Zaward Vapor 120

btarunr · Jan 19, 2011

Zaward drew inspiration from the golf ball to enhance air-flow using a "heatsink breathing design", as well as heat dissipation with its Vapor 120 CPU cooler. In the process, it came up with a rather slim-looking 120 mm tower-type heatsink. Will Zaward's golf ball-inspired CPU cooler click?

Great review Btarnur.
And again, golf-ball surface fans. Doesn't seem to bring much of an improvement, although they do perform very good.
I can't help but notice that it looks very much like a big sized version of my SD963 LOKI.
The mounting kit is just like mine. I wonder is these coolers are made by the same OEM and distributed by different brands, in my case, Xigamtek.

Very interesting. I was going to go with this but got a titan fenrir instead for the mounting bracket. Sounds like great value tho`
