Dear God,

When will you stop Thermaltake? I beg of you to do so as quickly as possible.

Best Regards,

Why hasn't this thermalcrap company gone bankrupt yet?

*points finger at 1000's of n00bs*

[Frodin]

At least they have room for improvement... we saw that in the Big Typhoon. If they could do that same kind of quality "jump" in the WC department, they could actually be decent.

Another Big Water? Dohh. All Aluminium*? Gotcha!

*except waterblock, it appears.

tt bt pwns all aircoolers.

so why do they have to go bankrupt?

if you dont like them, ignore them.

Another baby out of the ugly tree. This one hit at least 3 branches on the way down.First name George? lol

As for TT, we all know that they make many products that are more gaudy than effective. Their watercoolers aren't very effective, but which of us would buy a watercooling kit anyway? Custom is the way to go. I dont like TT a whole lot, but it is true that the Big Typhoon owns.

[rick_fx]

The rad has two "Big Typhoon" fans :rolleyes:

[RPGWiZaRD]

TT should stay to develop computer cases and more high end CPU coolers like Big Typhoon, at least not WC kits :p:

[Kasparz]

TT doesn't produce cases.
TT cases are from Compucase, but only panels and side windows are from TT.

actually, its ALL copper. not aluminum. the only aluminum i can see is the rad fins, which doesnt mean jack in terms of corrosion(reason alu. bad in wc loop in first place) because its not comming in contact with water.

at least this is a step in the right direction, but it still appears they are quite a few years behind just in terms of basice design. maze blocks are dead.

Thanks, it appears I read too hastily.

Wow they finnaly put a good material in? Oh wait no, the radiators are still finned with aluminum. :(
aluminum disapates heat better than copper, copper transfers heat better

[Flak Monkey]

aluminum disapates heat better than copper, copper transfers heat better Thats not true. People often make this mistake because copper has a higher specific heat capacity than aluminum. It takes more energy than aluminum to raise it's temperature one degree but it also has more energy to give up when it cools. Many people came to your conclusion by heating a block of both substances to a given temperature and seeing which reached the ambient temperature fastest. This experiment is obviously flawed as the copper had more energy to dissipate than the aluminum and when drawing from a heat source like a cpu the copper wouldn't have reached as high a temperature as the aluminum.

Cu ownz Al I knew that in first grade.

Oh god that is sad.. For just a couple Hundred more One could go Phase Change.. and with only 1-3 degrees different than a cheap but Good Air Cooling Solution.. it is just a waste of Resources

[3NZ0]

it just occured to me, why 2 rads? :stick:

why not a 120.3 or just not bothering to release it anyway, both are far more simple solutions. :fact:

All I have to say is :slap: :slap: :slap: :slap: :slap: :slap:

Go pick up a chemistry or Physics book please.

[brandinb]

its only 144 bux guys for that money i think its a good deal as it will beat any air cooling solution and will be very quiet at the same time.

would be a good kit for a beginner wcer too

[Dapper]

I think it looks good for some one that doesn't need or want a hard core system

Dude for half that Price you can get an Air Cooling Solution that is just 2C warmer or you could spend Double that and Get a Great Phase Change Cooler that would be a hundred Degrees cooler:slap:

[MaxxxRacer]

Its not a good kit for anyone period. If u want to save money, you can build a WC'ing system for ALOT cheaper.
