OCZ is well known for their memory and power supplies, but we thought we'd see just how well their current fleet of CPU coolers held up. We pit the Vendetta, Vendetta 2, Vanquisher and even the old-school Vindicator against our QX6850 to see what each one is made of.
Heatpipes have sure come a very long way in a very short time. That is what we are seeing in today's heatsink world, and for good reason. It's a wonderful and highly versatile cooling device. How it functions is simple in theory also. A very small amount of proprietary liquid trapped inside a copper pipe transfers all the heat from the base to the top where the fan can do its job in conjunction with either copper or aluminum fins to keep your processor from melting.
