Combining a distinctive stacked fin array, heat-pipe direct touch (HDT) design, and a large low-noise fan, the Gladiator series is built to take on the cooling challenges of today’s most powerful processors and ensure your system functions at its peak.

Utilizing the proven performance of the latest HDT design, the Gladiator series has direct contact with the processor using four copper heat pipes to ensure the most rapid heat transfer. The unique “folded” fin configuration also helps maximize surface area while maintaining a compact form factor.

Engineered to aggressively dissipate heat produced by high-speed CPUs, the Gladiator series can tackle any challenge in the overclocking arena. These coolers run quiet courtesy of a large fan mounted with anti-vibration rubber connectors to reduce excess noise, perfect for a media center or office desktop where silence is a top priority. The versatile and user-friendly Gladiator series is compatible with AMD AM2/939/754/755 and Intel 775 sockets and can be installed quickly and easily by end-users at all skill levels.


* Although the Gladiator Max has been qualified for these processors for performance and compatibility, it may not fit some motherboards





FrostyTech
"The OCZ Gladiator Max heatsink maintains a very nice temperature of 20.7°C over ambient at full fan speed. The OCZ Gladiator Max heatsink performed very well, particularly for the low amount of noise generated. The difference between the Gladiator Max and the best heatsink was only about 4 degrees, and within that span there are only five heatsinks with similarly quiet operational characteristics.So there you have it, the OCZ Gladiator Max heatsink is a good lower noise cooler for both Intel and AMD platforms."

Benchmark Reviews: Best CPU Cooler Performance
"OCZ Has once again done phenomenal job of taking Heat-pipe Direct Touch (HDT) technology and building it into their own design. OCZ introduces two new sizes (120mm for Gladiator Max, 92mm for Gladiator) for enthusiasts on a budget. The OCZTGLADM model comes with a low-noise 120mm cooling fan attached to a large "M" shaped finsink array. Four 8mm copper heat-pipe rods assembled in a staggered pattern travel to the top of the Gladiator Max using a conventional "U" design. OCZ's new Gladiator Max performed well with 25.6°C over ambient."

Bjorn 3D
"Idling at a temperature of 29°C shows that this CPU cooler is very capable of handling the heat output of the CPU. The fan that was used on this CPU cooler was extremely quiet, almost to the point where I wanted to put my fingers on the blades to make sure that they were even spinning at all. The weight of the Gladiator Max CPU cooler was pretty light considering its size."

Overclockers Club
"The Gladiator MAX takes the OCZ name to a new level with the usage of the direct heatpipe contact, which allowed it to cool the Q9450 to a nice level. The towering look, which seems to be very popular, seems to be how every cooler out on the market is designed here lately. I really liked the fact that it is powered by a 4 pin PWM connector, allowing the cooler to adapt to the heat load being pushed on it, for those who want a quiet case. I really liked the usage of the push-pin mounting hardware, as this makes changing the cooler you have installed quite easy, as well as making sure it's sturdy and locked onto the motherboard.I would suggest this cooler to someone who is looking for a nice silent cooler to use for their dual core build. The cooler not only looks great, but it is able to cool the processor to a reasonable temperature while staying quite silent."

"Overall, the OCZ’s build quality of the Gladiator Max is very nice. The fins felt very sturdy and when I was handling it the thought I might bend a fin never entered my mind. The fan mounting is easy and straight forward. The cooler is light and has a small foot print. The fins of the Gladiator Max also cleared the motherboard components nicely. OZC has made another well built cooler."
