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)
