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."

“It is truly the best cooling we can imagine and it should clearly be associated with OCZ product. Overclocking is also one of advantages of these memories. They are having the potential unprecedented in other 2x2 kits. How dothey work? Brillant! They don’t fear of high voltage and thanks to superb cooling they are really cold during operation.”

"The Dominatrix proved itself to be one of the most precise and comfortable mice we’ve tested so far. It responded quickly to our on-the-fly aim adjustments: we left a trail of dead virtual bodies in our wake. The rubber grip felt secure and sweat-free after hours of intense gaming. The big body wasn’t an issue because the Dominatrix felt light and agile despite its size – and we could always adjust the center of gravity. Costing a lot less, the Dominatrix is a killer alternative getting the best for your money’s worth. It follows the current design trend and excelled at its primary function: being a perfect gaming-grade mouse.”

"OCZ has done everything they can to make sure you have what you need to install the block. Also rather than cheap plastic barbs that you get with some blocks, this one comes with nice nickel plated brass barbs. And the OCZ Hydroflow mounting system is very very good. The OCZ Hydroflow water block is a great package in a low restriction design that's great for multiple block loops. It includes one of the most complete and quality accessory packages I've seen, and has a simple and sleek look. In addition the mounting mechanism ensures consistent and accurate mounts by all users and prevents the possibility of installing the block wrong. It's an extremely nice block that keeps my Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz and 1.47Vcore at under 51C under load at 21C ambient, this is something my air cooling just could not do. Furthermore, it appears additional performance may be had by simple increases in mounting pressure."

"The OCZ Dominatrix is a nice gaming mouse that offers many of the features you find on high-end mice costing much more money. The mouse is very accurate at all sensitivity levels and features on-board memory for storing profiles and programming options. When playing FPS titles like Call of Duty 4 or Crysis, the OCZ Dominatrix is very accurate and works well. Tracking was without issue on all sorts of surfaces I tried from gaming mouse pads to my desktop. The mouse layout is very good and it feels comfortable in the hand. Perhaps the best feature of the OCZ Dominatrix is its price. If you are looking for a quality gaming mouse on a budget, the OCZ Dominatrix is one of the best budget gaming mice around."

"OCZ's keyboard has a lot to offer even for people in your household who don’t game as the macro keys can do a lot more than allow you to tweakyour favorite game. Regardless of what you are looking for in a keyboard there is certainly a lot to like about this product. Those rubber keys are truly a godsend when it comes to sticky fingers and it will never cost you a slipped key press. This keyboard gives you plenty of tactile feedback that even if you never use it for games it still would be a good investment. In the end, there really is not much to not like about the OCZ Alchemy Elixir. If you are in market for a relatively inexpensive, yet still really good keyboard you should take a long serious look at the OCZ Elixr."
