Thermaltake Silent Water II

djbbenn · Nov 2, 2006

Some people would love to get into a water cooled setup, but aren't quite sure where to start, or don't really want to get into anything too complex. Thermaltake has a solution for this - The Silent Water II. Coming pre-built and ready to go, it's just a matter of mounting this cooler to reap the benefits of watercooling without the hassle of setting up pipes, leak testing, and the other aspects of building a water cooled system.

Would you recommend this or the Corsair Nautilus?

Never used the Corsair unit... Though it's nicer looking, and has a lot better specs.

I am seriously considering this if I go for water cooling.

Good review. Depending on how much it is, I may be grabbing one of these.

This is a 150 bucks at compusa, if I put a GPU block on it would it be worth the cost>?

The Silent Water (not sure about 2) is $59.99 at newegg right now, much cheaper.

They're not even out yet afaik (just the first version)... We're just waiting for a response from TT on their price.

I doubt you could find a GPU block that uses 5mm ID outlets... There's not much pressure with a 72l/hr pump either. That's one downside of this cooler.

I was thinking I might have to make an adaptor, but after what you have just said, not buying/I'm still thinking about a kit from DangerDen I think its the best way to go.

Nicely done Dan ... :toast:

Ditto - good review!

Great review, but I have a question. On page 4, the 132W-graph shows the temperature at load for the Silent Water II is 34 degrees while at 107W it's 38 degrees. Are you sure this is correct?

Thanks... Nice find test0r - fixed.
