  We investigate the temperature dependence of thermodynamic (density, isobaric
heat capacity), dynamical (self-diffusion coefficient, shear viscosity), and
dielectric properties of several water models, the commonly employed TIP3P
water model, well-established 4-point water model TIP4P-2005, and recently
developed 4-point water model TIP4P-D. We focus on the temperature range of
interest for the field of computational biophysics and soft matter (280-350 K).
The 4-point water models lead to a spectacularly improved agreement with
experimental data, strongly suggesting that the use of more modern
parametrizations should be favored compared to the more traditional TIP3P for
modeling temperature-dependent phenomena in biomolecular systems.
