Bottom Line:
With lots of cooling fans to choose from its important to get it right as CPU’s demand better cooling to keep up with the excess temperature from overclocking. We evaluated cooling fans from OCZ and Thermaltake, performance varied and so did noise, read on to discover what we found in our official review........

Test Setup
Prime95 Torture Test was used to put CPU under load for one hour each test.
When idling, the computer was left to do nothing for an hour.
Temperatures were read by Gigabyte EasyTune4 and verified with Speedfan 4.09
Here is a picture of the two heatsinks compared. The size of the Volcano 12 is much bigger than the Gladiator 3 a you can see by the picture.
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound was used for testing all heatsink fans.
