Just wanted to put an update out there, from my posts on the last forum page, re-pasted my Asetek 545LC paried with a AMD R7 2700x and I am very happy with the temps vs noise (Gelid GC Extreme, all I had on hand). Dropped my temps!
When I pulled the Astetek off I discovered that the stock, as...
Yeah, I have been wondering myself if the Asetek with a slim fan vs the C7 Cu are basically the same. I saw that the Asetek is listed as a 150W TDP cooler, but with a slim fan it may be more like a 100-120W TDP cooler which is basically a C7 Cu. Don't know until you try it out though.
I don't have the C7 Cu on the r7 2700x at the moment, just an out of box Asetek, finishing some custom length cables and then I will go back and try it with the other cooler again.

dondan Thank you for such a prompt response! I will try your suggestion with the cooler.
I will update with some additional comments later on when I "feel" the Asetek is operating correctly, or has been replaced if necessary, and have time to mess with voltages/clocks for fun (I plan on running...

I would be very curious to know what your temps are with your R7 2700x, I ended up with a Asetek 545LC on mine, today actually (stock paste, soon to be re-pasted). I am hovering around 40C at idle if I keep it quite, sub 40 if I run the pump and fan higher.
I previously had the...
Hey everyone,
I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not the Asetek 545LC could keep a AMD R7 2700X CPU with a TDP of 105 watts adequately cooled. I looked at the Google sheet posted several pages back and it seems like it might be marginal.
V1/V2 A4 buyer, keep it as close to, or under 10L, but no bigger, as you will have competition.
I actually liked C4-H2O name, although C4-SFX may be more inline with the marketing side of things.
Where is the buy now button.....
