Digital camera reviews of OCZ OCZTVEND2 Vendetta 2 CPU Cooler
Digital camera Review: Love the cooler! The fan???? Umm, not so much......
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently upgraded from the original Vendetta which has a 92mm fan to this new Vendetta 2 and its 120mm fan. My current system which has a Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU is overclocked at 3.55GHz, the CPU stays at 39C idle and 65C heavy load in Orthos.
Now I expected nothing less from the Vendetta 2 but i am not completely sold on the 120mm OCZ fan.
The original Vendetta's 92mm fan did a good job of pushing hot air away from the cooler but the fan was annoyingly loud if the fan speed was set over 50%.
The OCZ Vendetta 2 fan does a better job of minimizing noise but this 120mm fan still had issues.
After using the fan control setting on my motherboard, sometimes on boot-up the fan would get stuck under 300RPM. After a few reboots and turning the fan control in the BIOS on/off it finally goes back to its normal RPM. Needless to say it's very annoying and i know i got a faulty fan. I tried my 120mm SilverStone case fans with the cooler and fan control and i had no problems with it.
I just bought the cooler and i haven't replaced the fan yet but i eventually will. Scythe, SilverStone & Noctua are all brands that are known for their build quality and almost noiseless fans.
For the price it's a top performer and also for the price there's sometimes a sacrifice in overall quality.
Summary of OCZ OCZTVEND2 Vendetta 2 CPU Cooler
The Vendetta 2 is an efficient new CPU cooler with a powerful 120mm fan design for maximum performance. Utilizing a distinctive stacked fin design and trend-setting heat pipe direct touch (HDT) design combined with a large low-noise fan, the Vendetta 2 is built to quietly solve the cooling challenges of today?s most powerful processors. Utilizing the proven performance of the latest HTD design, the Vendetta 2 has direct contact with the processor using three copper heat pipes to ensure the most rapid heat transfer and a lighter weight. The dimple micro-configuration of the stacked aluminum fins adds turbulence, reducing the skin effect of laminar air flow for more efficient circulation within your case. The versatile and user-friendly Vendetta 2 is compatible with AMD AM2/939/754/755 and Intel 775 sockets and can be installed quickly and easily by end-users at all skill levels. The Vendetta 2 offers an extra performance boost than the more compact original version. The ultra-quiet 120mm fan, with its anti-vibration rubber connectors to reduce excess noise, sets new standards for extremely efficient cooling performance at a price point that is still enticing to a variety of budgets.Cameras and Photo
