Prometia or Vapochill?

krairach · Apr 14, 2003

I am wondering which one is better.
I don't care how it look or alu case or not.

Features/functionality/Price are more important.
Also looking for the possibility of changing to R404.

Based on my preliminary study, both Vapochill and Prometia seem to be very close in terms of functionality and features.
However, a Vapochill is a bit cheaper than a Prometia esp. the Standard Edition of Vapochill which has 130W capacity. I think it should be enough for AMD [email protected]

Prometia is going to launch a new model but I guess it is going to be much more expensive. Not good not good.

Anyone have more info?

Any comment/recommendation please?

I would wait for the new prometia, if you are going to spend that kind of money you might as well get the best for a little more money.

Vapochill Standalone SE = 384 euros + 49 euros freight (asetek webshop)
Vapochill Standalone PE = 458 euros + 49 euros freight (asetek webshop)
Vapochill SE = 559 euros (in Holland)
Vapochill PE = 619 euros (in Holland)

Prometia Black = 709 euros (in Holland) www.oc-shop.com

ew that doesnt look good

go with the vapo PE then, If you up the voltage to 2.2v then you will most likely be putting out more than 130watts. Also that compressor would work better with the r404 if you decide to refill it later.

I am interested in Vapochill Standalone PE (save me 100 euros for the case/mounting)

I have an AOpen Full Tower ATX Case.
Do you have any idea it would fit in the upper section of the case?

I'm sure the new Prommy will be quite impressive.. only time will tell though. :/

I've been mounting approx. 10 AMD Tbreds in my vapo... and never a single crushed core. Asetek send shims with the case now...

It's so simple to use and 2.2 V isn't impossible... I'm at 2.05 V right now...

2.05 is one thing, but 2.2 is almost sighning your cpus death warrant. I suppose it depends on the chip.

A pally could probably stand 2.2 under subzero cooling. A tbred would be less than happy.

Vapo PE!

i hear prom is the best

Finally, Just order a Vapochill Standalone PE today.
But I heard that it is difficult to fit into an AOpen HQ08 Full Tower case.
The height of a vapochill 16cm takes about 4x5.25" drivebays.
The width of a vapochill 19cm is about 1 cm bigger than the case.

anyone have any idea when the new prometia's going to be released?

That's expensive... Spend 600 Euro on an Vapochill instead...

i think the 2.2V might just be a typo (at least i hope it is). if you look at his sig, his cpu is running 2.2ghz at 1.6V.

but you guys are right, 2.2V on a cpu would not be a good thing, no matter what cooling you had.
