You guys knocking thermaltake -- they do make some cheap sh!t, but they also make some good, budget friendly stuff as well.

I'd stay the heck away from their power supplies, in particular their <500W ones (which I feel are cheap and nobody should cheap out on their PSUs), but some of their cases, heatsinks, and accessories do the job just fine!

I almost bought a Thermaltake case a few years ago, but ended up going with the Cooler Master Centurion 5 instead.

the guy is prob a kid from china. I've been there and TT has a huge presence there. People don't mind the lower quality shit cases from TT as opposed to high quality ones like Lian Li. TT products are also much cheaper there than here...

True, but you do get a good amount for your money with a number of Thermaltake cases. I try to stay away from their coolers and power supplies (though the Toughpower and Toughpower XT series seem to be pretty good), but their cases aren't bad for what they are.

I'd just never pay close to MSRP for one.

Yeah I have a thermaltake shark case, have had it for a long time. It's very nice. Very solid, all quick release, and looks great. They do have some ridiculous looking ones though.

...the heatpipes have gaps and don't touch the rest of the bottom of the heatsink...

Actually it works well, I think.^_^

It's i5 750, but I failed from unigine Heaven demo. :hmm:
I will try 860 later. (By the way, this TT case is too noisy cause of the annoying side fan.)


No brain whatsoever!!
I have to agree that. :D

This is a viral ad, but maybe the OP will stay a while and actually contribute to the forums and help others achieve similar results (even though we may not use TT products?).
It may be actually cool and beneficial to forums if the OP works for TT.
Having access to company's insider may prove to be useful.

Edit:
Pop Quiz: Do you remember TT Volcano way back from good ole AMD Duron 600 MHz days?

Edit2: Engrish makes this worth preserving...Heck, lets make it sticky just for fun?

Slightly OT: What happens when we have to learn Chinese and our communications are just as bad?

To start, what do the Chinese call the Chinese language? What should we call English mangled into Chinese?

I admit, I'm not very good at deciphering radicals and phonetics, and often miss when I'm counting strokes.

Just what is that first character?

THIS IS SUCH CRAP LOL!
GTX :eek:295:eek: from gf,
yeah right.

(1) Hyper PI 0.99b (1Core, 8M, Realtime)
(2) Cinebench R10 (1Core)
(3) Nuclearus Multi Core 2.0
(4) 7-zip (Benchmark Test,16M, 1core)
you seem to know quite a bit for an amateur,
both on the software side & the BIOS comparatively to someone who never heard of TurboBust... ,
a power meter,
the graphs,
this might be not the top O.C review,
yet it certainly isn't an amateur,
or noob stuff.

That's the joke, fucked up Chinese brought to you by first-language English speakers ;)

&#25105;&#30340;&#20013;&#25991;&#24456;&#24046; :p

You should stick around, you are our kind of cynical. Even if you are an employee working for money, you seem like the humorous sort nevertheless.

Can we look forward to more Thermaltake reviews? :p j/k

This post reminds me of high school when I emigrated to this country. Many at the blue collar town I moved to called me a "beautiful ray of sunshine" because I spoke Spanish to one of the teachers and specifically expressed thier belief that I was stupid because I spoke broken English. A mojority of the people that poke fun at engrish would be hard pressed to communicate in any other language if their life depended on it. The funny part is after a few months of high school I was tutoring peers in French, Italian, Spanish and portuegues...

Ahhhh one if the kids just threw up on his sister...

Yes, I have one right here. 7K RPM as I recall, loud as all get out.
