Up for review today I’ve got something unique to help you keep your CPU Cool even under overclocking conditions. Water cooling can be a hassle if you do it yourself, but in the end it’s well worth as we all know liquid is better than air. Thermaltake recently announced the Water2.0 LCS or Liquid Cooling System and they released three versions, one of which I have today the Pro version. This little LCS is fairly simple to install and it offers excellent performance for a fairly low price.
The WATER2.0 Pro is a sealed liquid cooling system from Thermaltake. It is a preassembled set of block, pump, hoses, and radiator, where the coolant liquid comes inside the sealed system. Let's test its performance.
Technic3D hat das Thermaltake Bigwater 760 Plus Wasserkühlungs-Set im Test. Ausgestattet mit einem vollen Lieferumfang zur CPU-Kühlung und einigen Verbesserungen, will Thermaltake im Kühlungsbereich Boden gutmachen. Wie sich das Komplettset in der Praxis zeigt und ob die Leistung stimmig ist, steht im folgenden Artikel.
Testing CPU Coolers may not really be a hard thing to do but as many of you know it does take time to remove the old one, clean old thermal paste remains, place new on the CPU and install the cooler you want to test. Because of that i always like to have as many CPU Coolers as possible for testing so i can avoid having to go through the same lengthy procedure every few days. Yesterday i uploaded a review about the best CPU Air Cooler currently, the Silver Arrow Extreme by Thermalright and as you can imagine it was one out of many units lined up for testing. Usually i don't really like to upload two reviews about the same hardware type one after the other but since i consider this review as a bit special a made an exception. So today we will be covering one of the latest liquid CPU Coolers by Thermaltake, the BigWater 760 Plus.
Congratulations, you have made it to the final year of this world, or as typical, normal people would call, 2012. Now, assuming you are not some death-craving Mayan preparing for the end of the world, here at APH Networks, we have a review for you on liquid cooling. To be more specific, the Thermaltake Bigwater 760 Plus CPU cooler. I always find it interesting how many people find liquid cooling something for hardcore enthusiasts. This isn't completely true. While back in the late 90's it would be a true statement, today, many high-end gaming rigs come with liquid cooling, and you can even buy chassis with built-in systems as well. Not to mention there are many products out there you can easily get your hands on to instantly put in liquid cooling. However, one of the major hurdles for consumers to adopt liquid cooling amass is the fear of leaks and other unknowns. Fortunately, those who have played with any liquid cooling know that leaks are very rare when done properly, and you can always test to make sure it will not go wrong before installing it. The advantages of liquid cooling are quite large, but for your average all-in-one liquid cooling solutions, the best benefit you can get is removing that large aftermarket air cooler from your computer, and replacing it with something easier to fit. Now, I'm not here to give lectures on the benefits of liquid cooling, so let's take a look at the Bigwater 760 Plus CPU cooler.
Aside from a few flaws the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme is one hell of a self-contained water cooler. It offers all the performance equal to AiO coolers with larger 280mm radiators, but it has the ability to fit into any chassis that can accommodate dual 120mm fans in one area. The cooler can also be found for as low as $59.99 right now after mail-in-rebates, making it an absolute steal.
Thermaltake is not a new comer to the water-cooling market. Unlike the majority other companies currently that are selling All-in-one (AiO) water-coolers. Thermaltake has had their Bigwater water cooler on the market for some time, and they still do. However, they have also moved into the AiO market, and produced their own coolers, the Water 2.0 series.
Here is a word that we are almost inundated with these days. It seems that everyone is so desperate to prove themselves unique they grasp at, and identify with, terms such as this. In the end, it just makes all such products blend together into a group identified with overly emphasized phrases and words. And so it is with utter disdain for this products name that we present to you a 240mm closed loop liquid cooler brought to us by Thermaltake (Tt), the Water 2.0 Extreme. Read on to see if this “Extreme” truly is “of a character or kind farthest removed from the ordinary or average” or just an average cooling product to be avoided.
Thermaltake are relative newcomers to the all in one liquid CPU cooler market, but like many other companies they have jumped straight onto the Asetek bandwagon to help get themselves established in this competitive market. The product we have here today, the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme, is Thermaltake’s top-of-the-line water cooling loop. It features a 240mm radiator that is 38mm thick versus the standard 27mm thick we normally see on 240mm-rad AIO loops. A thicker radiator in theory means better cooling performance – although the pump, tubing and fans all have to be able to take advantage of this extra potential.
It seems that more of you join the liquid CPU Cooler ranks every day that goes by and since quite a few of you have asked for such reviews i've decided to focus on that segment of the market and try to get pretty much every LGA2011 compatible liquid CPU Cooler available currently. So just over a month ago we started by reviewing the Thermaltake BigWater 760 Plus liquid CPU Cooler which although quite impressive didn't manage to deliver the performance we were expecting from it. Three days ago we continued by testing one of the best cost-effective liquid CPU Coolers, the Antec KUHLER H2O 920 which especially when used with both its fans facing inwards delivers an great punch together with a near excellent price/performance ratio. Today however we are going to give Thermaltake another chance by being the first to test their latest Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme liquid CPU Cooler which just by taking a quick look at its specifications seems to be the most powerful cost-effective liquid CPU Cooler currently in the market.
