Sapphire Vapor-X CPU Cooler Review
We're all aware of Sapphire and their Vapor-X technology. They've been implementing said Vapor-X technology on video cards since the 3870 with great success. Can the Vapor-X technology be adapted for CPU cooling as well? It sure can...but will it perform the same way it does on their graphics cards? Well lucky for us Sapphire was kind enough to send us one of their new Vapor-X Universal CPU coolers to test out. So without further adieu let's take a look!

Re: Sapphire Vapor-X CPU Cooler Review
Not a bad cooler, although I have noticed that Sapphire Mobos and Cooler are hard to get a hold of. The only items they seem to really sell in the states are the GPU line up.
