Manufacturer:Rosewill Inc.
Price: $65 MSRP / $25 USD (Newegg.com)

For the avid readers of Overclockers Online, you will recognize this brand as it was only a short week or two ago that I reviewed one of their CPU coolers. For the rest of you that missed the previous review, let me introduce you to Rosewill Inc. Rosewill is a computer hardware manufacturer that specializes in high quality computer accessories and professional service to back those components up.



Rosewill opened for business in 2004 and immediately went to work in building the Rosewill brand into one of the most recognized computer accessory manufacturers around. Their product line-up has expanded drastically over the short period of time that they have been around and includes a vast landscape of products ranging from enclosures, to USB peripherals, to input devices. They also offer a number of processor coolers, one of which we will be looking at today.



The Rosewill RCX-Z2-EX is similar to the last Rosewill CPU cooler I reviewed yet so very different. Again, heatpipes play a starring role in how this cooler functions but the design is not of an upright type. Instead, the RCX-Z2-EX has its heatpipes sandwiched on top of each other with a mountain of aluminum cooling fins in-between. The included 92mm fan then brushes away the heat generated by the processor at the same time circulating air down toward the motherboard aiding in the cooling of those components. With all CPU cooler reviews, there are plenty of photos to look at and discuss so we will jump right into it with a quick glance at the package that the Rosewill RCX-Z2-EX comes in.
