New Asetek Pumps Enhance CPU & GPU Performance with Liquid Temperature Fan Control
Asetek Inc., the world's leading supplier of liquid cooling technology for computers, today announced two new pump technologies that deliver optimized cooling and quieter computing. The new pumps use Liquid Temperature Fan Control technology to automatically adjust fan speeds at the radiator. This technology boosts cooling for significant CPU and GPU overclocking and keeps the computer quiet during less demanding tasks. The Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 liquid CPU cooler is the first product to feature Liquid Temperature Fan Control technology.
Asetek's new pump technologies give Do-It-Yourself PC hardware and gaming enthusiasts a choice between two liquid temperature fan control strategies:
ChillControl gives enthusiasts the ability to define their own speed curves or select between preset curves. It also provides monitoring of liquid temperatures, fan speed, pump speed, and sound level. A purely fun feature of ChillControl is the ability to change the color of the lighting in the pump cap to match your machine color or mood.
"Water has a thermal capacity 4000 times greater than air," said Steve Branton, Director of Marketing at Asetek. "Liquid Temperature Fan Control technology leverages the higher thermal capacity of Asetek's liquid coolers to effectively cool CPUs and GPUs across sharp spikes in load without spiking fan speed or noise. The technology gradually ramps fan speed to maintain temperatures during sustained loads delivering an optimized overclocking and quiet computing experience."

- Automatic liquid temperature fan control provides a "Plug and Play" user experience.
- Interactive liquid temperature fan control for those who like to tweak and monitor their hardware.

Thats nothing new, look at the Aquastream Xt.
Btw Asetek is normally shit compared to good aircooling
I understand it may be seen that these types of cooler have lower quality pumps than ones in custom loops but so far my H50's pump has been running a little over 10,000 hours solid an i would hope that is a sign the pump is of an acceptable quality.... unless it craps out right after i post this :laugh::laugh: come on its all asetek, the corsair branded ones are so easy to find but the asetek own brand ones are way harder, if asetek put the effort into marketing and availability that corsair has then asetek branded ones would be best sellers them self :p
Yes i know you are saying people buy things for the corsair name but i would hope that the majority of people here actually read in to the corsair products they buy such as who makes the product that corsair has either tweaked the spec or simply slapped it's name on.
From my point of view this things are rubbish....
They didnt perform aswell as some air coolers, yeah they are cheap but no way to cool a graphics card and so on.
If you have an Htpc wich needs this cooling then you did something wrong.... Really wrong....
I want a better CPU cooler for my HTPC but my choices are so limited due to space, a 120mm sealed loop would fit perfectly and beat every other cooler that would fit.
At least some features may be compatible with older coolers or all... idk I'm tired :laugh:
As Asetek states, the fans on the H50 and the H70 have had problems being controlled by the motherboard temperature sensor (=running max all the time), hence Asetek have developed an internal system that regulates itself: KÜHLER H2O 620 is the first example of this.
