You can find our previous coverage of the internal pump differences in Asetek generations here.

The newer Hi Pro uses the Asetek Gen6 pump. The Hi, the original, is an older Asetek design. DeepCool would be an example, which uses a three-chamber, very complicated approach to its pump manufacturing. Asetek, it seems, has a patent on the pump-in-block design approach, and has had judges rule in its favor.

That sounds very nice what you want to pull off.Asetek has a stranglehold on most of the closed-loop liquid cooler market for PC hardware, easily holding majority placement in all CLCs sold in the US.īoth Asetek and CoolIT make the Corsair liquid coolers, though the latter fell out of popularity for a number of years. Let me know about the clearances if you have them handy…. Also, there are mounts on the actual block so I can add a fan using some sort of fabricated bracket - pushing cool air around the MB. I have a Dan A4 V1 I got on release and currently have a delidded k in it. Thank you! I actually came across your video a few weeks ago on YouTube. Hope we will see more products like this in the future. In our tests today, it proved itself as an overall good performer in noise output and decent to good temperature numbers, even when used with such a powerful CPU, in such a strict and limited environment. Currently it is the only standard format 92 mm AIO out there. A few years ago, a system this small built with of the shelves parts, then not to mention that it could ever be this powerful and cool and silent, was a pipe dream. I mean if you saw my build video, I had to bend them at 90 degrees in some areas. Sturdy tubes but really good when it comes bending scenarios. The actual noise we recorded was mostly the fan we used as an exhaust.īuild quality wise, Asetek did a great job. Other than that, it is completely silent even though I kept the PC on the table with no side panel, at 20 cm from me. The pump only makes a splash sound when you first boot up the PC aka when it starts to move the liquid around. With a bit of tinkering I have a felling that we could have reached a higher OC value but not all chips are created equally. It managed to keep the x under control with no problems in stock form, and even with a mild OC at 4. So far I am impressed with the little AIO. And for the games we did a 20 min run for and used a title that is also CPU bound. And here is my installation process, the only difference is that I used the new narrow retention ring kit.Īs mentioned in the intro of this review, if you are interested in something like this, you will defiantly will use it in a very small PC build.

The included manual is very brief and straight to the point. Moving to the contact area, which measures approximately 5. Then the pump has a 3 pin power connector. There is not much available specs besides these, giving the fact that it is mostly an OEM product.Īgain, as mentioned before, given its OEM nature, this will come shipped in an ordinary brown box without any branding. Asetek is the global leader in liquid cooling solutions for data centers, servers and PCs.ĭesigned for smaller chassis, this cooler delivers mainstream performance with a 92mm intake or exhaust port. More specifications are available here but now lets move onto to the review.In the world of small form factor builds, limited choices are a normality.

Like most other Corsair Hydro Series products the Corsair H55 is manufactured by Asetek.

It also represents a maturation of the all-in-one liquid cooler concept that should give better performance with a smaller size compared to previous generation liquid coolers.Ĭorsair’s H55 features a 27mm-thick 120mm radiator, new and improved flexible rubber tubing, a single 120mm fan and an improved mounting system. Put in simpler terms the H55 is an improved version of the Corsair H50 so will bring the benefits of all-in-one liquid coolers but without the size or price premium of the H80i and H100i. The H55 is right at the lower end of the new Hydro series just above the H50 and H40 which are both very similar products. The Corsair Hydro series has been more or less entirely revamped in the past few months with new variants of all coolers that include either better tubing, better pumps, better fans or all of those improvements.

However, we are now going right to the other end of the Corsair Hydro series by taking a look at the new H55. We’ve already taken a look at Corsair’s superb H100i Hydro series CPU cooler.
