OCZ Vanquisher CPU Cooler

“Hows the OCZ Vanquisher stack up? Well I am kind of sitting on the fence as they would say. The Vanquisher has a great look and I love the design of the cage style fan mount / grill. I would have liked to seen the screws not round out so easily, or not be screwed in so tightly. Performance wise the Vanquisher did moderately well at every point excluding the core temp. With the copper base being relatively rough, I kind of expected it to elevate one or two of the temperatures. With the core temp showing 54C and the CPU temp showing 39C, I just don't think the heat was transferring as good as it could have with a better finish on the base.”
