Cooler Master has given us the opportunity to look at their newest addition to the “V” series. The V10 with its onboard TEC still tops the charts today, but came at quite a cost. Then there was the slightly smaller V8. Now we get to look at the V6 GT. Just in the naming, I would assume it to be a tweaked, smaller version of the V8, but with the ability to keep in contention for the prize when we cross the finish line.

Heatsinks are a normal part of any modern computer and are designed to keep your components cool enough to run. Given these devices are utilitarian in nature there is rarely consider what they should look like. Some are massive towers of heatpipe and radiator while others might be a simple chunk of metal with fins extruded from the surface. The key point to take away from this is that heatsinks rarely look, good.

The newest product from this company is a very unique CPU cooler that utilizes 6 twin "V" heatpipes, and dual 120mm PWM fans. However, it is not the fans, or heatpipes that make it unique, but rather the method that was used to enhance the look of the cooler.

To say the least, the Cooler Master V6GT is a fantastic heatsink. It outperformed all of the other comparison heatsinks in every test but one, and pulled even further ahead in the load tests. The large size of the V6GT is made up for by its heat capacity and these tests show it.

Other the last few years Cooler Master has reinvented heatsink design and helped many car guys get their fix with their V8 and V10 coolers. Both have amazing performance and good looks. However, both are also a little pricy. Today Cooler Master is officially announcing their newest addition to their lineup, the V6GT. The idea behind the V6GT is go get good performance while keeping the cost a little lower than their V8 and v10. Let’s take a closer looking.
