This was a pretty good first attempt at a CPU cooler from Sapphire, but the performance could have been better for the price. There are less expensive coolers on the market that perform better, but the TRON-style lighting could appeal to many. Discus...

In Sapphire's first attempt at CPU air-cooling, we found they did an admirable job. The Vapor-X and its vapor chamber technology did just as well on our test bench today as they've been doing on Sapphire's own graphic cards these past few years.You can lo...

Sapphire definitely went out on a limb using their GPU cooling technology in the Vapor-X CPU Cooler, and they definitely deserve a lot of credit for that. The Vapor-X system is a proven performer on GPUs, so they had a good starting point. Most importan...
Excellent Cooling, Low Noise, Fit and Finish, Sapphire VaporX Technology, Sapphire Reputation
Mounting Plate Interference
Sapphire has nurtured its Vapor-X technology into a well known and respected brand over the past five years and was first seen here on OverclockersClub with the launch of Sapphire's HD 3870 Atomic. Leveraging the cooling efficiency of the technology it su...
I am really glad that Sapphire was able to get me another sample, because at it was, I was not ready to get behind or recommend their CPU cooler. From what I have seen with the latest sample to hit my desk, my feelings about the Vapor-X have completel...
It's best to stick with the things you're good at, that's our conclusion after testing Sapphire's Vapor-X. The cooling performance, despite the relatively high price of the product, is pretty average. Moreover, it makes too much noise. So no matter how ...

Very fast peak to idle time, Good cooling at stock CPU speeds, Excellent fan mountings, Fairly easy to fit
Meaty appearance, Blue LEDs suit certain builds, PWMcontrolled fans
Unimpressive cooling performance, Install plate won't fit all motherboards
We were looking forward to seeing what Sapphire's Vapor-X technology would bring to the CPU cooling market, but the first retail product has struggled to live up to its potential. The Vapor-X looks an attractive solution - both on paper and in the flesh ...
