I don't see how this model is going to perform better than the Scythe Shogun/Ninja. What is so improved in this design?

It looks a lot like the new coolers from asetek.

Once a commercial idea is refined, the technology developed and the final products available to the market - most innovations seem simple.

In this respect the technical profile of the patented VapoChill Micro CPU cooler series is indeed simple.

Nevertheless, the vapor chamber technology of the VapoChill - utilizing an evaporation process directly on the CPU - is in all its simplicity the most cost/effective and most efficient CPU cooling solution on the market.

Two aspects of the VapoChill Micro puts it ahead of traditional heat pipe coolers:

1. Dramatically increased evaporation and condensation surface area.

2. Direct mounting of the evaporator on the CPU.

These two features, however simple they may appear, is why the VapoChill Micro is the superior solution on the market.

Its not a question of opinion, it is a question of physics. No more no less.
