“This article serves only one purpose: test three of the industry’s most coveted coolers. Not very long ago Benchmark Reviews published the article Best CPU Cooler Performance – Q1 2008. At the time, the effort we gave in producing our test results seemed well worth the trouble. However, months later we see that there’s a lot more to a cooler than just measuring performance with the same common fan. So after even more testing, we now have a full understanding of each CPU coolers individual characteristics and deliver the results to you. Benchmark Reviews is proud to present a three-way fight to the finish: The OCZ Vendetta 2 vs. Thermalright’s Ultra-120 eXtreme vs. Xigmatek’s HDT-S1283.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:
