Wonder how this will play out and if Asetek will separately try and sue AMD. Wouldn't be surprised if they tried.

Asetek could even be a tad sour about AMD dumping them for CM.

Think Asetek is sour in general.. they sue everybody they can

if a jury already found its not the same. i find it hard to understand why asetek's legal department would wast the energy with the cease and desist. i cant fathom why they would go to any lengths at all. also how does it affect the 980ti's that have similar/same aios

 

[Kushiro]

The 980tis in general use Corsair AIO units and therefore Aseteks in the loop.

I'm glad I called that one right lol.

I think Asetek is just using a shot gun approach trying to get as much money as they can.

 

[Feronix]

Tricky situation though, I understand everyone's displease with Asetek telling AMD to stop selling the Fury X as AMD as a GPU company have very little to do with how the closed AIOs are made and this will greatly affect them as a company.

On the other hand I understand Asetek as well. How would you feel if another company used your patented way of making something to copy your products and then sell it for cheaper so they get all the sales?

Astetek were probably asked for a quote and lost to Cooler Master.

AMD have used Asetek for many years, most notably as bundle in coolers with their 8 core Bulldozers and Piledrivers.

So yeah, I can see why Asetek are peeved.
