Test Bench
For our tests, we used our new test rig which comprises of an ASRock Fatal1ty X99 Killer 3.1 motherboard, along with an Intel Core i7-6800K at default clock speed of 3.4GHz, as well as 16GB of ADATA XPG Dazzle DDR4-2400 ram in dual channel mode.
We used AIDA64 CPU stress test which produces 100% CPU load and recorded the temperatures for both stock and overclocked CPU speeds.

Temperatures – Default clock @ 3.4GHz
Idle Temps
Idle temps was around 35 degree Celsius is fine … nothing out of the ordinary.
Load Temps
The Thermaltake Pacific W3 CPU Waterblock is holding well here. We managed to get some good temps – 52 degrees at CPU full load.
Temperatures – Overclocked @ 4.0GHz
Idle Temps
We got idle temps of around 36 degrees Celsius, which is very good for an overclocked i7-6800K @ 4.0GHz
Load Temps
While full load temperatures reach a high of 65 degrees Celsius, which is what I expected.
In Comparison
Here’s a quick comparison between the XSPC RayStorm Pro vs the Thermaltake Pacific W3 CPU Waterblock.
