Any one using this kit? I have went through two pumps and am disgusted with thermaltake. More like thermaltakeyourmoneyandgiveyoujunk! Ended up using a 110v submersible pump to eliminate removing the mobo for continued use. 3/8 line on this pump and it runs hotter by 2 degrees C.

Most reports about the Big Water have been very favourable.

It looks like a very good bang for buck WC system.

I am using the thermaltake bigwater. I haven't had any problems with it, and it got my out of conrol over heating prescott down to a reasonable temp. With the XP-120 it was throttling at stock speeds and getting up to about 72c under load, with the big water, it runs at 3.91ghz @ about 57c.

if you are going to jump into water cooling its too time consuming and expensive to buy a kit. its better on your part to mix and match products cause 1) wont be any harder to put together 2) will perform better 3) will be cheaper

I would think that finding the parts by yourself would be more time consuming...... Especially if you just want quiet cooling system and are not planning on doing some exterem ocs.

The first kit I bought at Frys, and the pump was D.O.A. I took it back (hate removing the mobo,reverse ATX case) and got a replacement kit. Had no problems installing it the second time, unlike the first(whack directions). The second pump lasted shortly. I contacted Thermaltake and they said they would gladly replace the pump but I would have to cover the shipping, which I know is normal. I informed them that I would rather pay the difference and get a better pump. My machine is on 24-7 folding, so I dont want another flaky pump crappin out on me when Im at work. I never recieved another email from them, so I am going to just purchase another pump from another manufacturer. I am still using the submersible pump now. Does anyone here have any recomendations on a good pump/reservoir kit (internal)? Dont want to break the bank for a pump so no super expensive ones please. Also, has anyone added multiple water kits to their pc?(one for video/chipset, one for cpu only)?
