Introduction:


Thermaltake 760i BigWater Liquid Cooling System

Current processors are using less power than ever. That low power consumption is only rivaled by the fact there are two or more cores. If it weren't for those mulit-core processors, we could almost return to completely passive heat sinks. It's definitely easy to spot the better CPU coolers given that heat pipes are the standard.

However, the exemplary CPU coolers have quite a lengthy bit of heat pipes machined to fit certain shapes and sizes all hanging over your CPU. Some users don't mind these CPU coolers while others still like something a bit quieter and as cool as possible. This brings back, yet again, to liquid cooling.

Because thermal issues are a bit more manageable, it doesn't take a huge amount of liquid cooling unless you have a Core 2 Quad Extreme in which case, just a very capable radiator is necessary to dissipate the heat. And given the better liquid cooling designs, it's also easier to integrate liquid cooling systems in to something less intrusive or obtrusive.

Thermaltake understands this concept very well. They've been building computer cases for quite sometime and have found the proverbial sweet spot for offering really sweet cases with integrated liquid cooling systems (LCS) like that found in the Gandalf series. For users who don't need the integrated cooling, they offer units like the 760i BigWater or the 780e BigWater. Today, the 760i BigWater is on the test bench. Have a look and see how this one compares to other water cooling.
