Renowned for enthusiast-grade graphics cards that push the boundaries of performance, Sapphire is on the hunt for success with the company's first ever CPU cooler – the Vapor-X. Utilising vapour chamber technology, can Sapphire replicate the success of the critically-acclaimed Vapor-X coolers used on their graphics cards?

A direct-contact vapour chamber base should allow for a rapid rate of efficient heat transferal when coupled with the quartet of 7mm heatpipes. Dissipating the transferred heat energy is a task for the Vapor-X's densely-packed aluminium fin array and pair of 2200 RPM blue LED fans.

Sapphire claims up to 200W of heat dissipation with the Vapor-X CPU cooler. Can the vapour chamber technology boost Sapphire's Vapor-X CPU cooler into a class-leading performance category?

Specifications:

  • CPU Socket Compatibility: Intel LGA 775, 1155/1156, 1366, 2011 and AMD FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2, AM2+
  • Dimensions: 135 x 110.4 x 163.5mm (5.3 x 4.3 x 6.4 in)
  • Heat Sink Material: Vapor Chamber / 4x 7mm Heatpipes / Aluminium Fins
  • Heat Pipes Dimensions: ø7mm, 362mmx4
  • Fan Speed: 495 – 2200 RPM (PWM)
  • Fan Air Flow: 77 CFM (each)
  • Fan Connector: 4-pin PWM

It’s taken Sapphire quite some effort and a lot of engineering resources, but the company has finally finished its first CPU cooler and at least for now, it’s a unique product in the market. The Vapor-X name gives it all away, as this is a vapor chamber CPU cooler.

If you look carefully at the pictures, you’ll notice that the base of the cooler is rather thick, well, this is the vapor chamber. The small piece of metal protruding out the side is where the liquid for the vapor chamber was injected, but sadly it can’t be done differently with current manufacturing processes.

Four heatpipes draws the heat away from the vapour chamber and into a rather large heatsinik with a 120mm fan on each side. It’s a bit of a beast of a cooler, although it’s actually quite a bit smaller than some other “extreme” CPU coolers we’ve seen.

Kitguru says: It’s not quite ready for prime time yet, but when it is, it’ll come with mounting brackets for all current CPU sockets.
