“If you’re wondering whether a low cost OEM cooling solution can be effective, wonder no more – it certainly can. The answer comes from Asetek, and you’ve probably already heard about its LCLC low cost liquid cooling system”. 

"This unique cooling solution is aimed at the needs of OEM companies, and the fact that HP opted for this when building Blackbird 002 speaks for itself. LCLC cooling is unique and effective, mainly because Asetek focused on two main components – CPU and GPU - and utilized the capabilities of their system to the max. This is not a new thing and we've already written about it. Today, we continue the story, or shall we say we are painting a happy ending to the earlier story."

"It’s been more than six months since we installed LCLC cooling in one of our test rigs. It became a standard player almost instantly. We changed a couple of motherboards and processors, but the cooling stayed. The good thing about this system is that it’s compatible with both AMD and Intel processors, so it makes all the configurations possible." 


Conclusion
"We’ve just seen what this baby can do, and it’s no wonder that HP chose LCLC for Blackbird 002 gaming computers. It’s simple and easy to mount. Asetek took care of everything and it ships pre-assembled with the Low Cost Liquid Cooling systems. It’s capable of cooling a single CPU, a CPU and a graphics card or two CPU’s."

"The only problem is that you can’t find it in retail stores or online. It’s aimed at OEM’s and ODMs that integrate it into their high-end gaming rigs, professional workstations and HTPC machines, but the manufacturer claims you can use it to cool consoles, SFF computers, projectors, projection TV’s, lamps and many other devices."

"We would definitely recommend this product to anyone, because it performs in a way that could put many cooling solutions to shame. We would even say it’s a must have, but since you can’t buy it in retail, we only hope that the company executives at Asetek will change their minds and start distributing it soon to retailers."
