Thermaltake Unveils ProWater PW880i Water Cooling System

[HellasVagabond]

I am talking about NEW prices, not used....Last time i checked this costs around 120-130$.

And no you cant fit memories beneath it. I couldnt fit the OCZ Blade, the Patriot Viper, CSX Diablo, Chaintech Apogee GT, Kingston T-Series. I mean they would fit but they heatsink would press on them and i dont consider that as a good thing.

I think people diss this because its thermaltake. It looks like a rather good system put together all on the outside of a substandard case put together poorly. I mean, thats the biggest rad ive seen them use.....ever. Its more than what im using now and im even using the cheap ass stock block and my cpu idles at 18c.

vipers are the same size as the DHX corsiars and they fit fine just cause they press they aren't going to explode

When the heatsink lands on the modules most likely the heat from the CPU will be transfered to them or vice versa, depending which gets hotter. That Cant be good in any case.

those fins don't even get warm with a 250W load on them

And that has its reasons. I mean look at it. It doesn't look like fully planned out.

 

[HellasVagabond]

Cdawall in any case when something lands on something else then i cant consider it good.
Plus the V10 takes so much space inside the case its too much.
Not to mention that the installation is not the easiest one around...

i guess since mine was not in a case at all i skip installation for the most part and its not any larger than the gemini II i used to run back in the day so i have nothing to really compare it to

No, I diss it because it clearly looks like cheap crap. The blocks are crap, the rad is aluminum, and crap, the distribution block looks like restrictive crap, and looking at the pics, they are still using the same pump, verified to be a complete POS.

And Thermaltake has had kits with 240mm rads for ages, even a kit with a 240mm + another 120mm rad. Even those were complete junk, and performed like total shit.

Installation and case fitment of the V10 is still better than a water kit in 90% of the cases out there.

Thermaltake kits are crap,i agree with Wile e,go onto XS froum and say you have/are getting a thermaltake setup,and watch the flaming begin.

Aluminium rad plus copper blocks? has no one learnt by now its not a good idea to have mixed metals in your loop.I'd rather throw a bucket of water in my case to cool it,than put this in my case.

 

[HellasVagabond]

Lets wait on the price tag first guys and then we can talk.

As for the V10, the fact that you cant even change the memories is way too bad for me

 

[WarEagleAU]

was thinking the same thing Easo, but it has been clarified. Looks big and clunky but it seems to do alright. Not better than my put together water cooling rig though.

Idc if something "looks" like crap. Thats like judging a book by its cover. My Corsair Natulus looks like shit and it has a cheap ass block, single 120 rad, pos pump and i had to redo the water flow but it keeps my 720 @ 3.8ghz at 18c idle 24c load. Im sure this could provide better cooling despite the name being TT. And i bet this still outperforms air cooling by a margin. The only problem with aluminum rads is oxidation. Pure copper rads are expensive.

The point isn't whether it's better than air or not. The point is it is crappy water cooling.

And sometimes it only takes looking at something to know it's crap, especially when flow dynamics are involved. If it makes sharp bends, it's detrimental to flow, and is therefore crap.

As for the rest, they are carryovers from other kits in their line up. All previously verified to be crap, especially (and I stress this point) the pump.

i have yet to have an issue changing the ram

 

[Icejon]

I like the fact that Thermaltake Uses 140mm fans. What I don't like is how they install it on the v9 case, it doesn't look like a complete unit, if a cat jumps on it all the coolant lines will break when the reservoir falls!

 

[HellasVagabond]

i have yet to have an issue changing the ram

You dont have an issue ? How do you change ram with a large profile heatsink on it when the V10 lands on it ? How exactly can you manage that ? Even if you unclip them you need to raise them in order to remove them. So what do you do ? Bend the heatsink of the V10 ?
I really have no idea how you can accomplish that. Unless you are talking about normal profile memories which most people dont have since the V10 is primarily at least targeted towards the enthusiast/gamer and chances are that these people use high profile ram modules.

do i need to youtube video how to take them out my D9JNLM's pop out and you pull them out

 

[HellasVagabond]

The memories you have in your screenshot are LOW PROFILE memory modules without large heatsinks. I thought i was clear when i said that you can't pull out High Profile memory modules.

Better now ? Or perhaps you can beam them out of there...
