OCZ Gladiator MAX CPU Cooler Review

Q6600 Temperature Testing


Just as we saw with the dual core results, there is nothing to be ashamed of with the Gladiator's results. Heck, it performs similarly to the T.R.U.E. Black even though it is a bit less expensive. With that being said it still is not able to meet (let alone surpass) the high water mark set by the Vendetta 2. Interestingly enough, this cooler was able to close the gap from 2.0°C at stock speeds to only 1.7°C at max overclock; who knows, maybe at really, really insane levels the extra heatpipe does make a difference and would allow it surpass the Vendetta 2. I for one am not willing to push that much voltage through my chip but it certainly is food for thought.
