While the stock coolers have improved over the past few years, Tt makes the argument that improvement is not enough when you are talking extreme performance; can the V1AX live up to its reputation on this new core?

"Thermaltake has been known for making quality coolers for some time, the V1AX is no exception to this rule as the product is made well and designed to be pleasing to the eye. With the heat output of Intel's Core i7's under load, we are seeing the limits of what the V1AX can cool. The unit is easy to use, instructions are clear and it performs well enough to be a top choice for stock cooling replacement. If you are going all out for OC champion, you might want to look elsewhere."
