"With the introduction of Intel's latest range of processors - the i7 series - thermal solutions manufactures have been caught between two minds: to create a new cooler which is better able to counter the 130W TDP of these new processors or to create a mounting mechanism for an existing CPU cooler in their range to allow it to fit the LGA1366 motherboards.

OCZ took the decision to do the later and created the Force II support brackets for the Gladiator Max. The cooler follows popular tower format design utilises a single 120mm fan but will this be enough cooling for the high heat-producing i7 920? Let's find out."
