Cooling/CPU Cooling by piotke @ 2005-08-09

asetek started with phase-change cooling, then they added water-cooling units to their product list, and today we see their first air cooled heatsink. Is their evolution backwards? The VapoChill Micro is very competitively priced, promises to remove up 150W of CPU generated heat, silently, and it weighs less then a feather. Too good to be true? Let?s find out.

The VapoChill Micro delivers very respectable performance, only trailing the XP-90C by 1-2°C and equaling the Shogun in the performance category.

There is another tidbit of information worth mentioning here, the asetek fans seems to offer a better performance/noise ratio than the Panaflo when both are running at 12v; however when the fans are set to “Low” speed the Panaflo takes the lead and seems to push more air.
