does anyone know a review of this which stacks it up against some decent heatsinks like the tuniq or AC freezer or anything?
i googled it but all the reviews are like this one which pit it against a stock amd heatsink, and some crappy koolance & aquagate water cooling... for some reason.
from that link:
none of what i could find actualy compare aftermarket heatsink to aftermarket heatsink. the VCmicro website touts all sorts of revoloutionary design innovations, which resemble a standard heatpipe eventhough they assure you over and over its not a heatpipe, no- its a micro phase system.
this isnt a phase cooler, theres no compressor, theres no sub-ambient temps, its a heatpipe. it has all the properties of a heatpipe. it even smells like a heatpipe (if heatpipes had a smell). they claim its a cooling revoloution yet ive never seen anyone around use one. ive heard people call it crap i just wanted some numbers to go with that call.
im not looking to buy one, i already know its crappy from looking at it and my water system can kick its ass, but has anyone ever actualy used one or read an unbiased review? i just wanted to know how they justify the rediculous amount of hype on that site.
and mostly im bored at work.

then why wasnt it tested against an XP120 and/or XP90C? or any air cooled soloution for that matter. it beats an aquagate mini by 5 degrees? wow that means.... absoloutely nothing! comparing apples to ice cream.
