hahahah thermaltake watercooling

[Emericana]

just like everything else thermaltake makes this looks really bad and is used just for looks not performance...

[Liss]

reminds me of koolance

[JML]

I see this as a good and bad thing. Watercooling is getting more commercial, which will hopefully end up in more watercooling products (new blocks, rads, etc). Sure, a lot of it will be crap, but there should be some cool stuff too.

[juliendogg]

i can't help but laugh madly at their "intelligent tubing". hahahahahaha, now duh, why didn't i think of that? maybe cuz i like my flow rates??? too funny.

[juliendogg]

"The spring represents the best solution to ensure maximum water-flow." are they serious???

[Penguin4x4]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh, um...........

[Big_Baller]

Now I am not a pro but isnt that water block really restrictive to the flow of water? Does this system not remind you of Radio Shack RC cars? flashy, cheap, and only for suckers.

[SemiCycle]

Hum. Another company bring water to the masses. I guess it is good to see that, but I too wonder how well it will perform. I hope they get review samples sent out to reviewers soon.


I don't hold too much luck for it though.

[cack01]

The pump looks nice, but they didn't tell us the GPH on it. I'm just not a fan of 12V pumps.

How does the Intelligent tubing work??

[Frodo Baggins]

looks real nice tho ;) *shrug*

[[EG]~NaTz~]

haha
that is hilarious i hope one catches on fire and burns the comp to nothing. but i think its the fact that they didnt even try i bet u there is some techer cooler that works there just laughing or he is yelling at the engineers.

15 above temps arent teh best guys .....-says the techer
omg thats awesome its better than the hsf's we make-engineer
thats cause they blow nuts too-techer
i get temps of maybe 26c with an ambient of 20c-techer
thats impossible-engineer.

haha its always the guys that think they know what they are doing but are just dip****s that are the hardest to convince them of whats wrong

[MajinSSJVegetto]

.25C/W isn't horrible, but nothing to be very proud of, and definetly not something to brag about with a graph...

[JFettig]

how many of you are running aircooled 1600+es at 1.8ghz or aprox? are you 20c above ambient temp? if its less(most likely) you have wopped this system...

[Sniperboy]

what's the point of having springs in your tubing?

[MajinSSJVegetto]

The springs put force onto the tubing making it straight and less likely to kink. Although, it also harms waterflow inside the tubing and reduces flow rate.

[The Spyder]

hahahahahahahaha

[cack01]

The springs are supposed to:
Better water-flow and avoid compression.
The spring represents the best solution to ensure maximum water-flow.

All b/c it can't kink?? I doubt it.

[Ottoman]

interesting waterblock design... very original...wonder how it performs on it's own...

[R.Rabbit]

The Next generation in Cooling um havent some of us been w/c since pentium2's? i think the next generation is stock hsf with pelts and prometia

You're buying the wrong RC cars from Radio Shack :D

Nikko makes their cars...they rock. Or used to back when I had them.


"Back Up Receiver"

WHAT? I think they can't spell reseivoir just like I can't spell it.

[Neco]

........

"hahahahhahahahaha"

[grunjee]

What is that, like 1/8" tubing? What a joke. These guys are giving a bad name to watercooling! :mad:

[SLO_N8]

hehe...i like they idea that TT is getting into h2o...but their air-cooling solutions never worked too well, so I don't expect much of their water-cooling setups :)

[TheDrone]

My comments :

Well Thermaltake is in the game
A watercooling computer kit from Thermaltake system is it good ?

Read for you self at Thermaltake



Well after the reading that is on Tt's website my comments about their watersystem is : BAD !
Try to tell me that it is good ?
Why i belive it is bad !
Well just look at the cpu block, to narrow to hard curves, the pump ? well 1,5L / houre is'n that a little small ? and spings in the tube ! are they crazy ?.
Well not after i seen this system in action and see a good result i belive this system is good.


same i posted on my website !

[Frodo Baggins]

guys chill out about TT. I mean, just because not many people watercool doesn't mean that it's an EXTREME thing. Just look at hsf. They are used buy 90%+ of the comps out there, and there are crappy ones and then there are great ones. Same thing with watercooling stuff. Once in the future where alot of things will be watercooled, there will be crappy brand supplies and good supplies

[Iron Hawk]

Yeah, with theses types of systems its more about ease of use for the end user and lack of noise. This wont give results like a custom configured system, however it would be alot easier to setup for the average person. And it runs under the 30dB mark, thats pretty impressive for a .25c/w cooling setup.

