Thermaltake CL-W0121 2U Drive Bay Water Cooling System

Pump died on me. Don't expect to add to the system or you'll ruin your pump. Unless you only need your cpu cooled, don't get this and if you only need your cpu cooled, you're not overclocking and don't need liquid. Just adding the a northbridge killed it. Do the research, get a pump twice as powerful, go all out. Not worth it otherwise.

Got this for Christmas, they said it would be at my door in 3 to 5 days, got here in 4, thanks! Took about half a day to get everything torn down, cleaned up and put back together but everything fit right the 1st time, going from a Big Typoon to this really opened up my case and helped the temps overall. My core temps have dropped from 38-40C at idle to 27-30C at idle and no more random shutdowns

My I7 was havinging heating issues with conventional air-fan coolong. It sits under a desk and needed a way to get the haet out of the case and this product did the best job I have experienced!

dos not antifreeze become acidic with age and make a battery when ran past a copper core?

I been running my big 760 now for over a year. Exact product. I running the Amd phenom 965 running 30 C. Keep in mind you have to get all the Air bubbles out of the lines to keep this product working. I finally change out my hoses when I clean up the fans and condensor. Still working great.

Comment:
Every thing good but the pump fan is very loud and the whole thing could not fit into the case because there in the front left side was 2mm bigger than the right side. Other than those, very good cooling but could fix up some cosmetic flaws.

This is my first WC system, and despite it's not that new product, it work fantasticly. I'm using it to cool off my Q9450, and it does the job very well keeping my CPU temps 36.25.31.32 / 47.34.39.42 idle/load with the fan spin at min. In the box you get enough tubing and liquid etc., to make it run and the pump it is powerfull enough to hook-up NB & SB aswell. The only thing is, it takes 2 bays and it's long !! So make sure you have enough room in your case, otherwise I highly reccomend to everywone you wants to switch to WC without getting broke.Cheers

I was having issues with my video card over heating. I had 4 80mm fans and a very large heat sink for my CPU in my computer case. With all that heat and nowhere to go, my video card was taking the hit. After deciding to go liquid cooling, my video card temp dropped, my CPU is cooler, and the overall computer case has dropped 29 degrees. Now there is air and everything is running OUTSTANDING!!!

This is working great! My AMD 955 is running pretty cool even during game play. Better than any cooler I have used. The only Con I could think of with this is there is not a temp readout. But that was only about $25.

When I first installed this my temps weren't any better than my Arctic Freezer 64 air cooler were but I remedied that... First off, you gotta take some time to get all the air out of the unit, it is a good idea to run it outside of the case and move around the water block to get the trapped air out of it. If there is a bunch of air bubbles in the tubing going to the CPU block those may get trapped inside the block. It also took me 2 tries to get the right amount of thermal paste on it, I didn't have enough the first time. I love everything about this unit, the quick connects, the fact that it's a bay cooler and not cluttering up my desk. If I have to move my case, no problem, everything is inside! Oh yeah, I used automotive radiator fluid, the 50/50 mix is better than what TT gives you from what I have read.

I am running this unit on ASUS Rampage MB with 8GB of 800 RAM. Q6600 OCT to 3.41Ghz or so, on Vista Ultimate 64bit or Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit RC1. CPU runs as high as 3.4Ghz to 3.91Ghz with no problems. CPU will reach 140F under SETI@home. Runs at 118F to 123F on normal load. Installed 2 video cards for working and a little play time. ATI 4850 HD and a ATI 3600 HD as the second video. All cards are pushing 3 monitors that are HP w2338 HD LCD monitors so I can work. I am running RAID 5 on 4 X 250GB Seagate hard drives for speed and data integrity. I am sorry I am not much of a gamer other than StarCraft and that is not 3D game, not yet anyway. I hope to Beta test StarCraft soon and this PC should work nicely I would think. System has been running stable for over 8 months now. I can run several VM machines at one time. Fan speed control should be outside the case. I have to add that expensive little bottle of water every few months. Where does the water go? I don't have any leaks!

I mean it works, doesn't keep my Phenom 9850 Black Edition any cooler than my normal heatsink did. 40 Celcius but its a good starter liquid cooling system, very easy to install.

Comment:
So i bought this bad ass unit. It is a bit on the large side and it will leak a bit when you disconnect the couples but other then that it is great

Comment:
i have had this product for a while now it works great no problems i run a quad core and it dont even get hot stays around 101 degrees

Comment:
This is great. It keeps my cpu on a steady low temp (idk cause i don't have a sensor) It is overclocked pretty good and keeps it low. Although i had to make a case mod to get it in. I have the Cooler Master HAF 932 and had to hammer the first rail support so it would go in all the way.

Tried about every air cooling system there was to bring an Intel 840 EE down to reasonable range -- NONE WORKED - that chip has a 90nm process and generates hellacious heat - should not have been released with stock air cooling. This simple, relativly cheap water cooler keeps the 840 EE cool and I'll squeeze another year or two out of it. Oh yeah and I find the chip does overclock pretty well - from 3.2 to 4 pretty easily. That was out of the question with any air cooling soloution. So for that matter was running the HT.

Hey i'm getting this for my graduation along with a bfg 280 with water block and some ocz flex ex that also has water blocks on it and was wondering exactly how much tubing comes with it so i can get more if it need it thanks

It's pretty good, fun and easy to install, easy to use. I'm getting 36-46c on my AMD 6000+ x2 (not overclocked) using 50/50 automobile anti-freeze because ethylene glycol is ethylene glycol, (50/50 works a whole lot better) I wouldn't use the coolant they give you because it's 90% water and 10% ethylene glycol. Also if you're gonna buy it, make sure you leave room for the radiator to spit out hot air and the fan to suck in cool air, so that's 4, 5.25 driver bays needed to get the max performance. Also it looks REALLY COOL specially with a lot of lights inside of the case, because the ethylene glycol reflects UV light, which makes it glow bright green.

I had a M998 Mid tower case... Thing worked a little better than my TI MAX ORB (2-3c). I pulled back the top of the case about an inch and it droped my temps another 5-8c. So I went out and bought a Master Cooler HAF full tower case. It cools even better. I have a AMD 9550 @ 3.03ghz 1.42vcore and it idles around 28c and at 100% load 37c over two hours. couldnt be happier. I was getting 40c @ 2.7 1.35vcore with the max orb. I RECOMMEND INSTALLING THIS IN A FULL TOWER CASE. IT NEEDS THE ROOM TO PULL THE AIR FROM THE TOP AND SHOOT IT OUT OF THE BOTTOM.

I've had this installed in my system for about a month now and have had no problems whatsoever. It comes with more then enough tubing to expand to other liquid cooled components and enough coolant as long as you don't use a ridiculous amount of tubing. The coolant is UV reactive and glows which makes a nice case mod. My CPU, an AMD Athlon X2 4600+ 2.4Ghz(not the best:-P) runs at a constant 32*C under a heavy load and 28*C while idling. I recommend this product if you are looking for a relatively inexpensive liquid cooling solution.
