Hello everyone,
I am looking for a new AIO water cooler but i'm not sure on what to get. Currently I'm looking at the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate, but if you guys have any better suggestions, then please go ahead and I look forward to see what you suggest for me

(the case is the "be quiet! DARK BASE PRO 900")

Many thanks,

Thank you for your suggestion.
Would it be possible for you to tell me why you would chose this over the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate? The differences, improvements, or lack thereof.
It would help me out if you could do so, thanks.

1. Good reviews.
2. The little fan directly over the waterblock, that blows across the motherboard components.
3. It looks cool.

I'd put actual money on not seeing a difference of more than 1 or 2degrees C, between either, in an identical system.

Thank you for replying :)
You state that it has good reviews, well that is certainly a good thing, however, I'm not too partial to the extra fan... It would seem like it could interfere with the air flow inside the case, and with a GPU using fans instead of a blower, it could end up just distributing hot air around the case instead of "cooling" other components, so I think for this and the Thermaltake, I'll stick with the Thermaltake.
But thanks again for your suggestion, and i'll keep an eye out for any future products from said company

Their theory is that other AIO liquid coolers leave a dead spot next to the CPU/RAM. That little fan helps move air across that dead spot.
Is it better? I'm not into the business of benchmarking every possible part combination.

Does it work for me? 100% yes.
