As we have stated before there are four things that we look for in a CPU cooler and they are: Does it install easily?Is it reasonably light?Does it perform as well as existing coolers?Is it quiet? OCZ have no problems with the first two items on the l...
The Vendetta is a surprisingly understated cooler, in contrast to its name. Its a simple, effective peripheral thats a doddle to fit. It is one of those blessed coolers that comes without an enclosed backplate for your mobo. Unfortunately, the Intel ...
The Vendetta is a slightly more effective CPU cooler than the Freezer 7 Pro at top speed, but is much noisier. Because of this extra noise, and the higher cost of the Vendetta, the Freezer 7 Pro is still our favourite cheap LGA775 HSF, while the massiv...
Solid performance, Quiet normal operation, Easy installation, Unique design
Loud during system start up, Out performed by similarly priced cooler
Despite this new design, OCZ weren’t the first to implement it, Xigmatek have done it before OCZ, and Zaward before even Xigmatek. OCZ does not try to hide the fact that their vendetta is based on Xigmatek’s design, and even credits them in th...
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...

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 ...
