OCZ technology, http://www.ocztechnology.com, has gained a reputation for producing the finest memory components for today’s PCs. Recent developments in the last year have increased their reputation as a valued supplier due to their outstanding power supplies and coolers. The Gladiator Max CPU cooler sets a competitive trend in the market.

OCZ produced some great coolers like the Vendetta models though the expansion in their product lines has paved the way for improved products. Moving further into the cooling foray, and targeting the increasing need to cool faster and faster processors, the Gladiator Max CPU Cooler is a true winner.

OCZ have a name for this design - HDT or Heatpipe Direct Touch. The motive behind building the Gladiator Max CPU cooler was driven by changes in the computing world today using more powerful processors which also generate tremendous amount of heat. The Gladiator Max CPU cooler is built to ensure that the cooling challenges are met and the system works along this concept. This has produced further confidence in PC overclocking possibilities. Compared to many other coolers, the Gladiator has a bigger fan at 120mm in width with less throughput requirements due to reduced revolutions.

The design of the Gladiator Max CPU cooler is quite slick. The cooler has 4 heat pipes which are U-shaped amounting to 8 vertical pipes. These dissipate heat and the fins of the cooler are quite rigid being seated firmly onto the housing. The base of the Gladiator Max CPU cooler has 4 pillars. There are 4 pillars forming part of the base and connected to 4 fins.

The installation is quite easy as unlike many coolers, you don’t need to remove the motherboard. So, there is no skill required, novices can install this fan. You will be quite amazed at how quiet the cooler can be during the day. This adds to its strong market position combining extra cooling, ease of installation and noise reduction. For example, the renowned Asus Triton cooler presents a significantly higher noise level. That said, it should be noted that the Triton has a fan size of 92mm and more revolutions.

So, enjoy a high speed computing experience with the latest processors whilst keeping the processor cool!
