VLLC (Vapor and Liquid Loop Cooling) 

Technology mounted in the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S to strongly cool the CPU in 

order to achieve high CPU core performance 

Used in addition to hybrid cooling with LLC, evaporative cooling takes heat away when 

liquid changes into vapor. 

VLLC can exhibit the maximum cooling capacity as a liquid-cooled module that forcibly 

circulates refrigerant with a driving force, rather than using surface tension, natural 

convection, or gravity to circulate refrigerant.
