Arctic Liquid Freezer II series looks ... interesting
Arctic launches its new Liquid Freezer II series of AIO water coolers. Designed for high performance, the second generation Liquid Freezer includes four product versions: Liquid Freezer II 120, Liquid Freezer II 240, Liquid Freezer II 360, and Liquid Freezer II 280.
For the Liquid Freezer II series, ARCTIC has incorporated an in-house developed PWM-controlled pump with a copper bottom plate. At low loads, the pump reduces rotational speed, thereby lowering power consumption. The 40mm fan on the pump provides consistent cooling for the motherboard voltage converter, while the sealed water circuit is maintenance-free.
Thanks to its flat design and compact pump, the Liquid Freezer II fits into many cases and offers optimal RAM compatibility, even for modules with larger heatsinks. Each Liquid Freezer II model is compatible with all common AMD and Intel sockets. All versions of the Liquid Freezer II use tried and tested, pressure-optimized ARCTIC P fans, which are characterized by their durability.
The new Liquid Freezer II coolers have been tailored to suit the needs of gamers and other demanding users. Compared to the predecessor series, they achieve even greater cooling performance and promise to offer consistent and quiet cooling even when overclocking.

This is how the manufacturers have to "adapt" to get around that Patent.
Is it Asetek's patent for Pump-in-waterblock thats holding all these back ?
I can't remember the company....
How is it holding them back when almost everyone making AIO puts pump in water block? It's a genuine question.

They have to Pay Asetek for the use of that patent.
If they don't want to pay, and try and get around it, they have to make it so it can't be caught up in the patent, so it has to be physically different.
One of the other manufacturers has a little tube going from the block to the pump, even though they are next to each other, because that is enough to not be caught by the patent.
It could be that Asetek is demanding huge amounts of cash, I don't know...
