(do-it-yourself) liquid cooling kits offer expandability, the same benefit often complicates installation and filling these coolers introduces a risk of mixing water and electronics. WATER2.0 specifically addresses these concerns by having a closed-loop design, meaning all the fluid that are required for maximum performance are pre-filled and sealed inside so the users do not need to handle any type of liquid during installation or operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWATER2.0 is not a direct replacement of air cooling solutions. The all-new WATER2.0 is an improved performance-driven solution that offers added benefits of simple installation, no-maintenance and extreme reliabilityto the traditionalliquid cooling kit. After a long period of research and development, we came to a point where WATER2.0 has reached the performance standard that Thermaltake has set forthwhile ensuring a fluid user experience from installation to actual operation. Now is time perfect time to discover an all-new performance-driven alternative CPU cooling solution\u201d commented Ramsom Koay, Director of Marketing for Thermaltake.<\/p>\n<p>WATER2.0 Series closed-loop CPU liquid coolers are available in three different performance categories that cater to different performance requirements or applications. The WATER2.0 Performer features dual 120mm PWM fans with a high-performance 120mm x 25mm radiator that can be mounted to any chassis with an available 120mm case fan mount.\u00a0 The liquid circulation is handled by a high-efficiency, low-profile pump that sits on top of the all-copper cold plate.\u00a0 The low-profile pump is ideal for high-performance systems where high-end air cooler may interfere with enthusiasts-grade memories that often come equipped with taller heat spreaders.\u00a0 A dual-PWM adapter is also included allowing both included PWM fans to be connected to a single PWM fan header on the motherboard to ensure synchronous fan speed operation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29603\" style=\"width: 346px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Water20Pro21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29603\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29603\" title=\"Water20Pro2\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Water20Pro21.jpg?resize=336%2C352\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Water20Pro21.jpg?resize=336%2C352 336w, http:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Water20Pro21-286x300.jpg 286w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Water20Pro2<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For more performance, the WATER2.0 Pro utilizes a much thicker radiator, 49mm compared to 25mm found on the Performer model,to dramatically increase the heat-dissipating surface area by almost doubling the doubling the volume of the radiator.\u00a0 The WATER2.0 Pro also includes the same low-profile pump along with dual 120mm PWM fans including the dual-PWM adapter.<\/p>\n<p>While all of the WATER2.0 CPU liquid coolers provide performance and low-noise operation, WATER2.0 Extreme delivers the ultimate performance by incorporating a double-long (240mm x 25mm) radiator that further increases the available heat-dissipating surface area for maximum cooling power.\u00a0 WATER2.0 Extreme ships standard with dual 120mm PWM fans and it is capable of supporting up to four PWM fans in push-pull configuration.\u00a0 Targeting enthusiasts and overclocking consumers, the WATER2.0 Extreme also comes with Smart Control Software that allows the user to monitor status of various hardware elements within the cooling unit, in addition to creating cooling profiles that best matches the user\u2019s working and gaming environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWATER2.0 Series of closed-loop CPU liquid coolers are not just new products that Thermaltake is introducing,\u201d stated Weller Chen, Director of Product Management at Thermaltake, \u201cWATER2.0 represent a shift in design philosophy from Thermaltake that aligns user experience in the same breath with performance, as consumers can see from the maintenance-free operation as well as simplified installation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The WATER2.0 Performer and Pro are now available at major retailers in the United States and Canada.\u00a0 MSRP for WATER2.0 Performer is USD $69.99, and USD$99.99 for WATER2.0 Pro.\u00a0 The WATER2.0 Extreme will be available in July at major retailers with MSRP at USD $129.99.\u00a0 For more information, please visit the manufacturer\u2019s product page: <a href=\"http:\/\/thermaltakeusa.com\/Products.aspx?C=1444\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/thermaltakeusa.com\/Products.aspx?C=1444', 'http:\/\/thermaltakeusa.com\/Products.aspx?C=1444']);\" >http:\/\/thermaltakeusa.com\/Products.aspx?C=1444<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Water2.0 Performer can be purchased at:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;
