Thermaltake Water 3.0 Pro LGA 1150/2011/1366/FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2 120mm Fan Liquid Cooler

Comment:
I have this as well as an older Water 2.0 Performer (thinner radiator) they function similarly if not equal to similar AIO models with single thickness and dual thick rads. The thin rad performer will be very similar to a corsair H60 while the double thick water 3 pro will be very similar to an H80 in cooling capabilityThese are manufactured by Asetek and hence the circular ring retention mechanism. Both are universal kits applicable to all current AMD sockets (except AM1) and all current intel sockets (including 2011)Nothing fancy on the water pump / block. No blinking or color changing LEDS. I prefer it this way and would even cover or erase the painted TT logo (but that's just me) Each fan comes with a sleeved pwm 4-pin connector and another braided but non-sleeved 3 pin for the pump. A fan splitter is included (will allow connection of 1 pwm and 1 3-pin or 2 pwm - but only 1 fan will be controlled by the motherboard). I suggest placing both fans on separate fan headers and wiring the pump directly to the power supply instead of going into a fan header. Unfortunately, it doesn't include a 3-pin mini to a 4 pin molex adapter. I've had some issues with some motherboards not powering the pump at full speedInstructions on the included paper manual are adequate regarding the preparation of the brackets, retaining clips and backplate. It shows connection of the two fan leads but does not mention the pump anywhere.It is relatively quiet. No pump noise, no ticking. However, my biggest issue is with the included fans. They do a relatively good job but they are extremely noisy for their performance. I've replaced these fans with an assortment of ultra quiet yate loons, silverstones, coolermaster oem fans (from hyper212 towers) and I have not seen any drastic reduction in performance. In fact, in some applications, even slower spinning sub-1000rpm fans work better than the included white TT models. Overall still good kits specially if prices are pm'd.
