SilverStone Revives Tundra with TD02 and TD03
SilverStone gave its Tundra line of liquid-cooling products a new lease of life with two new closed-loop CPU coolers, the TD02 and TD03 (pictured in that order). The two feature design and fans by SilverStone. The TD02 features a radiator assembly that measures 278 x 124 x 33.5 mm (LxWxH, excluding fans), and can latch on to four 120 mm fans. The TD03, on the other hand, uses a radiator assembly close to half the size of its sibling, measuring 124 x 159 x 45 mm. The base+pump assembly is the same for both, measuring 55 x 60 x 33.5 mm, which features a polished copper base. The two will reach stores later this week.

they are not copying corsair, they are manufactured by asetek, who manufactures almost ALL AIO units
Sure, they probably both use the same pump and innerds as the asetek aio's, but they're all made in the same factory anyway.
2) They look absolutely NOTHING like the H80/H100, the entire colour scheme is different, the entire pump unit is different and so on. These Tundra AIOs have aluminium on the pump, the H80/H100 are entirely plastic.
3) The radiator thicknesses are totally different 33.5mm on the TD02 compared to 27mm on the H100, 45mm on the TD03 compared to 37mm on the H80.
Just because someone makes an AIO with the same radiator size and same number of fans, it does not make it a copy. let me guess the Swiftech H220 is also a copy of the H100? Corsair did not invent the 240mm or 120mm AIO.
yeah 10 seconds late
Made entirely differently, measurements and all.
Everyone else should note i said asetek make almost all aio units.
I do like these units, they're quite refreshing when it comes to aesthetics.
They're definitely not plain H80/H100 copies FYFI13, that is like saying Corsair invented the whole AIO liquid cooling productlines to begin with, which is definitely not the case...
CoolIt actually had various units in the retail market before the deal between Asetek and Corsair.
H40/H50/H55/H70/H90/H110 are all made by Asetek.
just how much more cooling power do these have compared to tower style air cooler?
Do i hear the pump if i have an ssd and passive gpu, does it feature 4pin PWM for the Pump?
If i bought a normal water cooling "kit", does it kill/annihilate these completely?
The socket is made of "copper" or not?
How much?
I just want to clarify that this unit is not designed and manufactured by Asetek.
I should note that we have over 1.4 million liquid cooling units in the field so when you buy an Asetek designed product you are getting peace of mind along with performance. :rockout:
Take care,

i am not going thought all the fiting trouble if it won't kick my scythe mugen in its butt seriously with noise and temperature.
Hey guys there from "zack.asetek" and "Corsair George" as many cases feature these holes for watercooling on the back, why not make a AIO with couplings to open and refill or move the radiator outside the case?
i would be happy to put a 240 radiator "standing" on little feets outside and two couplings outside my case while inside is just a Block&Pump combo with completely sealed tubes!
i am not go and buy a sealed aio just to cut it up and loose my warranty :D
its more like the ones designed by Aquacomputer...
By making the tubing with quick connectors, you're introducing a point of potential loss of fluid. Even a small percentage of fluid loss can significantly affect performance and lifespan, which is why the units are sealed.
