What case do you have?
antec 300 illusion
user. fit a v8 into his so i think i can do the same
and thanks s.t.o.r.m.!
Don't get the v8. There are better CPU Coolers out there now.
If price is not a problem then get the Megahalem. Top cooling out there and costs like $60-$65. If you want to save money get the Mugen 2 which costs $38 and cools a little bit under the Megahalem but is huge.

^^ Cools much better also wayyyy cheaper.
I currently use a V8 on a Phenom II. If you notice in the pictures, it includes a 6-point metal mounting bracket. Most boards only have 4 holes so this is a mystery to me as to why they made this one 6-point. I had to take a bench grinder to the middle of it on each side to get it to mount without touching the board.
So far, I'm not impressed with the V8. I even replaced the fan in it with a higher quality one and I keep wishing I had gone with the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118020]Zalman[/url].

Sweet lord what is with you? 3rd post I've read today where you completely denounce Antec, your opinion is not fact. They're a perfectly good brand.
@OP:
How much are you willing to spend on a cooler?
probably around 60

Were you dropped?
The Antec 300 is the best case with cooling in that price range. For $15 more you get 2 more fans that would've cost $25. Quality cases what are you smoking?
A bucket of water :downs:

even if that is a C2D, same results on a i7. The trend should be the same on a Phenom II
One called 3Rsystem Iceage 120 Boss II came out and is on par but beats that one on AMD systems
Get the Scythe Mugen 2. It kicks the shit out of the V8. It's fucking huge though, make sure you have a full tower or a big mid tower case.
