Out of idle curiosity, does anyone know the recommended TDP/max TDP that a Thermaltake Water 3.0 120mm cooler can handle? It doesn’t seem to be on TT’s spec sheet for that product. This is a purely academic question - I don’t intend to use this cooler for a CPU, I just wanted to know what wattage it could potentially handle.

Unfortunately tdp isn't really an objective measurement anymore.

An Intel 65w cpu and an amd 65w cpu could very well have different heat outputs and different power draws.

So many times the cooler manufacturers don't list a tdp of a cooler because of this confusion.
