I'd say wait a bit longer and get a TRUE... However I think the Zerotherm OR the Vendetta 2 would be good on that Quad Core, typically, the HDT Vendetta2/S1283 (What I have now) runs better on dual cores, Not sure about the Zerotherm though.
OCZ or Zerotherm?

This is what I get with an OCZ Vendetta 2.
3.4GHZ at 1.4v. Ambient was 27°C But I have lapped the cooler and CPU.

BradleyW,

Zerotherm Review
Remember if you are going "used" please ensure a few things:
1. Make sure the fins are not bent
2. Make sure the contact area is not damaged or pitted
3. Make sure the fan works correctly...it will need power
![]()
4. Make sure there are no cracks in the pipes
5. I believe it comes with a fan controller so make sure that works as well
6. Ask the person selling it WHY? What conditions did he/she use it under? Is there a return policy?
Also make sure you use some good thermal paste!
Good luck!
