vapochill micro?

[monkey999]

im lookin for a new heat sink and fan for my opteron 165
i was hearing alot about that vapo chill http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Vapochill_CPU_Coolers.html
so what does everyone else suggest
i do overclock and my room is hot in teh summer

well my thoughts are that it is just too expencive. I would go with a nice water cooling unit. It would be BA to have your opty running at -5c at full load oced like mad but you might have an opty with a cold bug, that is the chip doesn't work when running at below freezing temps.

you can save a good chunk of change by just going with water and you should still be able to oc a lot too.

I have to agree on the first response. It is more expensive and if it's really that hot you have to be very careful about insulation so that condensation doesn't occur and fry everything.

i dont see how you say that the vapochill is too expensive, you must not have looked at the link, its not talking about a phase-changer, it is talking about a Vapochill Micro that will cost $49-$59 thats not bad for a cpu cooler. you couldnt get any quality watercooling setup for that money

So anyway back to the topic i'm not sure how the Vapochill Micro will perform but have read a few reviews on some of their other products that have gotten good reviews. it should do you well , read these reviews to get a better idea for which particular one you want

reviews for the vapochill micro and one here too

Another cooler to check out
Zalman CNPS9500 for $62.99 its good cooler too

Well in terms of cooling power I'd say that a Vapochill Micro would be a good choice. From what I've seen they have pretty good cooling capacity and they're not that expensive so I'd say go for it!

there are many better options at the same price that will give you more performance such as the big typhoon or si-120
