Overclockers' Shootout (deense site) heeft een nogal wazig geschreven review van het AseTek Vapochill koelsysteempje gepost. Dit doe-het-zelf Kryotech alternatief kost circa 1700 gulden en zou vergelijkbare temperaturen van -40C moeten kunnen bereiken:
I got very dissapointed to start with --- I actually didn't get past 140MHz front side bus with the VapoChill - on any of the motherboards... Just the same speed I could achieve on AsusP3BF with a AlphaPIII cooler attached to the CPU !! .. Well - I have experimented with cooling off the bx chipset in the past ... And did something radical ... I mounted a 53watts peltier on the back off the bx chip and a 23 watt peltier on top off it ( limited space under the VapoChill CPU box ) ... Off course I had to cut out a opening in the plate behind the motherboard to mount a 60 mm fan on top off the peltier heatsink.. The fan mounted on the front peltier had to be mounted offcenter - not enough space under the CPU box. I used the AbitBX6.rev2 motherboard flashed with the MW bios. I fired up at 143MHz front side bus / 2.4 core voltage....and after "chill" (Aseteks own program) halted the boot for 60 seconds the system went straight into windows -- 100%stable...644 MHz ... I have been able to adjust this CPU to 644MHz before - in windows / SoftFSB with PIII125S Alpha cooler ... The system was extremely unstable - and went down after a minute or so ...But now I was able to boot from scratch into windows - and 100% stable...Well -- what with 153MHz front side bus... the system beeped at my everytime I tried ... no matter how I adjusted bios settings ... "videocard beeps" In with the 4MB Creative Graphics Blaster ... and voila .... made it into windows ...that is 688.5 MHz with a processor that is designed to run 450MHz
Verder hebben ze een paar CPUMark benchmarks, o.a. van een Celeron 400 die dankzij de Vapochill een snelheid van 672MHz haalt.
