Introduction
Thermaltake have considerable upped their game with the Water 2.0 Extreme, which we have reviewed for you today. The massive temperature drop against our top end i7-3930K on an overclocked full load was incredible. Thermaltake are a little late in the cooler game with releasing their fully closed loop internal liquid coolers, but they sure have caught up to the top competitors such as Corsair, the Corsair H100 should now be scared against the Water 2.0 Extreme, which is a water cooler with high RMP dual fans laying on a large radiator with incredible cooling potential. Thermaltake seem to ooze quality products over the past year, each time by upping their game, and we love it.
Let’s take a look at this super cool unit from Thermaltake...

Features
No-maintenance operation
Traditional water cooling solutions require constant upkeep to prevent
clogs or performance degradation. Thermaltake WATER2.0 Series of
water cooling solutions are self-contained and proven to last.
Super quiet
WATER2.0 water cooling solutions offer the best of both worlds:
performance and silent operation thanks to the highly efficient
radiator and pump design.
Universal Support
Upgrading or switching between CPU platforms? No problem, WATER2.0
water cooling solutions are designed with universal mounting to support
all available AMD and Intel desktop processors.
Smarter cooling
Users should not have to adapt to the tool they are using. Instead,
WATER2.0 water cooling solutions all come with PWM-enabled fans
so the cooling performance adapts to you. WATER2.0 Extreme also
comes with software-based control system that allows the user to
fine-tune performance parameters.
Top of the line liquid cooler, Equipped with Power and Performance. No Refills Needed.
· High performance Copper base plate accelerates the heat conductivity.
· High reliability low profile pump provides quick liquid circulation lowering the temperature.
· Pre-filled coolant reduces the liquid replenishment hassle.
· Low evaporation tube decreases the loss of coolant effectively.
· The high-tech sealed circulation system prevents leaking issue.
240mm Radiator Doubles the Cooling Surface
· Powerful fan blows the heat of radiator out to the chassis to maximize cooling performance.
· PWM control function fan spins between 1200~2000rpm, can be adjusted on fan control software .
· Easy and simple installation methods.
· Fan control software (included), users can control, monitor and customize according to their desires.
Universal Socket Compatibility
Universal socket support:
Intel: LGA2011, LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA1155
AMD: FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2
Packaging and Contents
The box represents the cooler well, with water flowing from the radiator across the floor. Although is this a good representation? Does this mean the radiator has a leaking problem? No it doesn’t, because I am pulling one of my classic jokes, Bazinga!
The contents include the two 140mm fan, manuals, CD disk for the fan controller software, and all of the CPU supports including the newest 2011 socket. With the 2011 socket supports with these types of liquid coolers, installed is made super easy as you may now, and the copper based heat spreader simply is just locked into place, this task takes a mere minute or two.
