Using a distinctive, highly efficient heat pipe and fin design developed by Xigmatek, combined with a low-noise fan, the Vendetta is built to tackle heat-induced performance degradation and solves the cooling challenges of today’s enthusiast system builds. While traditional heat pipe CPU coolers typically use a solid base plate design, the Vendetta’s three copper heat pipes make direct contact with the processor allowing for maximum heat transfer at a more rapid pace. A novel dimple design in the micro-configuration of the stacked aluminum fans adds turbulences, thereby reducing the skin effect of laminar air flow. Moreover, a folded "V" shape of the macro-configuration of the fins adds surface area without compromising the compact design. As a result, the Vendetta offers incredibly efficient cooling area comparable to much larger coolers which is reflected in its performance. The ultra-quiet fan cools without disruption with its anti-vibration rubber connectors to reduce excess noise, resulting in quiet, yet extremely effective performance. Because the OCZ Vendetta has a compact design, even the most crowded cases can accommodate the cooler with ease.

Reviews & Ratings for Vendetta CPU Cooler This cpu cooler is quite the powerhouse. My old idle cpu temps on an athlon 64 x2 4800+ were around 28C, and at stock speeds have since dropped to 19C, I overclocked the cpu to 2.9Ghz from 2.5 and at idle it's still only at 21C. Old load temps were roughly 45C, new load temps, with overclock, are 32C at max. My results may vary due to the thermal paste I used (OCZ Freeze). Many places noted on it's silence, while this is true, at full speed, the fan sounds like a turbine about to blow. Wonderful cooler, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROOM in your case, I have a thermaltake M9 and it fits great. I should take a star off due to the fact that when installing it with the AMD retention clip, I felt as though my motherboard was going to break in half, and remove the motherboard when installing, impossible to otherwise. My idle temps are also gotten with the fan speed set at 67.5% fyi, at full my cpu froze to death :). Also helped my 8800GT cool off a bit ~3C. Definitely recommend this to anyone, just BE CAREFUL during installation.
