I couldn't find any detailed reviews where it is put up against other high-end air coolers.
Razor6,

Yep!

BUT, the VapoChill Micro's test results look great and it packages in a smaller area. Joe's unit with the very long hose dryer tubes take a hit on performance.

I got four of these VapoChill Micro's on order. For the cost of being less than $50USD each, they are better for a medium OC'ed system than a WC setup? Why? Less parts, no tubing to route, and the over all cost is less than a good price of a pump!

LG back in 1999-2001 came out with the first "thermosiphon" for cooling CPU's. It was called the Calmera (KS-07) in Europe. This was more of a cooling novelty than anything else. It looked like this ...



Then LG made the better unit. It was called the KS-10.


Soon, LG ( http://www.leonhardt-group.de/index4.htm ) sold them through Asetek. http://www.leonhardt-group.de/Produk...-Kuehler_e.htm

Asetek then brought us the VapoChill Micro! Also known as the LG KS-20.



The Micro is a very leading technology over the other two previous thermospihons. LG started production of these units for Asetek last month. For the price, they are excellent compared to other priced cooling solutions out there.

There are more reviews coming on this product.

If Asetek holds the price on these, we'll see more of them in the very short future.
