____________________

Long gone are the days when OCZ were merely a memory manufacturer, today they produce some decent power supplies (after their acquisition of Pc power) and have a range of cooling products available including CPU coolers and thermal compounds. Today we are taking a look at two of the most recent additions to the OCZ cooling family, the Vendetta CPU cooler and Freeze thermal compound. We will be comparing both against the excellent Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and MX-2 paste.

nice review, was more of the paste needed on the OCZ cooler to help with the gaps in the base plate? There wasn't any uneasiness seating the cooler because of the base plate design? I just know if i had that cooler and never used it before I'd be wanting to pop it off and have a look after the first go round to make sure all was well.

Just the normal amount of paste was required and really the only thing that happened was that any excess pooled in the spaces instead of being pushed out to the edge.
