Thermaltake BigWater Watercooling Kit

Introduction

Thermaltake has a reputation of being on the front line when it comes to new technology for the PC enthusiast market, and their BigWater watercooling kit helps them stay out front.  With its easy to configure design, great looks and awesome performance, the BigWater should be considered by everyone looking at getting into watercooling.

I have had great cooling results with my Swiftech MCX6400-V heatsink and was excited to see if Thermaltake could cool much more than this awesome heatsink.  To my surprise, the BigWater runs circles around this heatsink, with no additional noise or disadvantages.  Follow along as I dissect the Thermaltake BigWater watercooling kit.
