Deepcool CAPTAIN360EX vs Thermaltake Water 3.0 Ultimate

Which cooler gives lower temps?

The OEM for all closed loop watercoolers is Asetek since they hold the patents to the pump on CPU design. To add more info;

Both radiators are built in the exact same dimensions/specification with the only difference being the pump/CPU block housing and the use of different fans. Speaking of fans, the fans on the Deepcool unit are better suited for radiator use since they have a high static pressure compared to the Thermaltake fans(which don't specify the static pressure of the fans used on their Water3.0 unit).

So in that regards, I'd choose the Deepcool unit over the Thermaltake unit but you should include factors like the TDP of your CPU as well as your ambient air temps since higher ambient temps will equate to higher temps on your AIO as the cooler will only cool itself if it's fed with cooler ambient air.

Rather than googling reviewers test result which may be done with different parts from yours, the best you can do is get
- good thermal grease, you may use this for other parts later and there can be no deviance of it application.
- good static pressure fans, just for option, EK Vardar Furious5 3000 RPM @12V is cheaper than Noctua IPPC 3000 RPM @24V (you'll have to add 24V controller)
