Het Grote VapoChill Topic / Overclocken / Mods / Idee's
Ik zat al meerdere keren te denken om maar's gezellig een Vapochill topic te openen, er zullen heus wel vapochill users zijn toch ? Niet iedereen wilt voor Prometheia gaan
Asetek - Het bedrijf

asetek, founded in 1997, is a world leader in design and manufacturing of vapor phase cooling solutions for personal computer systems. The company is located in northern Denmark.
asetek's products, sold under the VapoChill brand name, are designed for private PC enthusiasts and professional users who demand exceptional performance and scalability for workstation class applications including, especially, computer-aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC), and complex data analysis and manipulation. The company works actively with world leading companies within the hardware and software industries to insure maximum reliability, compatibility, and performance for its products.
asetek's products are sold partly through an international network of resellers and partly through an exclusive network of professional system integrators (SI's), who receive substantial education and training to insure the best possible service and support for their customers.
Wat is PhaseChanging?
Ik heb dit gekopieerd van de site OCPrices waar een goede verklaring staat over de theorie PhaseChanging !
The VapoChill Premium Edition, like its predecessor is based on Vapour Phase change technology. This is basically a fancy description for the way any household fridge works, but look at the size of your fridge, and compare it to the size of a vapochill and you will see that squeezing the technology into such a compact unit is no small achievement! The Vapochill is made up of four core components; the compressor, the condenser, the capillary tube and the evaporator. Flowing throughout this system is a refrigerant. The ideal refrigerant would be non-toxic, unreactive, stable for the lifetime of the refrigerator, ozone-safe, but most importantly we need a compound that has a low boiling point. It’s a well known fact that CFCs fulfil all of these criteria perfectly, apart from one - they deplete the Ozone layer. Inside the VapoChill you will find a refrigerant that has an efficiency close or equal to CFCs, but without the negative environmental impact. R134a was developed by a company called Daikin, and is a brand new and state of the art chemical which fulfils all of the criteria listed above. It is pretty much as close to being a perfect refrigerant as you can currently get.

In its native warm gaseous form, the R134a is sucked from the evaporator (the section that extracts the heat from the CPU) into the compressor. As its name suggests, the compressor is where the gas is compressed into a liquid form. This is known as change-of-state or phase-change. The liquefied refrigerant is then passed down to the evaporator which is responsible for transferring heat from the CPU into the R134a. The energy required to boil the liquid from a liquid to a gas is substantial, and this energy is extracted from the CPU head. To allow this to happen however, the pressure must be reduced on transit to the evaporator. This is accomplished by passing it through a tube with a very small diameter (a capillary). Without the VapoChill attached to anything, this can result in such a substantial drop in temperature that the CPU readout was actually recording -36C in a room with an ambient temperature of 26C. That’s a ?T of over 62 degrees C – amazing performance. The heat transferred from the CPU into the refrigerant must of course be removed before the cycle can repeat, and thats where the condenser comes in. This is accomplished by running the warm vapour through what is basically a high-surface area radiator. For maximum efficiency this condenser features copper pipes and a 120mm quiet fan blowing through it.

De Evaporator word doormiddel van een hold down vast gemaakt op de processor, de Vapochill staat bekent om core's te crushen van AMD Cpu's welke erg fragiel zijn, met een pentium 4 processor heb je geen tot weinig problemen met de hold down, alhoewel ik zelf de hold down pure poep vind

Brand maar los met vragen, meer kan ik ook niet van deze openings post maken eigenlijk
ASETEK BASHING daar in tegen niet ! laten we vrede behouden tussen de PROM users en VAPO users ok
