New Asetek Liquid CPU Coolers Support PCs with 92 mm Fans

Asetek Inc., the world's leading supplier of liquid cooling solutions for computers, today announced three new liquid CPU coolers for OEMs and system builders, designed for chassis utilizing 92mm exhaust fans. The products include: a single exhaust port, single-CPU cooler; a dual exhaust port, single-CPU cooler; and a dual exhaust port, dual-CPU cooler. These new Asetek products provide superior overclocking for compact gaming systems, and ultra-quiet computing and improved productivity for 3U servers and mainstream workstations.

"Our OEM and System Building partners are telling us space saving design is increasingly important in commercial applications as businesses seek to increase productivity without adding real estate," said Steve Branton, Director of Marketing at Asetek. "Consumers, particularly outside North America, also appreciate compact design. Asetek's new 92mm liquid CPU coolers enable companies such as BOXX Technologies to help their customers achieve these goals."
"BOXX has built a reputation for designing and manufacturing high performance workstations that run cool and quiet in creative environments," said Shoaib Mohammad, Director of Marketing and Business Development at BOXX Technologies. "The integration of Asetek liquid CPU coolers into our line of performance-enhanced XTREME solutions has enabled us to continue our commitment of providing digital professionals with the ultimate in record-setting performance in systems that remain reliable, stable, and quiet."
  • The Asetek 545LC is a single exhaust port, single-CPU cooler that supports high performance gaming PCs and workstations, utilizing chassis with 92mm fans. The 545LC enables significant factory overclocking in gaming PCs or whisper-quiet workstation performance within these compact, powerhouse chassis.
  • The Asetek 565LX is a dual exhaust port, single-CPU cooler that supports the 3U server and workstation markets. The 565LX delivers a performance boost to systems designed to run CPU intensive software including powerful engineering, animation, video and audio editing applications, while maintaining ultra-quiet operation.
  • The Asetek 585LX is a dual exhaust port, dual-CPU cooler that supports the dual processor 3U server and workstation markets. The 585LX delivers a performance boost to dual CPU systems designed to run CPU intensive software including powerful engineering, animation, video and audio editing applications, while maintaining whisper-quiet operation.
All Asetek liquid CPU coolers are fully assembled, factory filled and sealed, making them as easy to install in mass production environments as an air cooler and chassis fan. Asetek standard liquid CPU coolers are available with mounting systems that are compatible with today's popular Intel and AMD processors. Factory sealing eliminates any end user maintenance, commonly required with component-built liquid cooling systems.

The 565LX and 585LX are available immediately to System Builders, Integrators and OEM customers. Scheduled availability for the 545LC is mid-December.

I'm assuming that's the old version using the pump/block design like the H50, asetek makes a bunch of these things in all different shapes and size's but most of us will only see the re-branded corsair ones.

To be honest i would love to see how the dual versions do, it would be awesome if corsair could start selling one the thickness of the H70 as I'm sure it would do great with 4 quiet fans in push/pull.... would cost too much though :laugh:

I guess i should stop being lazy and just shell out for a custom loop once i upgrade.
hayder.masterone word : crappy
:roll: i love how everyone is instantly complaining and saying it sucks just because it does not suit their needs when its not for us anyway, its for OEM's and system builders as it says in the article.

My point is, not all cases have room for a 120mm exhaust fan. The purpose of a cooler like this isn't to be put in gigantic cases like the 800D or HAF X, it's for generic OEM builds that want to keep a small form factor while providing decent cooling. Another market this cooler would be popular in is the Korean market. They value a compact and compressed rig over a monstrosity with 12 120mm fans.

LAN_deRf_HAI still don't get it. Even mini ATX cases have front and back 120mm fans. These BOXX cases must suck. Hell, lian li has a mini-itx with a 140mm fan and a 120.
Precisely. As we should all know: the bigger the fan, the less whiny it is. All the big and smart companies are moving to 120/140mm fans because they are so much quieter. If BOXX wants to live in the past then they can stay there. Just stop making Asetek have to work around you.

