Sapphire Vapor-X CPU Cooler Review
Ryan Martin / 12 years ago
At stock settings the acoustics are very quiet, no surprises here as the stock settings do not really push the cooler very far.
Once we introduced overclocking the acoustics did actually rise a bit. It is important to note that a lot of this is due to the fact there are 2 fans, the reality is the cooler actually wasn’t that loud but it was still noticeable. The Sapphire Vapor-X offered acoustic performance to rival the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 – an achievement in itself.
As always, these acoustic levels were recorded after 10 minutes of continuous Prime 95 burn in. So this is the “worst-case” scenario for acoustic output, and for a worst case scenario its really not that bad at all.
