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.
* Although the Vendetta has been qualified for these processors for performance and compatibility, it may not fit some motherboards

"I was most impressed by the Vendetta 2. I received this cooler a short time ago and as soon as I took it out of the box I was happy to see that it was larger than the original and that the base was also wider where it meets the CPU. The 120mm fan on the Vendetta 2 is much quieter and obviously more efficient. They have definitely moved in the right direction with the newer model and it works well. I would firmly recommend the Vendetta 2. It was a solid performer and its fan was quiet at maximum speed, as well. All four used the stock style push pin mounting for Intel CPU's so they were simple to install. OCZ makes solid products and the performance shows that off."
Legion Hardware
"Putting the OCZ Vendetta series into perspective, I would say that they are extremely quiet, high performance and relatively affordable. They do offer a good level of performance with a near silent operating volume. The design of the Vendetta series is impressive and most of you will appreciate the simple installation process. Although both heatsinks operated at near silence, the Vendetta 2 is slightly quieter, again with its 120mm fan. So for the very best performance the Vendetta 2 is the best choice."
Benchmark Reviews
"When the dust settled, our second half of the benchmark testing indicated that we have a new champion among CPU coolers: the OCZ Vendetta 2. The exposed heatpipes formed from polished copper, along with polished aluminum fins lined with effective pebbles, create a look you can't really help but to appreciate the functional fashion OCZ has designed into the Vendetta 2.The construction found in the Vendetta 2 is what I expect all CPU coolers to have: visually flawless and structurally sound. The OCZ Vendetta 2 was very easy to install since it uses the standard pin-style compression clips."
Overclockers Club
"When the processor was overclocked its true colors started to shine through. While idling and overclocked, the Vendetta 2 was only one degree warmer than the water cooled system. Those are very good temps, especially considering the cost between the air and water cooling setup. The fan on the OCZ Vendetta 2 is very quiet and has no vibration noise whatsoever. The fact that this cooler can work on different platforms is a plus, and it includes all the necessary hardware to handle said platforms. OCZ also includes a thermal paste to use if you have no other preference or supply, so no extra costs are needed when installing."

"The results show that the Vendetta is already powerful, but the results of the Vendetta 2 are even more impressive! We are amazed by this CPU Cooler. We were not expecting a very big improvement in terms of temperature, but the Vendetta 2 is really excellent. We recommend the OCZ Vendetta 2 to everyone who wants a powerful CPU Cooler, and therefore it receives our Recommended Award?.
OverClock Intelligence Agency
"The OCZ Vendetta 2 is a great cooler. While other, more experienced and well-known companies have been piling on weight, heat pipes, fans, and back plates, OCZ chose to construct a light, functional cooler that does not even require motherboard removal. On top of that, it performs better than any other cooler I've used, including high-end coolers. OCZ provided a dead silent fan with the Vendetta 2. All in all, I was extremely impressed with the OCZ Vendetta 2, and it is easily the best air cooler I have ever tested."
CPU3D
"Looking at the results of our tests, I was pleased with the overall cooling peformance of the OCZ Vendetta 2, and it was one of the quietest. The OCZ Vendetta 2 is a good CPU cooler that's ultra quiet and does an adequate job of cooling your processor. It features a new dimple design to eliminate laminar air-flow and includes an ultra quiet 120mm fan. In a nutshell, the Vendetta 2 is a larger but quieter version of the original Vendetta CPU cooler. If you're after silence, then this cooler is definitely worth considering."
HardTecs4U (Germany)
?The cooling performance is very impressive especially if you keep in mind how quiet it is even under full load. The Vendetta II plays in the highest league when it comes to cooling performance and noise level however it is available at a much lower price point than other coolers in this segment. This cooler is something for both users that are looking for extreme cooling performance for the most high end CPUs at a good noise level or users that are looking for an extremely quiet cooler for a bit less powerful CPUs, overall a well deserved Editor?s Choice Award."
FrostyTech
"The Vendetta 2 maintained a nice 12.5°C rise over ambient temperature at default fan speed, and 16.1°C at its reduced fan speed. Judging by the test results, the OCZ Vendetta 2 is indeed better performing and quieter than the original OCZ Vendetta heatsink. As it stands, the OCZ Vendetta 2 heatsink is a great heatsink when it's fan is operating at full speed."

"Build quality is good and OCZ’s logo will look nice in a windowed case. Installation processs is very easy and you don’t need to remove your motherboard. Vendetta 2 was on top. Vendetta 2 outperforms both Zalman & ZEROtherm in terms of silence. Vendetta was almost inaudible at full fan speed. Vendetta 2 was no.1 cooler at the 43 dBA noise level which is our target for a silent cooler. OCZ is a new comer in cooler products but Vendetta 2 is s very good product. We give Editor’s Choice award to Vendetta 2."
Hardware Arena (Turkey)
"There are many aluminum fins which are very close and the special design helps to maximize the contact of air blown from 92mm fan. Vendetta looks nice, installation is very simple and the fan inside the box is a bonus. When you consider all these together with the performance figures, Vendetta deserves our Price/Performance award."

“The OCZ Vendetta2 is compatible with many platforms. This CPU cooler is also very silent thanks to its fan. The OCZ Vendetta 2 has a great price/performance ratio, which places this CPU cooler among the best of its category. Without a doubt, its made for people who are searching for a CPU Cooler with an easy mounting system which is silent and a great performer."
Big Bruin
"The Vendetta 2 is not only capable of lower temperatures, but it can do so with much less noise. At full speed the fan on the Vendetta 2 is quiet, and slowing it down some more makes it near silent without raising the temperatures too much. The cooling performance and low noise operation of the Vendetta 2 are really impressive. By taking the original design and scaling it up to accept a 120mm fan, OCZ Technology has created an enthusiast grade cooler that isn't so large and heavy that it might cause installation issues. The relatively low weight of the Vendetta 2 allows for push pins to be used, which can make installation a breeze."
Total PC Gaming
“The OCZ Vendetta2 is a huge air cooler aimed at two kinds of users: those who want to reduce the amount of noise produced by their system and those wanting to overclock the processor. It uses the latest cooling technology known as HDT – Heat pipe Direct Touch – which means the heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU for better heat transfer. We tested it on an Intel E6850 and compared it against a Thermalright Ultra-120, one of the most popular air coolers on the market. It managed to keep up with the Ultra-120 at stock speeds and with overclocking at only a small difference, very good considering the OCZ Vendetta 2 is cheaper, smaller and weighs less. The cooler remained quiet throughout and we can safely say this is one of the best 120mm fans we’ve seen to date!”
