    Thermaltake failures, need pictures of cracked acrylic tops.

    I know I have seen the pictures of peoples cracked acrylic tops on their Thermaltake water blocks and I have read the stories as well.

    I have recently noticed that someone in a forum I frequent is running a Thermaltake kit on a new build and low and behold there it was the infamous acrylic topped CPU block starring back at me.

    I'd like to be able to link this post so that this person I consider a friend can see for himself what he possibly has in store. Please share your pictures and stories of any failures Thermaltake related.

    Oh and just so you know I have tried the search function like any respectable forum user should, however a search does not seem to narrow things down enough to be of any real use.

    Thanks,
    Brian

    I had a thermalcrap wc kit years ago, back then when I lived in a small country where there where no alternatives (other than overpriced importing).
    that was in socket a days, so the "performance" of the tt crap was actually enough to cool the cpu, atleast for a week, then the pump was dead.
    of course tt used smaller tubing so no other pump was compatible, went with proper wc cooling from that point on up to last year where I moved to a different country, since then I've been using air (stop yelling traitor, I'm allready back into the wet thing, bunch of ek blocks allready at home).

    Besides the failed pump, the fan was atleast 3 times as loud as they claimed, TT is almost as bad as Silenx when it comes to lies about fanspec's (the almost is only there because tt fans atleast dont blow up).
