CM V10 and AM4?
CM V10 and AM4?
Hey everyone, new here but familiar with Toms for over 15 years. I really like how civil these forums are compared to others, lol. I’m planning to set up a whole new Ryzen build, and since I’m an old-school guy, I’ll be pushing it. I might get a V10 from abroad and want to customize it, but my main worry is whether the AM4 socket supports the V10. I see CM has a list of coolers you can upgrade—anyone know if there’s an adapter for the V10? I’m willing to call but want to check if others have managed this on Ryzen.
It's not really, Antec probably isn't the manufacturer of this part, it's likely produced by Asetek, which is the original equipment manufacturer for many similar items.
AIO coolers are generally leak-proof and don't need upkeep.
The EVGA ACX with a delta design doesn't make sense—did you actually swap the GPU fans for delta fans? The deltas have a specific speed range, so they probably won't reach 6krpms, but they would still be noisier.
As I mentioned earlier, it looks like you're adding unnecessary complexity, but if you're satisfied, that's fine.

Hey everyone, just starting here but familiar with you for more than 15 years. I really like the more polite atmosphere on these forums compared to others, lol. Anyway, I’m planning to set up a whole new Ryzen system. As an old-school person, I’d like to get a V10 from abroad and would like to do some modifications. My main worry is whether it’s compatible with AM4. I see that CM has a list of coolers you can upgrade, anyone know if there’s an adapter for the V10? I can call them, but I wanted to check if anyone else has managed to get one on a Ryzen.
It’s not listed in their support, but if you use certain boards like the ASUS Crosshair hero VI socket AM4 motherboard, it comes with AM3 mounting holes, so it might work. The only other thing to consider is the size of the cooler—it could affect RAM clearance.
The V10 had some issues with clearances on RAM and the TEC not cooling well. Adding a delta might change things. I’m not too concerned about RAM clearance since AMD branded modules are low-profile. As for Asus, they seem to restrict things like Asrock with VRM even when APM is off, so I usually go with MSI or Biostar now.

Yes the V10 was discontinued because complaints were unclear about RAM and the TEC wasn't cooled properly. But adding a delta or two should be a different story. Not concerned about RAM clearance since AMD branded modules are low profile.
As for Asus, they don’t do nannythrottling like Asrock with VRM even when APM is off. I usually stick with MSI or Biostar now.
Unless you use the Croshair VI, you’re not running that cooler, but your idea of adding "deltas" is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. You know they’re the loudest thing you could buy? Secondly, there are no AMD Branded DDR4 modules.
Why do you make this so complicated? There are many better quiet coolers you could use without the V10 issues.

Yes the V10 was phased out because there were issues with RAM clearance and the TEC wasn't cooling well enough. But adding a couple of deltas might change things. I'm not too concerned about RAM clearance since AMD branded modules are low-profile.
As for Asus, they don’t seem to be as restrictive as Asrock with VRM even when APM is off. I usually go with MSI or Biostar now. Unless you're using Croshair VI, you probably aren't running that cooler. Your idea of adding deltas sounds like a bad plan—those are the loudest coolers you can buy. Also, there are no AMD branded DDR4 modules available.
Why do you complicate things so much? There are much better quiet coolers you could use without the V10 problems. It's not a huge jet delta; it's just a regular 120mm with 6000 RPM. It can be loud, but the new PWM only spins when fully loaded for over 10 minutes during OC. Gaming barely audible, and it’s quiet enough to set in BIOS for PWM control.

I might not agree completely on this. Maybe simpler, less fussy options like Noctua are better. With the TEC on and good airflow, a custom water block system could work well—costly but effective. Just check older reviews. The stock V10 fans aren’t powerful enough even at full speed; a delta would help, not necessarily run at 24/7.

The V10 was phased out because there were issues with RAM clearance and the TEC wasn’t cooling adequately. But adding a few deltas might change that. I’m not concerned about RAM clearance since AMD-branded modules are low-profile.

Unless you’re using Croshair VI, you probably aren’t running that cooler. Still, your idea of adding deltas sounds like a bad one. You know they’re the loudest you can buy. Also, there are no AMD-branded DDR4 modules available.

It’s not a huge jet delta—it’s just a regular 120mm with 6000 RPM. It can be loud, but the new PWM only spins when fully loaded for over 10 minutes during OC. Gaming barely audible, and it’s almost silent otherwise. Just set it in BIOS for PWM control.

I might not agree completely, though. There are simpler, less fuss solutions like Noctua, which are quieter, work well, and cost around $100.
It’s your system, but spending a lot on a CPU just to cool it with a noisy solution is expensive. A Noctua would work just as well and be much quieter for about $60.

As for Asus dunno, they do nannythrottling like Asrock with VRM despite APM off, I tend to stick with MSI or Biostar now
Unless you use the Croshair VI you are not running that cooler, however your plan of adding "deltas" is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. You do realize they are the loudest thing you could possibly buy? Secondly there are no AMD Branded DDR4 modules.
Why are you making this so complicated, theres a ton of way better quiet coolers you could be using, without any of the problems of the V10
Its not a fat jet delta, It is regular 120mm but 6000 RPM and yes can be loud but its new PWM which only spins up with full load more then 10 min continuos durin gOCCT. Gaming I can barely hear it and idle its pretty hush hush, just set it in bios for PWM control

Ill have to disagree to an extent on whats better? May be more simple less hassle solutions noctua for example, but with the TEC turned on and proper airflow only custom water block systems that cost hundreds cool better, just look at older reviews. The problem with stock v10 are indeed the fans even at full speed not adequate, a Delta would be and no it doesnt have to run full speed 24/7
There are 240mm AIO coolers available like the Cryorig A40 that cool better, are quieter, and is just over $100.
I mean hey its your system, but IMO its a lot of money to spend on a CPU etc to cool it with a loud (even if only at some points) frankenstein mess.
A Noctua will cool just as well if not better and be whisper quiet for 60 bucks.
Last AIO I used as Antec 920, first revision was decent but after I had to RMA due to dead pump, every single one I got and probably 5 had concave mating surface and acording to Antec thats "good" for a CPU..... I think there were a few core 2 dies that needed that... newer and vishera need flat... yeah it was so great I reach 90 c at idle. NO CONTACT

I operate a Cryorig A80, which is common among the Mod team. The A40 is marginally smaller yet identical in other aspects. No issues have been logged.
