Asetek resurrects WaterChill line for extreme liquid-cooling of latest CPUs, graphics cards

Asetek has lately pushed its component-cooling prowess towards retail partnerships with companies like Antec and Corsair, along with providing the liquid-cooling solutions for gaming PC makers, including Asus and Dell Alienware. But the company has just announced that it will be bringing its WaterChill family of products back to the marketplace.

Apparently, Asetek has decided to keep the best goods for itself, as it promises that the new WaterChill lineup will include its "best-ever, ultra-extreme liquid CPU cooler." The WaterChill 2011C features a huge radiator (240mm by 120mm), four 120mm fans, and an updated version of its ChillControl monitoring software.

The company's new GPU cooler (pictured above; unnamed as of this writing) is designed to handle the heat of Nvidia's latest GeForce GTX 580 card, offering a 25-percent boost to overclocking, according to Asetek. It includes a 120mm radiator and will be offered with a graphics card partner, which can integrate a pump, fan, and coldplate with its board(s).

Pricing for these initial WaterChill products has not been announced, but Asetek promises that they will be available for purchase in the second quarter directly through the company's Web site. Expect them to cost a cold bit of cash.