Smaller cases and computers from OEM's are the past? i thought that was supposed to be the future as in making them smaller and smaller :p

I don't think that picture quite illustrates your point. That case appears to have a 120mm rad on the front, with either 80 or 92mm fans on the back. And I don't think anyone will argue a mini-itx is large yet they figured out how to fit those fans in. Just seems that rather than bending over backwards and ordering custom water coolers they could just engineer a better case.... or produce less absurd products. I mean I can't imagine those cards being supplied sufficient airflow, especially if that rad's heat is being dumped into the case.

I agree on the airflow for the cards in that model, having 4 together would mean a couple intake fans on the front are basically a must but when the intake is just dumping all the cpu's heat right at them then its kind of a fail design.

I Saw one of these in a High end HP Workstation a few days ago (only difference I can see is that it had a HP logo on it)

Not sure if it was any good since the computer was DOA

It should be possible to use a extender from 120mm to 92mm. It is still possible to use your fancy 120mm fan but with a airduct!

LAN_deRf_HAWho has a 92mm fan hole on the back of their case? How are we supposed to mount this?
Ha! I have one -- I use a very small case that cost next to nothing. This would be perfect for it. :laugh:

It's called the Eee PC. Does that have water cooling?

If people want a small computer then they can buy a small computer. Water cooling isn't needed in these tiny little 92mm cheapskate OEM cases because the CPU will always be a low end AMD Athlon X2 or a Pentium Dual Core.

I have actually ran Prime95 on a Celeron 420 with no heatsink on. It went for like 5 minutes before getting to 70C+. Computers don't get hot like people think, just the super high end ones, and why would you want a small case for that? It would be like putting a V8 in a VW Golf. Absolutely pointless. You have a powerful computer, so brag about it with a big case.

Also by V8, I don't mean a nice tidy and small efficient German one, I mean a massive 6.2L American one.

Some very good points, really most small oem computers and when i say small i mean tiny don't even have space for a single 80mm rad never mind anything to cool a high end cpu and thus why they use ultra low power cpu's.

It's just that having both 120mm and 92mm as options gives more choices to oem's, asetek also makes 80mm radiators as well, i don't know if they sell coolers that use it but surly you would agree multiple sizes of the same product is a good thing due to company's being able to create more varied products to suit more needs.

One thought that occurred to me is use in a htpc although many would not have room and i must admit i intend to put an asetek cooler in my htpc when i upgrade my gaming rigs cooler... the thing is that just means i will be putting my H50 into the htpc as it has a space for a 120mm fan :laugh:

I'm not saying these things are great products or anything, I'm just trying to say they have their place in the world even if its a very small and different one to most other coolers :laugh:

I agree in an HTPC you want something nice and quiet so water cooling is smart, but really HTPCs only have to decode video (that's the GPUs task these days), and sometimes encode TV. That's not a big workload and I doubt they would get super hot doing that. It's not like you're going to shove a 980X in an HTPC, you'll put in a smaller Athlon X2 or a Celeron or Core i3 or something. Water cooling is excessive for those tasks. Pop some passive cooling on there and just use the case fan is my idea.

There's also a market for smaller yet powerful PC's. The target still seems a bit limited with most cases going with 120 mm rear exhausts, even HTPC chassis. This would of actually worked well with the NZXT Vulcan I just got rid of.

I have been using an old athlon x2 in my htpc but once i got the satellite tuner card it proved to be a little under powered when it came to HD video, more so when it comes to recording it.

So i tried my old phenom 9850 at 2.8ghz and it was much better but was getting too hot with the stock hsf so i had to take it back out and due to the case I'm using there is very few suitable options for a better cooler thus why for now I'm leaving the athlon in there until i get a new cooler for my gaming rig then the htpc will get the H50 as its a perfect fit.

If it was not for my lazy ways the front of the case could easily be modded to take the dual 92mm model but I'm lazy and cheap so the htpc pretty much only gets old parts and next to no effort :laugh:

These are great for HTPC cases that don't fit large, quiet coolers. I don't use accelerated video playback, because a huge portion of my media is not DXVA compliant, so I would need a little more oomph than the entry level cpus, and therefore have more heat. These would work well in a case like that.

Then there is the rack mounted server market.

These have their place. Just because they have no place in an enthusiast setup, does not make them a pointless product. They wouldn't sell them if there was no market for them.
