news 28 Posted April 21, 2008 Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend. With the market for third-party CPU coolers seemingly growing ever more crowded by the minute, so it becomes more difficult for any one part to differentiate itself in that market. Today we take a look at OCZ's Vendetta cooler, which aims to offer some decent temperature reductions at a relatively low price. Does it succeed in this venture? OCZ Vendetta CPU cooler review "Interestingly, rather than going down the usual route of having a copper base or similar that all of the heatpipes attach to, OCZ have chosen to have the three heatpipes used by the Vendetta make direct contact with the surface of the CPU itself. In theory this should actually improve the transfer of heat away from the processor somewhat, although the design used here does leave ridges rather than a completely smooth surface on the base of the cooler, which can make applying thermal compound tricky - In this case, it's easier to apply the compound to the cooler before installing it rather than spreading it on the CPU itself." http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=562&Itemid=27 As always, a news post on your site would be hugely appreciated, and we guarantee to reciprocate by posting any news items received from yourselves.
