Corsair Hydro H60 High Performance

Package of Hydro H60 High Performance has the same design and content but it is silver:

Technical specifications and list of accessories written on many languages can see on the box. Performance of cooler and level of making noise are compared to standard cooler of Intel.

However, accessories are different. We can see that kind of latches is different and there is variety of screws and spacers:

As its cousin, Corsair Hydro H60 High Performance is made in China, and guaranteed for 5 years. It is more expensive with the price of $79.95.

This cooling system is the same as its predecessor: a pump with a lock, two tubes and radiator.

However, we can notice that the tubes are bigger. They have diameter of 14 mm instead of 11 mm in order to reduce protest of cool fluid and decrease volatilization. Length of tube remains at 310 mm.

Aluminum radiator almost has the same size to previous cooler, except wider tubes. Furthermore, the number of radiating tubes increases from 11 to 12 in inside radiator when distance among them is not clearly.

The body of radiator has the same depth as Hydro H55 Quiet – 17 mm.

Label on the radiator do not also provide any helpful information.

Corsair Hydro H60 High Performance has water pump/ block different from other coolers in this test. It does not have round edges but square ones with size of 63x63x32 mm:

Unfortunately, this is the only difference that we can show. Little technical information indicates that not only pump but also lock are not distinctive about outside design of Corsair Hydro H55 Quiet. Power consumption of pump is 1.96 according to our measuring. This is the most saving pump in this test.

It has the same thermal surface on the bottom of water block but it is square instead of round:

Therefore, water block can connect to whole surface of radiator of CPU, and the thermal grease is pretty perfect:

Hydro High Performance also has another fan. It comes with a Corsair SP120 adjusting high quality PWM.

Nonetheless, thin radiator does not need a high-pressure fan with a large dead area that does not deserve with engine. That is the reason why we guess Corsair’s AF120 will be better choice with strong airflow and smaller engine (means dead area is smaller). Such two fans will be perfect. Unfortunately, producers prefer another fan which is typification with maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, noise in 30.9 dBA, and airflow 54 CFM.

Hydro H60 High Performance is installed in the same way as Corsair Hydro H55 Quiet. If you had a motherboard for Intel CPU, put its legs into frame-holes of source.

After that, structure that using magnet is installed on water block and used to immobile it on motherboard and CPU.

In fact, installing Hydro H60 High Performance is even simpler and easier than installing Hydro H55 Quiet.

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer (CLW0215)

Products of Thermaltake can be easily distinguished by special package with black and red. New Water 2.0 Performer is not exception:

There is a picture of product on front side of box. Its name and main features are showed there. Sides of box also have lots of information

Accessories are similar to Corsairs except fan and directions:

Made in China, cooler goes with recommended price of $69.99. Guaranteed within 3 years.

Look in the change of background 550 LC, we do not see any specific new thing, except label on plastic top of water block:

We have the same size of radiator 151x120x27 mm, two tubes 300mm long (diameter 11 mm), and a pumping/ locking part Ø72х28mm.

Aluminum radiator includes 11 thermal tubes, and a range of folding in the middle.

However, power index that we can read from label of radiator is 3.1 W instead of 3.9 W.

We do not know the reason for this difference, but according to our measurement, pump of Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer creates the most power with 3.34 W although it is not necessary to have the highest performance.

The simple difference between Water 2.0 Performance and other variations of Asetek 550LC is fan. Thermaltake version has two fans.

There are some Power Logic PLA12025S12HH-LV fans that can also see in Bigwater A80 and Frio Advanced. Fan speed is adjustment PWM in range of 1,200 to 2,000 RPM. The maximum airflow is set in 93.4 CFM for each fan while noise is not higher than 27.4 dBA.

Maximum power consuming of fan is up to 6 W in 0.5 amperes, twice as much as that of pump and only a quarter more than that of one Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, for example.

Here is a adjusting circle that we has indicated in description of Corsair Hydro H55 Quiet:

It is inserted from under water block and helps to adjust remaining dish. That makes it is even easier to install water block on CPU.

Installation process is similar to Hydro H55 Quiet, for instance, except the second fan:

Installing process is similar to ydro H55 Quiet
