this cooler is quite old i think its an eol product on the ocz site they put it in the archive.

It will still probably be in stock in retailers though. Check out the ones listed on the OCZ website just to be sure. :)

Its quite easy to understand.
it gives the delta(temp difference) from ambient(room) temperature.
80w and 150w as a test case (like for dualcore and quadcore) and how the cooler copes.

Edit: You know you can buy whatever color fan you feel like and put in on your cooler.

Edit1: the tx3 should be fine for stock and dual cores. And mild overclocking.

Same ambient temp here.

Just watch out for types of connectors on the fan.

My last suggestion get a 212+ and 2 led fans to go with it.
A fan controller too for when things get loud.

If you are looking for a cost effective CPU cooler, I have to throw in the Scythe Mugen 2. It is a beast. IDK about availability in India, but if you can find one, I (and most reviews) think this is the best CPU cooler for the money. Good Luck. :toast:
