Story behind Coolit?

[rickss69]

What exactly happened to Coolit anyway? They offered some great products which I still use today. I've heard stories of Coolit being sued and Corsair somehow picking them up...just curious.

[TeeBlack]

didnt they get sued by Asetek?

That's one of the stories I hear. I still don't know what developed between Coolit and Corsair.

[Doctor_Death]

No, CoolIt is still very much alive, they chose to do custom cooling for other company's building custom systems. plus they still supply cooling for the Armed Services as well servers

I found their new site...appears they no longer make products like the Vantage coolers and such. So, Corsair has no dealings with them now?

[Doctor_Death]

They still work with Corsair, in fact they made the new H80i and H100i which means they most likely designed the new H110 & H90

[Doctor_Death]

I'm also still using their older Boreas Chillers, I have two of them that I modded.

The H90 and H110 look like Asetek coolers. same similar round pump and same exact mounting kit as all the Asetek units

[Doctor_Death]

Your wrong, mounting is completely different, and the pump housing is not round on the Corsair coolers, remember I have Asetek and the new Corsair coolers sitting here.

[rickss69]

Yeah, here is the old Coolit Vantage that I use....

[TeeBlack]

Stan this the mounting kit that Corsair shows on their site for the H90 and H110. i have the same exact mounting kit for both my Asetek coolers and the same looking pump.


Also the Antec Kuhler, Thermaltake Water 2.0 coolers, and Nzxt Kraken coolers also use this mounting kit and we all know those are Asetek coolers

[rickss69]

Oh my...Coolit's original design was much better. Why the changes? Coolit's Vantage came with a much simpler mounting system that worked great and fit everything.

[MattyMatt]

Yeah its too bad really, they made some awesome stuff and I remember they had some GPU units they were working on. Oh well.

Yeah, I have a brand new one in a box for a 5870.

[Doctor_Death]

Rick, this is why I stayed with the Boreas Chillers, at least you can upgrade them when needed. As far as GPU coolers, I believe they still make them, just not for the general public.

Rick,
I am new to the forum I was unaware of coolit's gpu cooling products you haven't got any info or pics have you. One of my machines is still running a watercooled 5870 .
