Sapphire ships the Vapor-X CPU cooler in a large box that features the company's traditional blue and black colour scheme. A plastic window allows consumers to view the cooler before a purchase is made.
Detailed specifications such as dimensions, heatsink material, compatibility and fan speeds are listed on the box's rear side.
The supplied bundle comprises mounting hardware, a black & white installation manual, a 1g tube of thermal paste and a Sapphire product guide.
fantastic ! great job Sapphire…..
They make some good products. I like a cooler with lower noise, im not that bothered about ‘cutting edge performance’.
I really like this, it can compete with the new frio, but its quieter. thats a win to me……
Bit expensive though as Luke said 🙁
Its a little overpriced, but I agree, it looks like a nice, well designed cooler.
I could be wrong, but does anyone know if this is the same vapour chamber as the TPC 812 CM? looks like it to me…..
If they got that down to £44.99 or £39.99 it would sell well. Not sure its offering a great performance to price ratio right now.
I do like it, but I like the frio too. Thermaltake supply sh*tty fans however.
This is using the same dramatically shaped fans they use on their graphics cards which is helping to reduce the noise. I agree, excellent cooler Sapphire.
But once they get outside graphics cards, their prices are really not very competitive. Their motherobards for instance are often £10-£20 more expensive. I appreciate their volumes are lower, but it gives me little incentive to pay more money than competitors.
its a problem for them, this CPU cooling market is ruthless on price today.
I might buy this actually, ive been a FRIO fan for years, but every time I buy a thermaltake cooler, their fans fail, or make just too much bloody noise. I hate companies who skimp on fans. its such an important part of these items.
I was going to get the Corsair H80i, but I might save a few quid, if this is quiet too.
