Vapochill is back!
 

It looks like Vapochill is back

(never mind the poor preview, that says that R-134A is cooler...!)

Yup. Still more expensive then the Prometia though.

might be ok for some people but if you use amd xp2100 and up that heat will put a hurting on the vapochill. here is a link to the compressor used in the new unit.

type in bd50f in the search window to look at the specs.compressor is a 12 volt model.

I managed to find the pdf for it, but there are 2 capacity charts. What's up with that?

Off hand, it looks like it might run at -20 for a non-OC'd Athlon XP, but if we increase the heat load to 150 Watts, it would barely pull -5.

not sure i cannt remember the two.i will try to look it up tonight but i think it is refering to low temp usage and med temp usage.low terp usage will show less watts than the chart for med temp

The Prometeia compressors are

Euro - Danfoss NL11F used

And the NF9FX

One advantage of the ProMe over the Vapa is that it does'nt draw power from the PSU but the Mains

This is a good shoot-out over at HardWare Test

What du ya think ?

Nice review!

I guess Vapochill is NOT back after all...

The Vapa Premium Edition (160W) has better cooling, one thing to consider in the shoot-out is it's the standard Vapa Model. Mk II Vaporchill

The price for a Vapochill (standard) has fallen, here in UK

I agree with your appraisal about the review Ben, the test rig was very clever!

Another point to consider "Chip-con promised to look into the possibility of placing the probe closer to the CPU" from what I can gather this has now been done in the latest models of the ProMe

i didn't know vapochill was ever gone...:)

they are still so expensive though
