1st Vertical Vapor Chamber CPU cooler from Coolermaster

[Rowdy96]

---

The first ever CPU heatsink to utilize vertical vapor chamber cooling and combine it with heat pipe technology, TPC 812 is prepared to handle the massive heat generated by overclocking and benchmarking. Vertical vapor chamber working in tandem with heat pipes and a specialized heatsink and fin design allow the TPC 812 to outperform the competition.


Features:
1. The TPC 812 uses 2 separate cooling technologies to transfer heat – heat pipes and vertical vapor chambers.
2. Ready for overclocking, benchmarking and silent cooling.
3. The first-ever CPU heatsink to use vertical vapor chamber technology.
4. 100% pure polished copper base – combined with improved soldering technologies for the best thermal transfer.
5. Special fin design – heatsink receives concentrated cold airflow.
6. Improved air pressure design and fan mounting system.

The newest CPU cooler from the traditional manufacturer, Cooler Master, is the TPC 812, which has a tower heatsink with a 120 mm fan, six U-shaped heatpipes, and two vapor chambers. Let’s see if it really offers the “True Performance Cooling” that its name suggests.

The vapor chamber is a heat-transfer device where a phase-changing compound flows. This compound receives heat on one end, becoming vapor. It flows along the chamber and, when it reaches the “cold side,” it condenses again to the liquid state, releasing the heat previously absorbed. For all practical purposes, it is actually a “flat heatpipe.”

Unlike most Cooler Master products, the box of the TPC 812 uses black and bordeaux tones.

What are Vapor Chambers?

Vapor Chambers provide far superior thermal performance than traditional solid metal Heat spreaders at reduced weight and height. Thermal spread resistance is almost neglectable and thermal resistance is x times lower than (refer to copper, carbon nanotube compound, nano diamond compound). Vapor Chambers enable higher component heat densities and TDPs at safe operating temperatures, extending the components and products life.


How do Vapor Chambers work?

As the coolant molecules are heated they change phases. The vaporized coolant convects freely through the chamber. The Molecules then condense on cold surfaces, dissipate their heat load, and are channeled back to the coolant reservoir. Since the rate of condensation depends on the temperature delta of the coolant and the contact surface, the coolant automatically streams towards the coolest surface area. This self-organizing active molecular coolant stream within the Vapor Chamber is responsible for its superior thermal properties. As a result it provides stable and evenly spread temperatures on all of its surfaces, regardless of the location and density of the heat source below the chamber base.

Coming late July will be V8GT-VC-X, the upcoming flagship air cooler. It will have a square vapor chamber in the base of the cooler, made of nickel-plated copper, along with eight heatpipes. Expect dual 140 mm fans with LEDs with fins made of aluminum alloy.
