Thermaltake BigWater 760is – Liquid Cooling Kit Review

Conclusion

Liquid cooling your PC components will seem like an extremely challenging task at first, but the ThermalTake BigWater 760is makes it easy. With a simplified installation and a very efficient design, this product is all a first-timer could ever ask for.

While costing around US $150, which is quite a bit more than most high-end air coolers, the BigWater 760is is equal to the challenge of justifying why you should spend that extra to get this kit. Outperforming high-end air coolers is just part of the fun, the other things like improved overclocking headroom and of course bragging rights (“I just liquid cooled my CPU!”), are simply priceless.

Pros:

• Easy installation
• Decent price/performance ratio
• Compact (takes up only 2 drive bays)
• Expandable (other blocks can be added)
• Blue LEDs (may be a con for some persons)
• Changeable 120mm fan (may fix blue LED issue)
• NO LEAKS!! (your mileage may vary)

Cons:

• Front bezel may not line up well (mounting cut-out not long enough)
• Fan is loud at maximum
• Fan speed rheostat (controller) is located inside
• No on/off switch for the blue LEDs

The ThermalTake BigWater 760is gets my full recommendation and is this Editor’s Choice for cooling my CPU.
