CoolerMaster V10 pics???

[Motley]

Anyone using the Coolermaster V10 on their i7 system? Can you please post some pics!!!

And a small review, how do you like it and such...

Also, is the LED on it red? Can this be changed to blue LED?

Thanks

i7 & V10 in an Antec P182 case.

The notch I had to cut out of the top compartment / drive bay. The green dotted line is the section which was getting in my way, and the red line is the cut I made to allow this thing to fit.

V10 without its fans and casing. I lapped both the V10 and the processor.

I also replaced the TIM on the V10 TEC plate with OCZ Freeze, and replaced the Cooler Master fans with Scythe S-Flex G's. Yes, the original fans have red LEDs. I'm not a fan of lighting or special effects, and I like S-Flex fans quite a bit so I planned on replacing the fans anyway.

As for a small review or any general thoughts, I do enjoy the cooler. My case isn't exactly huge though, and like I said - I did have to make adjustments to get it to fit. This was my 2nd build, and my first with decent quality parts. I have a C0 chip that runs a little hot, so I'm still tempted to sell my V10 and give water cooling a try.

Man, that cooler looks huge. Compared to the V8 I had, I thought that was a monster at the time when I had it.
