Hey folks, does any of you know anything about the Thermaltke Water 3.0 Extreme? They launched this product back in mid 2013, CPU Magazine did 2 pages review aobut it, but that is it. None of the big reviews channel in You Tube has mention it. There are only a few videos about it and most of them are from Asia/East Europe, even Thermaltake website, has the product, but they exhibit the Water 2.0 series in the front page, when the normal thought should be present your most recent products. So I'm wondering, is there any problem with this series? Why we haven't heard that much about it? Water 2.0 Extreme was a good competence for everybody in the market, some sites/reviews put it, underload, over the H110 (280mm). So, it's not crazy to think that 3.0 would perform better than 2.0 and being tha latter a good one, all things lean over 3.0 being a hell good product, but no marketing campaing so far on internet....so, do you know anything about it? :huh:

The 2.0 Extreme was ~45mm thick whereas the 3.0 is 27mm thick. I would expect it to perform no better than the 2.0. It will probably perform about the same as an H100i. I suspect that the OEM for the nice thick 2.0 don't make that model anymore and have had to swallow this new radiator.

I would really like to see that. Yes, it's true, the radiator is thinner, but the fans are better (more rpms, less current, more cfm) and less noisy, of course, that is assuming that the specs are accuarate. So again, I would like to see some benchmarks on that, maybe Linus can get a hold from Thermaltake and borrow a 3.0 Extreme, lol.... :ph34r:

well, not that much under load...still, find interesting those results and the comment done. Those result agree very much with the 2.0, so I really wanna see a comparison between them, lol.
