Read a review on them at overclockercafe that seems really sweet. The one thing I haven't seen is a way to get the GPU in the cooling loop as well. I'm sure there's gotta be a way to do it. Any AT'ers got one of these babies yet that can talk about it? :)

Hmm, I wouldn't try it. If you want a passive watercooling setup, might as well get the ol' Zalman Reserator.

With Thermaltakes record, its a winner or a loser. They dont seem to have a middle-ground.

Their Big Water setup looks VERY good from the reviews going around. Busy reading the Symphony article.

:disgust: I don't know where you get your reviews but I've heard many a horror story about the Bigwater.

A scouring of google looking at Big Water Reviews and most came out very favourable. If I was going s939 now, Id not hesitate to drop the £60 on it.

I've never really heard any "horror" stories on the Big Water, but it doesn't offer much of an increase over stock air cooling.

Yeah it's pretty weak water cooling, just go with a Zalman or Thermalright air cooler.

Well, if I were gonna watercool, I'd want it to do CPU and GPU and the Reserator doesn't seem up to that task frankly. But this Symphony thing certainly looks like it could, if only it were obvious how to get the GPU in the loop. I suppose it might be as easy as getting a GPU block and hooking in the 3rd piece of tubing but since I've never done it, I can't swear to that :)
