OCZ calls their combination heat sink and fan CPU cooler the "Vendetta 2" and it attacks thermal build up with a vengeance. Vendetta 2's trio of 8mm copper heat pipes are configured to be in direct contact with the CPU for efficiently movement of heat away from the processor to the cooling fins.
And, while thermal transference is good, it takes a fan to get things properly moving along. The Vendetta 2 is rigged for silent running. The 120mm rifle bearing fan is attached to the vertical array of aluminum convection fins using vibration-damping rubber posts. It moves an impressive 81 CFM at its maximum 1500 RPM but only generates 32 dBA – as quiet as 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.

Great for AM3
- Pros: Easy installation, AMAZING price, impressive temps, I can't hear it
- Cons: -Huge. This isn't really a con, but If you have a mid tower make sure it will fit before you buy it.
-The adhesive on the tape protecting the base of the HS during shipping stuck on when I tore the tape off, leaving behind all sorts of residue. 3 Minutes of Goo Gone etc it was off and ready to mount, but some people might not have noticed.
-They should have shipped it with better thermal paste.
- Other Thoughts: My Phenom II x4 955 with stock HSF would reach 65C on Prime 95 after about 5 minutes @ 3.2 GHz. With this Vendetta 2 and some Arctic Silver 5, I have it sitting at 3.8 GHz and even after an hour of Prime 95 torture testing it doesnt break 53C. Its nice to not worry about cooling whatsoever, thanks OCZ.
Works fine
- Pros: Reasonable cost, quiet fan, works as advertised. Lowered temp about 6 degrees C from the AMD 9850BE cooler and the PC is in a warm room. Installs easy enough.
- Cons: Apparently nobody from OCZ's QA dept has tried to install a retail packaged version. The protective plastic covering on the polished face left a glue residue that took a good 5 minutes to scrub off using Goo Gone. Not a big deal but annoying.
- Other Thoughts: Fit's, barely in an older mid-tower case. Had to choose between blowing the warm CPU air up into the PSU or pulling warm PSU air down through the heatsink and onto the video card. I chose down but reversed the porthole fan to blow some room air into the case, onto this unit.
Great cooler but pricey
- Pros: Cools very well and does so relatively quietly. Also cools the new i7's well if you get a LGA1366 bolt through kit.
- Cons: Pushpins are ok for stock coolers but not for tower coolers. These coolers are big and heavy and one or two of the plastic pushpins sometimes pop out which leads to uneven pressure and higher temps.
- Other Thoughts: If your going to get get this cooler get a bolt through kit. OCZ sells them for this cooler or you can use Xigmateks Crossbow kit. Their are other coolers that cool just as well that come with a bolt through kit for less or the same price.