[Frodo Baggins]

My watercooling adventure was:

1. Looks
2. Performance
3. Quietness

It sounds almost as bad as my volcano 6CU+, but give sme better temps, and looks great ;)

All you have to do is check out the products page and convert ;) .

Water Pressure: 1.2 kg/cm2
Pump Speed: 90 L/hr

The flow of 90 L/hr works out to around 0.4 gpm... hardly impressive. As for those pressure units... well... I've never seen them used before (I'm assuming they mean kg/cm^2, but still...).

[TheDrone]

but 9L / hr that slow mine is 400L/houre and cost 10$

[Daemonfly]

I have my own "Thermaltake watercooling" thing in the works, but should perform a bit better than that ;)

The .25c/w is slightly different rating than what comes up from Joe's tests. When Joe does his test on the Die Simulator, he gets an ACCURATE c/w rating. When he uses a motherboard in the same tests, he usually gets a MUCH lower c/w.

For ex: The Innovatek Kit received a 0.23c/w using the Die Simulator, but using the temps off the Iwill KK266+ it received a: 0.13c/w. I would think TT is using some motherboard to represent these stats and they are on the LOW end...

Anyways, its a POS but people will buy it because TT markets their product.

I find the add on automatic resiovour filler interesting , just one question. Why does a closed system need to have water added to it?

[mfpmax]

its not really an automatic water adding tank...

its a res tank...with a stupid name

[SemiCycle]

I just got done looking at the picture of that kit again, and that radiator looks REALLY SMALL. If you own a antec/chieftec type case, then you will know exactly what I mean. Heck, it can fit UNDER the bottom hard drive rack. Most people have to remove that to get their heater cores or radiators to fit there.

[ziah]

and with 3 smart case fan 2's ripping out 40db each! whats the point. just throw your volcano9 back on and get less noise. i like the fact that thier trying though. let the goof balls buy it. some of us know better. im waiting for the day you can grab a block from best buy!! oh, better yet walmart!! ugh! im going ghetto!!!

[natopotato]

reminds me of brasseagle.... plastic paintball guns WTF :#!$!@%$

[lol some of u probly have a plastic paintball gun .. eeek sory lol]

[Toysrme]

We'll so we're all glad they're in the game.

I bet the reason they put springs in the lines is so they can cover their asses when somebody kicks up the install process, or "tampers with them".

I sure would hate to have to design a water setup that would:
1) work often enough to be able to sell it
2) make it look good
3) make it reliable(see 1)
4) put a warrenty on it(see1)]
5) market it (I mean who else was like WTF when they heard somebody say "water and electronics" in the same sentance the first time.

Step's 1 and 5 will be the hardest part. I mean who here thinks they could design one and then step up to a big OEM company and try to sell it?

You Ok we have this GREAT watercooling setup and case you can use!
OEM Great!
You it cools way better than your stock heatsink so you'll be able to use the FASTEST processors without swapping companies!
OEM Even better!
What will it cost???
You ohhh about 10x as much as your HSF. AND! here's the bonus!
The results we get you could just buy a better HSF for 3x as much!

That's a hard sell. I look at this as more of a "bridge the gap" solution. Guys wanting to get their hands dirty, but not having the balls. Personally I don't see the differance in buying a Kit and just buying the components.

So am I defending them alittlebit? Yes. It's a ballzy move when a large company tries it. Try giving me any other LARGE company with some OEM deals that tries sells the whole-shabang?

Note I didn't say their setup was a POS tho! Every componet in it is not up to par. I say lighting a match under the waterblock would destroy everything before the match would die out <g>

-Toysrme

[Toysrme]

OH and not that they'd even be dumb enough to entertain the idea of selling this to an OEM dealer. Didn't want anyone to think that I thought they they were shooting for one with this. <G>

-Toys

[Emericana]

it makes me wonder why ANYONE would buy ANY thermaltake product in the first place. there are companies that do their heatsinks much much better and are cheap too (thermalright for example).....

just wonderin why do people buy from this company?
