You know, OCZ has really come a long way in the past few years, from that unknown company that produced some really good low-latency memory, to a company that, besides having some of the best memory on the market, builds power supplies, mice, CPU Coolers and even has an 8800GTX video card. They recently acquired PC Power and Cooling, who is well known for the best PC power supplies on the market.

Today I will be looking at the OCZ Vendetta, their latest CPU cooler. It is one of the few coolers on the market that has a heatsink base configured so that the heatpipes directly touch the CPU surface. Will it live up to the high standard of OCZ's other products? We'll see.




The Vendetta is packaged in this nice looking hanging box. Pretty much all the information you'd want is on the outside of the package. Inside, the cooler is very well protected in layered foam. I suppose that it would withstand a drop from ceiling height without damaging the products contained within.
