The Card

The card features the typical Vapor-X heatsink. Differently from the reference version, the PCB isn’t entirely covered by a surface directly in contact with GPU and memories, there’s plenty of empty space in this solution. The dual-slot design remains, however, and it’s essential in order to help keep the temperatures during more stressing working sessions.

Looking at the card from the sides, it’s easy to notice how the heatsink base is directly in contact only with the GPU, and not with the memories: differently from the reference model, the heatsink is smaller on the Vapor-X series. The possibility of using the vapor chamber technology from Sapphire in all Vapor-X cards allows for a more efficient cooling system.
