The Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler is a very unique cooler in a few different aspects. The first being the actual design of the cooler with the second being the integrated TEC installed on the back of the cooler. When I first took a look at the V10, I was impressed with its size and the actual feel of the cooler, it is large enough to cover the processor as well as have enough room to cover the memory modules you have installed on your board, or it could cover your North Bridge depending on which way you wanted to position it. The TEC that was installed on the cooler makes for a great addition to the large amount of surface area that the V10 was able to provide, which by itself would be able to dissipate the heat enough to cool the processor into the ranges desired; however, the TEC would be able to provide that extra little boost to help cool it even more. The size of the cooler was not only a good thing, but with some setups, the heatsinks on your memory modules could be too tall for use the V10.
