  • Direct touch heat pipe, Great price, Cool design
  • Only single fan operation
  • The Vendetta 2 is certainly a pretty good cooler. While it may not be as good as, say a TRUE 120, its still much cheaper, on top of having a fan included. This cooler is more geared towards the weekend overclocker rather than the more heavy overclock...

  • It has become the norm for PC Freaks & Geeks to praise the performance of OCZ products. Not because we love their ingenious design ideas and flair for quality perfection but because they just work - and usually do it exceptionally well. Every time we f...

  • Abstract:  With the market for third-party CPU coolers seemingly growing by the week, its a tough market to make a splash in, and this line of thought is certainly one that can be applied to the OCZ Vendetta. Looking at it in isolation, its not a bad cooler a...

  • Abstract:  OCZ did a good job with the Vendetta. It used the proven heat pipe tower design, and is compatible with all modern CPU sockets. It exhibited no clearance issues in our rather tight test platform motherboard, and it is light in weight. Performance was g...

  • Abstract:  OCZ Technologies is no stranger to us here at HL. Over the past few years, weve covered OCZs excellent system memory, flash media, and power supplies.....and as we saw at CES, OCZ is definitely not a company to rests on its laurels......releasing a p...

  • Cools well, Easy installation, Easy / innovative fan installation, Silent on low speed, Small size, Can be run without a fan, Inexpensive
  • Fan loud on full speed, Only one set of fan mounts included
  • The OCZ Vendetta proves that a CPU cooler does not have to be a huge, hulking heavy beast to keep your CPU cool, its nice to see that such a small cooler can do the job of those much bigger than itself. The installation of both the cooler itself and ...

  • Super-efficient heatpipes, Heatpipe Direct Touch design, Quiet 92mm PWM cooling fan, Hassle-free installation, Aluminum plate pebbles increase air contact, 8mm copper heatpipe rods, Finsink "V" increases surface area, Excellent packaging material
  • Silicon TIM material supplied oxidizes copper, No spare rubber Tclip supplied
  • OCZ has always known how to deliver flash and flair while remaining focused at presenting the consumer with plenty of useful information in their product packaging. The Vendetta is no different, and the extremely over-protective application of closed-...

  • The OCZ Vendetta is a small and unique cooler that really gets some great performance. It's well built and easy to install which is a great thing to have in a cooler. Performance is almost on par with the best air cooler we've had at Overclock3D, the Noc...

  • Abstract:  Instead of soldering on a bulky copper base plate, the Vendetta heatsink takes advantage of the superior heat conducting capabilities of heat pipes to efficiently move heat from the processor

  • For the size, the OCZ Vendetta is exceptionally capable, providing you run the fan at full speed. If you're anything like us, that'll just drive you nuts, however it seems that some in our community have a greater tolerance to these things so it could ...
