Digital camera reviews of OCZ OCZTVEND2 Vendetta 2 CPU Cooler
Digital camera Review: Its Big
Summary: 5 Stars
This cooler is big, I was not expecting how big it will be unless i received it. I cannot close my casing anymore, but its performance is best for which it still gets 5/5 from my side. I was thinking of Purchasing a liquid cooler for my Processor (which i recently upgraded to Intel Q9550) but when i checked the reviews about OCZ Vendetta 2 I dropped my plans for liquid system. Its wonderful, no noise, keeps my processor cool even under heavy loads. Installation is also easy.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.
Digital camera Review: MOTHER of ALL CPU COOLER :)
Summary: 3 Stars
love it!!
1) over clocked my PC by whole 1ghz, and still temperature dropped by 15 Celsius degrees!
2) some screws for installation are made from Rubber, and feel like you gonna break em
3) the stock cooling gel provided is sub standard, i recommend getting a Arctic freeze type cooling gel!
4) be careful removing the plastic cover, its adhesive glue gets stuck on the Heat Sink and then you have to spend hours removing it as all surface contact with processor has to be free of any foreign particles...
Digital camera Review: Muy bueno
Summary: 4 Stars
La verdad es que cumple con su cometido, mantener el procesador lo menos caliente posible.
Lo unico que no me gusta de este discipador el sistema de anclaje. No es efectivo, ni seguro. Pienso que debieron de dedicarle mas tiempo a su diseño.
Digital camera Review: OCZ VENDETTA 2
Summary: 4 Stars
I installed with Arctic 5 Silver paste and I have noticed a significant (9 degree celcius) drop in temps on my processor. Worth every penny and I caught a great sale for under $40.
Highly recommend - but a bit of a bear getting it in.
