Computer Enthusiasts have long relied on liquid cooling systems to enhance CPU performance, reduce noise and lower internal chassis temperatures. However, achieving these benefits is often painful with uncertain results. Asetek designed a solution from a clean sheet of paper solely for the computer industry as opposed to adapting automotive or other industry technology.

• Design: three traditionally separate components are integrated into a single pump assembly. This eliminates the need for separate pumps, cold plates, and reservoirs. The integrated pump assembly is lighter and more compact than stock thermal solutions and mounts to both Intel’s and AMD’s current CPU sockets. Thousands of engineering hours and millions of dollars have been targeted to achieve a single goal – a reliable, high performance thermal solution that is cost effective.

• Reliable: Integration enables fewer system connections which lowers the potential points for leakage. The unique system design operates at low pressure further improving reliability. Each unit is individually helium leak tested to assure the integrity of each unit. The result is that Asetek’s technology will operate over 50,000 hours without any maintenance.

• No maintenance: Special material properties are used in the construction of the system. This enables very low permeability, the escape of liquid molecules through the material walls. For example, more costly specialized hoses are used instead of hoses made from lower cost, more common materials. It is this careful attention to detail that enables the unit to be factory filled and sealed for life. Traditional solutions typically have a large separate reservoir that requires periodic refilling to replenish the liquid that permeates through the hoses. Since other systems are not sealed, they also sometimes suffer from clogging due to the growth of algae, mildew or other contaminant entering the cooling fluid. Asetek’s sealed system together with the use of specially formulated, non-toxic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and corrosion inhibiting cooling liquid together eliminates these types of concerns.

The resulting liquid cooler design is as simple to install as an ordinary heat sink and chassis fan. Best of all, Asetek technology provides lower system noise while out performing best in class air coolers.
