Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Performance!!!, December 12, 2008

I had an amd x2 4200, then i changed it for a amd x2 5000 black edition, but i kept the amd's fan cooler from the 4200, i needed to look for another fan cooler because the stock cooler was ok, but i wanted to improve my temperatures, well... what a great investment i have done!!!! AMAZING is the word to describe this Fan Cooler, it went from 30º idle to 20ºidle, and from 46º full load to 34º full load, all this with the processor overclocked to 3.1GHz..!!!

I recommend this fan for both amd and intel processors, it's a great product, and surely a great investment compared against water solutions

5.0 out of 5 stars OCZ Vendetta 2 cools 6400+ dual 3.2Mhz to high 30C's, July 25, 2009

This review is from: OCZ OCZTVEND2 Vendetta 2 CPU Cooler (Personal Computers)

I had the stock amd cooler that came with my 6400+ cpu and when rendering it would get up to 65C - this is both cores at 100 percent for 45 min to an hour.
Idle temps with stock cooler were low 50's high 40's constatnly.

In comes OCZ Vendetta 2 I had read about 10 reviews from over clocking websites and saw this cooler place in the top 5 if not second in almost every test, so I bought it.

temps idle at 38-40C and only go up to low 50C when rendering - all temps taken with speedfan and coretemp which are within 1C of each other on my computer. Its big! It works! If you have a small mid size case get some measurements this barely fit in my workstation tower. and if you want to mount the fan under the cooling fins the fan falls off the anti-vibration feet - just throw a small rubber band around the whole assembly - works perfectly.

This review is from: OCZ OCZTVEND2 Vendetta 2 CPU Cooler (Personal Computers)

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.
