Does anyone know if the Asetek 570LX is just a rebadged Asetek LCLC 240mm or are there real improvements?
If the former, it'd still be a better performer than the Asetek 570LC (very similar to the H70) right?

You do know, that Asetek manufactures the H70 and H50, corsair just slaps their logo on it, right?
Yes I do*, but that was not one of my questions.
Do you know how to answer them? Thank-you.
*although corsair is known to do further twks; at least in the case of the H50
I do have my own thread: 120-240mm AIO/sealed, low cost, WC systems
I'm just hoping some in this thread may have come across info. regarding these other models.
As they are also AIO/sealed LC loops....
May I ask the which is the correct orentation of the pump head on the chip.
I've seen pleantly of publicity shots where the corsair logo reads from left to right ( right being near the ram ) . BUT there are 2 flats cut from the copper mating surface on the head. meaning in this configuration you are not getting the best contact area. - has anyone noticed any difference ?
Thinking in any orientation the contact remains the same for the cores and the H70 not ? This solely regarding the contact with the IHS where the cores are located...
But some waterblocks perform better when at a 90°C angle... I'm recalling some people had better temps with the H50 at a 90°/180°c angle... wonder if the temp gain wasn't due to a better mount and not solely due to the orientation...
it may not be contact, but water flow direction. some cores might be a little warmer than others due to which get water first. i dont think there is any real worries, as far as i know the thing is flat, not bowed, which is the main reason some blocks like to be in a certain direction.
The direction doesn't matter (or did not matter in my case). But my system on a horizontal case so I might be wrong. Still enjoying it tremendously, seeing 68C max load temps (under directx 11 gaming) on my stock i7-920 with only one 600 RPM fan installed.
I thought the contact area was different depending where the head is. When I've taken off the head from the chip, I can see the inprint of the chip. some times it is over a screw, .. or ot completely on the head. - maybe It's just me.
