Ultimately up to you, but the possibility is a risk people knowingly buy into with liquid coolers... or at least, I hope people knowingly buy into.Recently I thought about it and was worried that it could leak or something. Should I keep using it or take it out?
It is not Asetek. Asetek's cold plate/pump housing is round and the mounting hardware is universal between the 7(?) generations now.From what I've heard online, it seems likely that its asetek, but no confirmation for sure
Hmm okay. See, I've had this aio installed in my system for about half a year now. I got it off a newegg sale for $15 somehow, and I used it without a second thought since then. Recently I thought about it and was worried that it could leak or something. Should I keep using it or take it out?No.
Can't seem to find the OEM... it MIGHT be an in-house design.
This is the telltale Asetek look:

Hm interesting. I might just resell it for 5 more dollars than I bought it for, which is $20 dollars, so I can buy myself a nice sushi dinner. I could always just use the stock cooler lolUltimately up to you, but the possibility is a risk people knowingly buy into with liquid coolers... or at least, I hope people knowingly buy into.
The odds of such an incident happening out from the factory is much lower than ones caused by users.

I'm pretty sure if I were to take this Auraflow X-240 and try to mount it with the Kraken G12, which is only compatible with Asetek-made units, it would not fit.
Hmm interesting. For anyone else looking at this thread, heres what the auraflow looks like
Ty! Do you have a clear pic of the DC AIO plate? I see you have an ID Cooling aio too, how has your experience been so far?They're carbon copy of Deepcool AIOs. Not sure which OEM DC used, but I see a lot of budget brands AIO around with that rectangular block.

Did some more research. Mounting is the same as an H105, it may be customized with a custom coldplateDeepcool Gamerstorm Captain 360:

Though this was from 2017...
States that they use in-house designs.
"Hi there. I would like to know, are there any Asetek OEM components in your recent coolers? asking just to know... Thanks!"
"Hi there, no. we made ourselves."
Pump in block doesn't automatically = Asetek.This one's also in-house, but by Cooler Master. From one of their Seidons.
Steve kept comparing it to Asetek, but he doesn't explicitly say that's the OEM though.
The round plate and housing with gear 'teeth' is still Asetek's... 'image'? [I don't think that was the right word though...]
