CONCLUSION

 

 

 

 

    Akasa has made a good name in the market during all these years mainly thanks to their CPU Coolers which although not on par with the ones by other leading companies such as Thermalright did manage to combine good performance at affordable price tags and that’s what most people are really after. The Venom Voodoo continues that trend but I really did expect something more especially since it only managed to surpass the regular Venom version but just 1.6 degrees Celsius. Of course a second fan and 6 smaller heatpipes instead of 4 larger ones are not enough to produce miracles but still the performance difference between both models is not what I was expecting (although it’s a lot better than nothing at all).

 

 

    Once again I was unable to track this particular product inside the USA but inside the EU it currently retails for 44.90Euros (Caseking) which is just 10euros over the normal Venom version. With this in mind it once again comes down to what you really need and how much you are willing to spend so if the performance of the Venom Voodoo CPU Cooler is enough to cover your needs and you don't really want to spend more on a CPU Cooler then you should consider it  and put it on top of your to buy list. However if you are mostly interested in low noise levels, superior performance (or just low noise levels) and money is not an issue then there are quite a few better solutions out in the market for you to choose from.
