Opinions on Thermaltake Water 3.0

Hey guys.

I wanted to get a Coolermaster hyper 212 evo for my new build but now the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer C is on sale for 33€ which is about the price of the hyper 212. I know that the Water 3.0 is only a cheap AIO even when it's not on sale. So is it just a bad product or is it a good cooler compared to the hyper 212. Does anyone have experience with this AIO?

Which one are we talking about, 120mm? or the 240/280mm one

 

The one with one 120mm fan.

212 could Better or like very small difference , 120mm's are not worth the price for how similar they preform to cheap air towers

The Hyper212 could keep your cpu cooler at a higher overclock, yes. The advantage to the AIO is that any heat generated by your CPU is exhausted directly out of the case, and doesn't rely on an additional fan to push the heat out, whereas the Hyper212 will increase your case temps.

 

This is an Asetek cooler rebranded by Thermaltake, so it should be good quality.
