[prznar1]

Hi there.
i'm curious. when you will start selling this stuff?
it's hard to get it in USA as an Asetek, in UE it's ungetable.
this could be that holy gral for better then air cooling solution.

I am not clear on what future water cooling products may have but I cannot comment on unreleased products anyway. Please watch this page for new product announcements.

Hi Yellowbeard, I thought Corsair was now in a partnership with CooliT Systems and not Asetek?

I know coolit released their own 240 mm sealed coolers about a year ago but it seems they never really were embraced by the public.

I'm thinking it'll just be a rebranded version of this:

Here are some reviews:

It seems to do an OK but not spectacular job - I was looking for a head-to-head comparison with the H50/H60 or H70, but unfortunately I couldn't find one.

What's interesting is that the Coolit C240 is more expensive than the pre-order price for the Corsair H100 over here.

I heard a $119 price tags, that's insane right

Ive had the Coolit 240 for quite some time now and honestly I love it. I would not choose the Asetek over the coolit/corsair options based on how poor asetek's mounting bracket is.

Coolit's is still better than corsair IMO but its still solid compared to the bop-it/twist-it retardation that is the asetek version. Not sure what I could use for comparison but I have a 1090T @ 1.46v @ 4ghz and idling at 15c* with load at 29C*; room temp is 75F.

So far been really impressed with it. Yes it was $120 and yes it took weeks to have it shipped from canada but Ive had it 8 months now; still solid as a rock and still no leaks.

At that price the only folks buying it would be those who insist on a self contained cooling unit possibly due to the fear or lack of knowledge to assemble a full water cooling loop.

This unit has to give far better cooling results just due to the better flow rate it would have... http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11...l=g30c321s1310 and it is about the same price.

I'm curious, what do you mean by CoolIT's is still better than Corsair?

Do you have an actual date when we should see these on the store shelves here in canada and what the MSRP will be.

The Corsair website only gives a date of June.

I would love to do a user review comparing it with the Domino ALC which I have used and comparing it to the H50 with a push pull setup which I currently run with a i7 920 clocked at 4.0 GHz

[Yellowbeard]

I'm sorry no, I have none of the information you are asking about. The info from the website is the only information available.

[4hams]

Thanks for the quick reply anyways!

Sure:

For me personally I buy cases that tend to be small because I dont like lugging them around, so I tend to have very tight socket areas, especially when you consider that I normally run one of your RAM coolers immediately beside the socket.


The mounting bracket on the coolit is one solid piece which makes it easier for me to pull apart and remount if needed. When it has smaller pieces like this:



If I happen to fat finger the mount or one of the bolts come loose, it drops into the abyss of my case making it almost impossible to find. So then I have to pull it apart, find the screw, and put it back together again. Plus when im tightening the bolts down the ones on the socket top often jam and when I go to remove it from the CPU socket it comes loose forcing me to put it back together again from scratch like the Apogee I had way back when. In addition unlike the corsair and asetek they have a very very heavy gauge spring in the retention column for extra pressure.


That bracket does not have a spring on it for additional pressure best I can tell. I dont know exactaly what coolit uses the the column of the mounting hole has a very very heavy gauge spring in it and is lock tight. Normally I have an issue with thermal paste and never getting a mount right and this is honest to god the first time ive been happy with a cooler mount on the first try.

Plus with me being clumsy I can finger tighten the bolts and when i get it down I can use a screw driver without fear of it slipping cuz the mounting bracket itself has a plastic lip on the head of the screw that keeps me from slipping. Plus yours is a flathead and theirs is a philips head. I have TERRIBLE luck tightening down anything with a flathead:



^^ that picture right there is a great example of what im talking about. How in the world with my fat fingers could I screw down the mounting bracket with the socket being that tight inside of a case at an backward angle. Plus if i slip with a flathead im libel to take out something very important.

Love what you guys are doing tho with water cooling pre-filled. I strongly think that if you guys hadn't gotten into the game they would be obscure as they were 3 years ago but I still gotta tip my hat to coolit because I do like their brackets (for now) better than the Corsair ones. I hear from the press releases that you guys are working with them; have em send you a sample or check it out in person; there's a lot of subtle things that I like about it thats difficult to put into words unless you've actually used/seen one before.

CoolIT builds our H60, H80, and H100. So, that was why I asked what you meant by "better". Also, CoolIT is no longer a retailer. They have migrated to OEM.

Ya what I meant by better is that their Eco mounting brackets are by far the best Ive ever seen and infinitely better (sadly) than your current ones and asetek's

[thebad]

All the new Corsair units are actually Coolit units. Asetek has moved their retail channel to Antec.

Although I completely agree with your assessment of the mounting mechanism, my own tests still showed that Asetek units perform better especially the latest version sold by Antec. My 620 trounced the H50 and the coolit Eco by 6-7C and it looks like the key was the change in the pump and the waterblock. The H60 seems a tiny bit better but still can't touch the equivalent Antec 620 or the Corsair H70 also built by Asetek. These latter two perform about the same with the same fans in spite of the difference in the radiator size! I hope coolit comes up with something better. The Antec 920 has no competitor performance-wise and feature-wise. Asetek even delivered in the Antec 920 what Coolit promised with their aborted Maestro feature on the control side.

H100 and H80 ETA is around 10 july here, and I have one preordered for my new build.
