Overclocking

Staying under 70 degrees C for a sub 30 USD is quite an achievement and thus very impressive. Prime95 did not fail or reproduce any errors making this a stable 3600 MHZ overclock on a quad core processor.
Noise

This is a bit of a discussion. The Vendetta does not have the option to regulate the fan speed, unless your mainboard supports it. We used a 780i mainboard it's smart fan function will regulate the fan just fan. Put it on 40% RPM (done with the tests above) and you'll be looking at a pretty silent noise level. We got 38 DBa from the PC. Now the fan by itself is reasonably silent, yet attached to the cooler it starts to make a bit of noise.

However, if you have a mainboard that does not support FAN RPM control you better look into getting yourself a controller or simply skip the product because at 100% RPM it is way too noisy to be comfortable and noise levels will be pushed close to 48 DBa for the entire PC. Which is too much. Any modern mainboard has the smart RPM feature though, so it's not too worrying.

Now you simply push the fan onto the ‘T’ shaped rubber mounts and you secure the fan. It's that simple. Since the rubber mounts are a little fragile, I'd like to see OCZ include five instead of four of these mounts. Use too much force and they can snap.

I do like OCZ, although I believe the noise level may be too much for me.
