Member Reviews: Thermaltake WATER2.0 Performer Closed-Loop All In One Liquid CPU Cooler Dual 120mm PWM Fans 120x25mm CLW0215

Overall my experience with this watercooler has been great, I purchased this cooler with my intel core i5 3570k with the intent to overclock my processor in a small form factor build in a silverstone sugo sg05. My temperatures are outstanding with just one fan installed running at 40% speed (899rpm) with my processor mildly overclocked to 4ghz for daily use.

Thermaltake WATER2.0 Performer Review I was recently selected by Thermaltake to review one of their WATER2.0 Performer coolers.. Nice! I received the cooler in the mail 4 days after receiving an email that I was selected to participate, with a weekend in between - nice shipping, Tt! I’ve been using the cooler since the day I received it, which was Monday 05/21/12, so it’s been used for a while in order to truly see how it performs. With a price tag of $69.99 on The Egg, the WATER2.0 Performer can be considered “entry level” in the closed-loop water cooler market. The cooler comes with Dual PWM fans (and a splitter), which is a first for these rads designed for 120mm fan holes. Each...
