Cooling: Thermaltake Aquarius II :: Features

The Aquarius II can be had as either a kit by itself or bundled with the Thermaltake Xaser II chassis (which is a rebadged Chieftec SOHO server case). Seeing as how I already have the Chieftec case, I only needed the kit, which came in a very nicely designed and sturdy box, and has the following features:

• Model A1604
• AMD K-7/K-8, Intel Socket 478/370 application

Water block

• Dimensions: 70x50x12mm
• Machined copper block with nickel plating
• Interior: 3D water channel
• Weight: 266g

This has got to be the smallest water block I've seen. All copper with a nickel coating. The base is not super mirrored, but it did not require lapping. The inside is designed so that water flows in what Thermaltake calls a 3D channel. Here are a couple of pictures of the block that I have and one from Thermaltake showing the interior.

Radiator

• Material: Copper pipe with staged copper fins
• Total dimensions: 86x130x89mm
• Fan: 80x80x25mm
• Ball bearing fan rated at 2400 +/- 10% RPM
• Life expectancy: 50,000 hours
• Noise level: 22 dBA
• Air Flow: 38.4 CFM
• Weight: 410g
• 3-pin motherboard connector

It looks just like a miniature of a car radiator. It is very well made with all copper construction. Check out these pics:

Water Pump (12v DC)

• Dimensions: 100x50x86mm
• Water pressure: 1.2 kg/cm2
• Pump speed: 90 L/hr (Liters per hour) or 23.8 GPH (gallons per hour)
• Bearing type: Ceramic
• Life expectancy: 50,000 hours
• Noise level: 20 dBA
• Weight: 230g
• Blue LED
• 3-pin motherboard connector

The pump is very lightweight, and it has two white plastic balls inside so that you can see the water moving, and a cool blue LED.
