Corsair H70 picture - Released tomorrow? (updated)

[jalyst]

I think I would rather get a Asetek 570LX (see pic below)



I thought Corsair would of offered a 240 mm radiator as a option by now.

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?

[jalyst]

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

[jalyst]

Does no-one know?
An agent is in the midst of finding-out for me....
But if anyone knows the answer to these Qns in the interim.

Thank-you.

Since the thread is about the (Corsair H70 picture - Released tomorrow?) and your asking about another product, how about to open your own thread and ask the question

[jalyst]

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 ?

[Leeghoofd]

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...

Anyone knows a reseller in Europe for Asetek watercooling kits?

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.

[SamHughe]

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.

[blade148]

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.
