Cooler Master V4 GTS Review: CPU Cooler with a Horizontal Vapor Chamber

The emergence of high-efficient processors incited the necessity to provide high-efficient cooling. It’s not a secret that utmost system performance directly depends upon CPU conditions. The more intense the loading is, the more appropriate thermal environment should be. Here everything is interrelated. Cooler Master, being one of the foremost global manufacturers of cooling solutions, always tries to comply with the rising demands to CPU thermal conditions. Thus, the launch of another cooler intended for extreme heat dissipation was quite an expected event. Codenamed V4 GTS, the product differentiates itself by the availability of a horizontal vapor chamber that enhances the cooling effect.

Design and Integration

Cooler Master V4 GTS features an unusual design, resembling a truck’s engine. Its surface is totally covered by a plastic shield, except for bare heatsink ribs at both sides. The overall framework has got symmetric elaboration with a well-considered ergonomics: thin heatsink and properly fitted fans make up a rather compact construction with 147x105 mm dimensions (height/width).

The implemented heatsink counts forty-three ribs with inconsiderable backlash. Ribs located in the central part close to the bushing are a bit slanted down and crosswise. This was done with the purpose to enhance the airflow. Four heat pipes, standing in succession and pushing aside, accompany the heatsink. The tips of heatsink ribs house multiple ledges that are destined to optimize the cooler’s aerodynamic properties. A voluminous bracket is tightly fixed to the base; the heatpipes only partially go in contact with the soles.

The integration of a horizontal vapor chamber is considered to be a major distinctive feature of V4 GTS. It represents an intercalation between the heatpipes and CPU lid. In the abstract, this vapor chamber is warming up evenly and then distributing heat from CPU chip to all heatpipes, due to the vaporizing effect.

Cooler Master V4 GTS is delivered in a black-and-violet cardbox. The nominal delivery kit consists of four metallic stands and four screws for AMD and Intel sockets, a backplate for Intel Socket LGA 775/1366/1155, a set of stands for Intel LGA socket, a mounting frame with screws for AMD sockets, fixing claps with screws, 4-contact adapter for two fans, a thermal compound, and a user’s manual.

Fans

The cooler is delivered with two identical in design fans (based on an improved bushing) which are mounted to the heatsink by means of standard screws driven into figured plastic frames with vibration-isolating plates. The frames are furnished with four red LED lights that create soft illuminating on operation. Both fans employ 4-contact power supply connectors and support PWM technology that allows for rotational speed adjusting within 600-1800 RPM range. Some other fan specifications are listed below:
— fan model: A12025-18CB-4HP-F1;
— produced airflow: 41-119 CFM;
— nominal voltage: 12V;
— noise level: 15-31 dB;
— maximal power consumption: 3.84 W;
— mean time between failures: 40.000 hours.

Installation

Cooler Master has taken care about trouble-free V4 GTS installation. The model supports all actual processor sockets. In this case, mounting process will be examined on the basis of Intel LGA 1155 platform. The installation starts from screwing the bolts at the backplate into the necessary position; all four sliders should be adjusted to the central position. The backplate is then screwed to the rear side of the motherboard. Fixing claps must be attached to the stands and then fixed by dedicated screws.

The next step is to apply thermal compound and integrate the cooler. Fixing is accomplished with the help of two mounting screws which should be evenly tightened. Further on, it’s high time to attach the fans and connect them to the power supply by means of a special adapter. On such conditions, all RAM slots, as well as the first PCI-E slot, remain easily accessible.
