Thermaltake CL-W0121 2U Drive Bay Water Cooling System

Nice cooler. Easy install. I Have the block sitting on an AMD X26000 which are known to run hotter than Intel's dual core processors. Idle temps for me are at 31c and under full load 45c

Great intro to water cooling. This is my first water cooler and it does a good job cooling my new Core2Quad. The die on the cpu actually frees up space in my case which helps on air flow. The fan has a reostat on it which lets you adjust the fan speed. Running the fan on high is noticable, but it sounds smooth. No problem for noise with me. Get it, its a great investment!

I have to say that this unit is by far the best investment I have made so far. Keeps my CPU at about 12c idle and 19c @100% load. as easy and fast to install since I have a full tower to work with.

The ThermalTake liquid Cooling System is by far the best.In all my WEB browsing that i did for Cooling Systems,they all kept bringing up the ThermalTake Cooling System.So i decid'ed to buy it,and i am glad that i did.Installa'tion is easy.I nver worked on MotherBoards in my live.The only thing that i have done is install memory or video cards.It took me 5 minutes to empty the entier board from cables to Fans to video-card's.To install the cooling system and installing the board back in place,about 30 minutes.Now my system Temperature is 36C all day with out playing games.And all Day playing is 40C.It's very impressive..THIS ITEM IS A MUST BUY.....

I installed this a couple of weeks ago to cool my new 8800GT video card. The installation took a couple of hours, but only because I had to juggle around some fans and drives to accommodate it -- and because I had to keep re-checking my work because the process seemed to be going too easily.With the fan on minimum setting the device is essentially silent, and my card runs at a steady 51c when idling, and 58c under heavy load - even over-clocked. Turning the fan speed up to barely audible reduced that by a couple of degrees.While this device is quite compact vertically, it is VERY long. If you do not have a fairly deep case, or a small motherboard, then it may be a challenge to make this thing fit. Even in the lowest bays on my case, this device conflicted with some of the jumpers on my motherboard and I had to choose between surgery, or letting it stick out a couple of millimeters (I chose the latter).The only other problem I had with the device is that the bottle of fluid froze in transit and leaked inside the box. No permanent damage, but the manuals got a bit soggy. My fault for living in a cold climate I suppose.

Works ok, not much difference from a zalman 9700 and vf 900, i am cooling cpu and video card with this unit and a tmg 1 raditor in rear of case. My main reason for a water upgrade was noise, before, my tower sounded like a shopvac, and now quiet.6400x2@3.5GHz,evga 7950 gt ko superclocked-maxed out,asus crosshair mb,8 GB MUSKIN 800MHz ram @ 1072MHz, CPU 40C IDLE-50 FULL LOAD,VC 46c under load

Got it today and installed it today. Nice item a bit big but it fit in my case. Its a GOOD kit for people just starting out with water cooling.

this is a very good product, in just installed it today, and it is working great, cools the cpu and it is very quite. but don't be fooled by the "compact design", this thing is huge, well it is very long, about 2 inches longer than a DVD drive, and i ended up have to cut the black rubber hose short to fit it in the case cause they are too long, almose reach the back of my case. so if u don't have a big enough case, don't buy it, will give u a lot of trouble. i use Ultra Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case, and it is pretty cramped now, but based on its performance, it is still a good buy.

Quick easy install and a clean look are definite pluses of this product, the large diameter hoses leave plenty of capacity and other devices

Great all-in-one cooling product! First off, you can't get any enclosed water cooling setup easier to install than this one. You have to make sure you have 3 free drive bays, as the default 2 will reduce performance. Whats cool is you can swap the fan to push air UPWARDS through the radiator, thus partially exhausting through the case. Will cool slightly better than high-tech air coolers, if set-up right. Plus you can upgrade by adding GPU coolers.

WOW! I'm running at 87 degrees F!!!!! I'm use to 110-130. This is amazing. And so quiet! I use to have a big bulky LOUD fan on my CPU. But that's gone now. One suggestion though for those of you that buy one. Leave a bay clear under the unit. This allows for the radiator to work at optimum efficiency. ''Looks like thermal take has done it again.'' - The video. THAT'S RIGHT! The kit even includes thermal paste (wish I had known cuz I bought some with my order), and coolant (wish I had known that too, bought some of that with my order as well). Had to trim the tubing a little to fit my box. Get this! You won't be sorry.
