OCZ's Gladiator Max heatsink is an extension of the Vendetta 2 model, except that it now utilizes four large diameter copper heatpipes and a somewhat different aluminum fin geometry. As with other heatsinks from this series, the copper heatpipes make direct contact with the top of the processor - an approach called Heatpipe Direct Touch. OCZ's Gladiator Max heatsink is equipped with rubber vibration absorbing fan posts to quietly support a 120mm PWM fan which can scale in speed from 800-1500RPM.
