With so many Socket A
coolers on the market, there is very little room for a good reliable
cooler to come out on top. You would need to combine
performance with some decent cooling or there is no chance at
reaching the top of the list.
We take a look today
at one of OCZ's Socket A offerings in their line of cpu coolers.
The Glacier 2 is a finned heatsink made from aluminum. It
measures 60mm X 55mm, a nice size that should fit in most
motherboards. What sets it apart from the rest of the budget
coolers is that, it includes a copper plate at the base of the
heatsink. Copper has been known to be a great material to
transfer heat and this addition of this tiny piece attempts to carry
this idea further.
The heatsink itself is one solid block
of aluminum with fins that run across it. It is cool by a 36
CFM fan made by Dynaeon. The cpu clip has the added benefit of
the plastic covering for easy installation. The plastic
covering provides more leverage so installation of the cooler would
be easier.
