In
1999 the mainstream method of overclocking was be use of a hand-lapped
Alpha 6035 HSF. We would basically too the shroud off and throw a 60mm
delta fan on it. Just these simple methods of what I call blueprinting
yielded as much as a 10C drop in processor temperature. This would allow
the use of a modified vcore circuit so you could push your processor a
bit further. Sure some people were into other expensive methods like
water-cooling with Peltiers, but those of us that had a lot to lose
stuck to good heat sinks or perhaps water-cooling. Phase change was
basically unheard of for a long time, mostly due to the complexity and
expense. It wasn't until processor wattage began to overpower the
traditional water-cooled Peltier that people starting paying more
attention to phase change, and with Vapochill's expanding development of
their phase change, you would actually see these things at LAN parties
or computer shows.
Not
to bore you with too much history, but the bottom line is if you want
the ultimate in cooling your processor you're in luck because its no
longer hard to find. Asetek's distribution on the Vapochill has
basically become so saturated that vendors compete by offering the best
price on a Vapochill unit. This is a good thing for us overclockers,
since it is no longer a science to obtain a Vapochill unit, let along
one like the LS that we have for your viewing enjoyment. If you want the
ultimate overclock for your system this is it, and that's the bottom
line.
