OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
OCZ calls their combination heat sink and fan CPU cooler the "Vendetta" and it takes no prisoners in the battle against thermal build-up. Vendetta's trio of U-shaped, 8mm copper heat pipes are configured to be in direct contact with the CPU to efficiently move heat away from the processor and towards the cooling fins.

And, while thermal transference is good, it takes a fan to get things properly moving along. The Vendetta is rigged for silent running. The 92mm rifle bearing fan is attached to the vertical array of aluminum convection fins using vibration-damping rubber posts. It moves a healthy 54.6 CFM at its maximum 2800 RPM but only generates 34 dBA – comparable to that of a library.

PWM functionality lets the computer's BIOS reduce speed and noise even further depending on thermal need. The fins are configured to allow lower velocity air to pass through with less resistance and, they have been dimpled to break up laminar airflow and add turbulence which creates more efficient circulation.

Excellent - with Scythe fan

white Reviewed By: wolraad on 2/24/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: I have it on an OC'd E8400 at 3.8Ghz on a Gigabyte GA-x38-Dq6 in Antec P182 case.
Idles at 22, and 42 at load with Prime95 high power/heat torture.
Easy installation.
Fan mounts.
Very quiet - fan runs at about 2200 rpm at load (see conns below)
Cons: None.
Most (if not all) reviews complain about the high noise with the stock fan. I ordered a Scythe Kama 92mm fan at the same time as the Vendetta. I therefore cannot comment on the noise with the stock fan. With the Scythe, you cannot hear it!
Other Thoughts: Excellent cooler (with Scythe Kama fan). Nice compact size. Easy installation. Highly recommended!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Purchased this after carefully researching a cooler upgrade for AM2+ system. The key points of this one: light weight (~400g) can be installed with confidence using the factory mount on the AMD board (no board removal required), and excellent cooling (with ~140W AMD cpu this cooler lowered load temps by ~9c beyond the factory heatpipe cooler). It is also very quiet with the included fan (PWM).
Cons: The AMD retention clip is very fragile and cheap. I would have given this 5 stars had Xigmatek engineered a more robust clip.
Other Thoughts: This unit cools as well or better than much larger and heavier coolers. A+ engineering

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: These coolers work great with both the AMD Athlon X2 or Phenom 2. I have run a 5000 BE @ 3.2 for over a year on the first one, and no probs... Had to order a second one on my last build with a 955 BE cpu and it works just as well for my new quad.
Cons: Wish the fan had LED's...
