Introduction
To extreme overclockers, enthusiasts and power users, asetek is definitely a household name. The asetek name is synonymous for the very first “affordable” mainstream phase change cooler readily available to the public, the vapochill™. They designed and produced what could possibly be the best cooler any processor can have. They brought the term cpu cooling to the next level, the EXTREME level.
Even though the vapochill™ is within reach by a lot of users, not all can afford this fantastic subzero cooler. So when they released their watercooling line, the waterchill™, the enthusiast community became very excited with the announcement. I mean this company has an excellent record when it comes to cooling design and expertise. So, you can only expect that their watercooling gear would be of top quality and high performance as well. Of course the expectations were high but that is the price of creating products that has created such an impact in the PC cooling world.
Today we will be reviewing and putting to test asetek’s most powerful watercooling kit to date. Targeted at the extreme users, this kit promises to deliver the lowest possible temperatures for any waterchill™ product the company has ever come up with. Introducing, the asetek WaterChill CPU Power kit KT03A-L30 with Triple Radiator.
How does asetek describe the WaterChill CPU Power kit - KT03A-L30 Triple Radiator?
“The KT03A-L30 [03-L-5712] represents the most powerful water cooling kit due to its triple radiator and larger pump. This kit is for the extreme overclocker reaching for the lowest possible temperatures and sky-high overclocking. This kit will take your water cooling set-up to the highest possible level!”
“In addition to a sharp design and strong visual impact, the WaterChill™ CPU cooling kit has a superior build quality and unique safety and noise control features.”
When a company make statements like that to describe their product, you can be sure that a lot of testing has been done before such claims were made. Knowing asetek, chances are you have a product that will stand up to its promise and deliver to the user the cooling performance they need. But of course, we have to prove it ourselves…

As with most high performance kits, each part in the kit is carefully chosen to complete the watercooling system. Most use tested and proven watercooling gear that are manufactured by different companies to complement their waterblocks, which as we all know is the key to any great watercooling kit.
In this case, asetek used the same approach and complemented their waterblock with carefully chosen watercooling equipment to complete their Power kit. In our experience, such kits are usually more involved and complex when it comes to installation due to that regard. But being a high performance kit, we expected it to be as such anyway. Hopefully, asetek has made their power kit much easier to work with than others.
