BioMetha Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Big fan of overclocking, and this for more than 30 years, I just recently registered on HWbot, to do overclocking, but with old hardware, just for fun And while rummaging through my stocks of computer parts, I came across Asetek's Vapochill Light speed, stored there on a cupboard, sheltered from time, and the idea immediately germinated, but we have to talk about it, get it working again, a piece of history like that, and in like new condition. Through photos and videos, I will try to make you rediscover the Vapochill LightSpeed. Hoping that you like it. Dive back into the "golden age" of overclocking through this SS device can only do us good. (Please excuse me for my English, I use a well-known translation system) The 1st pics: Here are the pictures, the video is coming soon ?

suzuki Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I see it is still stock. Had mine modified by nachtfalke, even so it still doesn't hold the load of current generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioMetha Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 Thanks to you, the Vapochill LS is rather made for CPUs up to 200 Watts, but not above, it's a piece of overclocking history and above all a collector's item today, from 2004, Still very capable with good cpu, I have some nice stuff to test on it. But modern CPUs, which stock already require more than 200watts, no, the ^^ It's great for retro oc, and it's even amazing even now. I won't make any modifications to it, I keep it original, that's the point of this device, rare, unusual, a UFO for many, outside the hwbot forum of course 5 hours ago, Mr.Scott said: Nice piece of history. ? ?

My personal opinion as a user of both , yes Prometeia was better mainly cause of better cooling performance. Tested both when they first released , many many years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
