High-end graphics card use more power, which means they get hotter quicker. With the innovative Vapor-X, we were the very first to apply aerospace-industry vapor chamber technology to graphics cards. It's a pioneering way to accelerate heat away from the graphics chips into the rest of the cooling system.

Description

Sapphire Vapor-X technology is used in conjunction with a heatpipe and fan assembly. The vapor chamber accelerates the heat away from the graphics chips into the rest of the cooling system. How? Inside the vapor chamber, a liquid coolant is vaporized at the hot surface. The resulting vapor moves across the chamber where it condenses at a cooled surface. Then the liquid is returned to the hot surface to aid in superior cooling.
