Default Photos of Vapochill

Thought some of you guys might like to take a look at the Vapochill. Sorry for the dark photos.

Damn. That thing looks pretty sweet. I'll take 2 thanx
There's only one fault i can pick with it. And that's the power supply mounting position. That's a crap place for them to put it. I mean, How are you supost to see the CPU and that area when you put your window and neon kit in

I must agree, the PSU position is not ideal. I did read at overclockers.com an explanation why the PSU was there. It had to do with airflow through the case.

Glad you enjoyed the photos.

Cheers,
Jeremy

If you don't care about the money (although I beg to differ that you could build 2 decent computers for AUD1700) it is the most professional cooling device on the planet. I'm very happy with the one I purchased at the beginning of the year (even though I had to work pretty hard to pay for it).

it looks nice, but as they say "up to 40% speed increase", why not save your money and buy another cpu / mobo / thing of ram for 100% speed increase in like 3mnths, you can get 20% speed increase with a thermoengine anyway

Ahhh !!! Good to have the forums back!!

And i see the Vapo is getting some attention here now there is an "OFFICIAL" importer of the product. ( seen your post at the Vapo forums Jeremy)

I have had mine since November 2000 ( one of the first socket versions released) , i got mine directly from Asetek ( there were NO importers then).
If you can look past the price ( you get what you pay for !!) it really is a Brilliant product.

STABILITY would have to be a word that sums up its performance, and the fact you NEVER have to woory about cooling again.

Worth every penny !!!

one thing is to overclock, another is to waste money overclocking instead of upgrading =)

see my point?
