"Titan Watercooling Kit TWC-A04"
Joe Citarella - 6/12/04

page 1 of 2

SUMMARY: Inclusive kit with moderate performance.

The good guys at Titan were nice enough to send a sample of their latest watercooling kit, the TWC-A04. This kit can fit just about any CPU and GPU that's out there. It comes nicely packed:

Box

The first item I removed was the main control unit:

Case

This unit can either fit into two CD ROM bays or be used externally - there are parts included in the kit to accommodate either. The back

Back

shows fittings for the tubing, pins for the second radiator, thermistor and at the far right, the four pin power plug. The front

Front

shows the fill port for the system, the LCD, control settings for the external fan and a control knob for the internal fan. The second radiator is a supplement to the internal radiator in the main control unit. The external radiator

Rad

features an 80 x 38 mm fan which is controlled by the base unit. The fan can be set to kick into high gear; however, the lowest temp setting is 40ºC - a tad too high for my taste.

Rad Edge

The kit incudes two waterblocks - one for the CPU

WB

which features mounting clips for Intel P4 and AMD Socket A and K7. Note that there is a square peg on top of the waterblock - the clips fit onto this peg to securely position the waterblock directly over the CPU; mounting force is applied over the center of the CPU - much preferred. The base is polished:

The GPU waterblock

GPU

includes two clips and also sports a screw over its center to securely hold the waterblock in place. The base

Base

is polished as well. Finally, the kit ships with all the parts necessary for internal or external mounting:

The panels at the top of the pic mount to the case's sides if used externally.

All the kit's parts are in plastic bags with labels - a nice touch as it keys to the instructions. Included are instructions to cover all mounting options. Overall, a very comprehensive kit.
