Introduction

I would like to thank Thermaltake for providing us the review kit.

We are going to take a look at a new Water Cooling Kit from Thermaltake. They have been producing products for computer enthusiast since 1999. This new kit named the Big Water 745 is a revised version of the Big Water produced earlier by Thermaltake. Some knocks on the previous Big Water was that it was to small with its 1/4" ID tubing, to the smaller pump housed in the reservoir and just toward kits in general. Its performance was slightly better than a really good air cooler. Mainly for those new to water-cooling the first Big Water was a great kit to get your feet wet. I used the Big Water myself to cool my Dothan processor with great results.

The new Big Water 745 now sports 3/8" ID tubing along with a larger pump and liquid tank. The kit also includes two radiators with the original Big Water single rad design still being used and with the additional dual 120mm external radiator. From the larger tubing size to a small change in the design of the copper waterblock this kit looks to be a great addition to the Thermaltake product line.
