Looking closer at the Water 2.0 Performer

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer Radiator

Taking a look at the radiator for the Water 2.0 Performer, it seems like a pretty standard 120mm water cooling radiator.

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer Pump

This is the pump and waterblock for the Water 2.0 Performer. You can see that it has a standard 3 pin connector, for connecting to your motherboard’s fan header. You can also get a glimpse of the mounting notches that the Water 2.0 Performer uses.

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer Pump Height

Here is a look at exactly how tall the pump/waterblock combo is. Without the plastic cap protecting the base of the water block, it would be right at the same size as the included 120mm fans, which are 25mm thick.

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer Pump Base

The base on the water block is flat, and comes with pre-applied thermal paste.

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer Fans

Included are two 120mm fans, both of which feature a PWM 4 Pin connector.
