Thermaltake Water 3.0 All-In-One Liquid Cooling System
Thermaltake launch the new Water 3.0 Ultimate, an All-In-One liquid cooling system with an large 360 mm radiator design especially to support the desires of enthusiasts. Equipped with power as well as performance, Water 3.0 Ultimate is top of the line liquid cooler, compatible with universal socket type.
When choosing a highly-efficient liquid cooler to control any escalating CPU temperatures, gamers definitely take easy, clean, and low-maintenance setup in consideration. And Water 3.0 Ultimate can be their best choice! The new Thermaltake All-In-One LCS Water 3.0 Series is designed to exceed user expectations. One simple upgrade allows users to enjoy a better cooling performance with superior CPU protection.
High Performance Waterblock
The high performance copper base plate accelerates the heat conductivity. Additionally, the pre-refilled coolant reduces any stress from liquid replenishment hassle.
High Efficiency Radiator
The specially designed 360 mm large surface radiator not only doubles the cooling surface, but also supports up to 6 x 120 mm fans for additional heat dissipation.
Triple Curve Fans
The triple 120 mm PWM fans provide an instantaneous cooling function. The powerful PWM controlled fan speed is between 1000~2000rpm, reducing the radiator heat from the chassis to maximize cooling off performance.
High Reliability Pump
The high quality and reliable pump enables the maximum amount of water circulation, keeping the copper plate continuously cool. The low evaporation tube effectively decreases the loss of coolant; therefore no refill is either needed or required.
Easy and Simple Installation
The Water 3.0 Series - Water 3.0 Ultimate, Water 3.0 Extreme, Water 3.0 Pro and Water 3.0 Performer feature the latest cooling performance technology from Thermaltake, providing a simple installation system, and a totally maintenance-free operation. The Water 3.0 Series is easy to install and requires the minimum amount of space in the chassis.

That would be a very unfair way to judge a CPU cooler. Technically, as long as a cooler is as good or better then the stock cooler, its 'rated' for that CPU.
Which is every CPU cooler on the market. The CPU wattage you're gonna see is what, 130w? It would be extremely misleading.
The best way to judge a CPU cooler is to simply test it's capability in testing.
Same reason why we need to use benchmarks to see the true difference in processing power for CPU's and GPU's. Looking at the specs, no matter how detailed, does not tell the full story.

Agreed that it wouldn't be a 100% accurate metric, since cooling effectiveness depends a lot on ambient temperature, case airflow and many other factors, but a standard test setup (open cage, fixed ambient temperature, etc.) could give at least a baseline to compare products against each other. It would be similar to the sensitivity rating of speakers, or SNR of audio components. Yes, there is some variability but generally you can use the values to make rough decisions about how they perform. Heck, you wouldn't even have to use a CPU, just a hotplate you could dial up to the proper wattage. You just need to see how much heat the product can dissipate before it can't keep up any more. A "worst case" scenario.

I wonder how loud that thing gets, and still, how good it will work with some overclocked cpus, 4790k for instance

Unfortunately most of these units are the same. The only difference is the fans and the logo (most are rebranded asetek or coolit).
They are loud, less realiable and don't cool better than a nh-d14 but they look nice though.
The best ones are the Swiftech ones (H220 and Coolermaster rebranded Glacer), but for some reason they vanished from the market.

Is there any reason why companies in the cooling market don't advertise the maximum wattage they are able to handle? It would seem that if we can calculate the TDP on a processor given a voltage and clock speed that we should be able to pick in a chart a cooling solution designed to properly deal with the TDP. For instance, this LCS could be rated "up to 300W" or something. At least then we'd have some way of comparing the strength of these cooling solutions against each other.
