Thermaltake Water 3.0 120 ARGB Sync Review

Closer Look
Starting with the waterblock, the plastic enclosure features multiple RGB LEDs built into the translucent logo on top. The diameter of the housing is 60mm and 45mm tall from the copper coldplate.


The coldplate measures in at 53mm across and arrives with accurately measured, pre-applied thermal paste to help speed up the first installation.



The radiator uses aluminium fins in a tightly packed configuration giving a much larger surface area than a standard CPU cooler from Intel or AMD. There are pre-tapped screw holes on either side of the radiator to allow a fan to be installed on either or both sides. At 25mm in thickness, the radiator is typically sized and will fit most cases.


With rubber mounts on each corner, and on both sides, the PURE 12 ARGB Sync 120mm fan can be mounted in either orientation without worry of the fan transmitting vibrations into the case. With 9 individually addressable RGB LEDs built into the fan hub and a fully translucent rotor design, the fan should be bright with smooth transitions.


The PURE 12 ARGB 120mm fan uses two separate cables for the motor and the RGB lighting, both of which are 900mm in length and braided for better cable management and a cleaner appearance for those with tempered glass sides. After all, if you’re buying a component with extensive RGB lighting, you’ll want the rest to look good too.


Pairing the fan to the radiator is a simple process and thanks to the bright white fan blades, the fan looks great when turned off.
