This product is everything they claim it is. A cooler using phase change technology.

But there is no compressor used, it's just a passive process, just like an evaporative water cooling loop. That's why this cooler is limited to room temperature. In optimal conditions, you can go a little below it, but to get 'real' phase change performace, you need to actively 'push' the process, using a compressor.

I guess that defines the difference in preception between 'phase change' and 'heat pipe' or 'evaporative' cooling from our point of view ...

Asetek doesn't lie about the product, but they do indeed twist the names, to make people believe it's something else. But never worry, if they fool people, it will result in a worse image people have about their company. So they WILL end up fooling themselves.
