14 DAY TRIAL // There are two kinds of liquid coolers in the world: the systems that take a whole PC and have to be built from various parts, and the all-in-one versions that essentially replace a CPU or GPU cooler without needing an outside pump or whatever else.
At Computex 2014, taking place in Taipei, Taiwan, Thermaltake has formally introduced a series of liquid coolers of both types.
They are large, solid pieces of work, huge and bulky. They have radiators cooled by one, two, or three fans on a single side.
They also use two pumps to connect the radiator to the water block, allowing the coolant to flow constantly, dragging the heat from the CPU or GPU to the radiator and bringing chill instead.
One of the coolers that stands out most is the Water 3.0 Ultimate, with three fans.
Thermaltake still brought “normal” liquid cooling equipment though, not just closed-loop, all-ones. The main star of that crowd is a large 360mm radiator that can be paired with existing reservoirs and pumps.
It can be mounted at the front or top of Thermaltake cases. And by top, we do mean on top, on the outside.
Needless to say, LEDs are used to complete the hardcore image (red LEDs for a serious, heavy feel).
