Anyone heard of This- http://www.thermaltake.com/watercooling/cl-w0052TideWater/cl-w0052.htm Product?

And is is good?

Does it even seem good?

[mysterfix]

It looks like it might be worth a try, if the price isn't too much.

Cmon, more input pplz :D

IT might be okay. I'd be willing to bet that the performance is lacking. The plus side: copper block and radiator - no mention of aluminum. The pump 'looks" to be some variation of the mcp350 but probably not. Plus, it can be "quiet" - 17dba but tt's analysis of noise is usualy wrong... the 17dba is for like 15cfm and is closer to 40 @ full.

Another plus is that the "brazing copper waterblock" will do any brazing work for you, so when you migrate to custom phasechange, you don't need to buy any torches or anything because the block does everything for you!

On a down side, you need to do 10,000 hours of maintenance before you fill it???

Maintenance free for liquid refilling = 10,000 hours. Meaning it shouldn't need maintenance for 10,000 hours.

Well, it's an interesting design, I'll give them that. I'm always skeptical of TT products though. I'd like to know the MSRP and get a good review of it.

Yeah, I know. They just worded it completely awkward and it doens't make any sense unless you think about it - same with the "brazing copper waterblock".

Is it acrylic? I'd worry about it cracking.

Looks like rubbish to me. Typical plastic look :rolleyes:

Don't let Thermal Take your money!

Wow they managed to move the annoying small GPU fan 5 inches over, I'm sure that will help the noise level :rolleyes: I like Thermaltake but this looks like one of their gimicky products.

well.. i dun hav the money for a full water cooling system, and i nthe end when i do, i will hav a vapo on my cpu, so the water will only get to my graphics, so i think thios could be a good cheap investment

If it's not lol, wtf, or omg I have no idea what it is. I hate internet fads and I only know those from AIM commericals on tv and CS.

That's gonna be Quoted For Truth.

If you need cost-effective video card cooling just get a larger heatsink.
