Abstract: A lot of people think it’s a little odd that I happen to be Hi Tech Legion’s “cooling guy”. I mean, really, cooling isn’t something people typically get overly excited about, but you need to understand some things. After my parents pitched me over the ...
Overal we were pleased with the OCZ Vendetta 2 Heatsinks performance. Across the stock and overclocked speeds, the cooler performed much better than the stock cooler and on par with the Thermaltake. We did find the Thermaltake quieter overall at the ...
Abstract: We tested the original OCZ Vendetta last year, it was a compact tower heatsink with 92mm fan, its most striking feature being the direct contact of the 3 heat pipes with the CPU.Today we test the Vendetta 2 from OCZ, it also features the same direct-he...
Abstract: With direct heat pipe technology being all the rage now a days more and more manufacturers are designing new coolers with this technology at their base. OCZ’s second attempt at such a cooler incorporates other features to allow for excellent cooling e...
Abstract: We must first point out that OCZ did it again. Since we are already used to the fact they provide top level enthusiast hardware, the performance of the big Vendetta was by no means surprising. The innovative heatpipe direct touch design is respon...
Push pins can be difficult to access given size of cooler, Difficulty installing rubber mounts into fan holes
The original Vendetta cooler performs well and is still a great option for those with limited space, but the cooling performance and low noise operation of the Vendetta 2 are really impressive. By taking the original design and scaling it up to accept...
Abstract: The Vendetta 2 heatsink is decked out for stealth in a couple different ways; for starters the fan is held in place with vibration absorbing rubber fan posts. It also features three large copper heatpipes that make direct contact with the CPU.
Great cooling, Easy installation, Silent, Lightweight, Did I mention it cools well?
Pushpins arent the best, Lazy cable sleeving on the fan
The OCZ Vendetta 2 is a great cooler. While other, more experienced and well-known companies have been piling on weight, heat pipes, fans, and back plates, OCZ chose to construct a light, functional cooler that does not even require motherboard removal...
Top-ranked Best CPU Cooler Performance - Q1 2008, Three large 8-gauge copper heat-pipe rods, Finsink dimples reduce skin effect of laminar air flow, Powerful yet quiet 0.13A 120mm fan, Very easy to install - no motherboard removal necessary, Lightweigh...
Does not include OCZ Freeze Thermal Interface material, Silicon TIM material supplied oxidizes copper, No spare soft rubber Tclip supplied, Unpolished mounting base
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 2 is no different, and the extremely over-protective application of close...
All four coolers here were simple to install, The newest cooler of the bunch, Vendetta 2, is a clear victor, Vindicator and Vendetta offer reasonable performance for quiet operation, Vanquisher also proved effective, but is much louder than the others,
Vindicators performance was underwhelming, given its sheer size, OCZ Vendetta 2
The biggest thing to take away from the roundup is that all four of the coolers managed to keep our hot QX6850 processor well under the 100°C thermal threshold, even at our 3.67GHz overclocked setting. Overall, I was impressed by both of the Vendetta ...
