Thermaltake Big Water Liquid CPU Cooler Review :: The Unit

Fill Kit

Neon Tubing

The Big Water comes in a kit that has the necessary parts to install a liquid CPU cooler on an LGA775 P4 or AMD Athlon 64/64-FX ZIF socket motherboard. All the required components are included including the fill kit and the manual, although the manual is so small you can barely discern what it has to say and that can become a pain to those not so mechanically inclined. The screws clamps and locking bars all come in a plastic bag and there is enough neon colored tubing to use in any size case. Also included in the kit is the unit own cooling fluid solution that comes in a little green plastic bottle. The Big Water comes with enough liquid to get the job done. There is a little extra in the bottle in case you spill some when trying to fill and drain the unit.

There is the pump assembly, the radiator, the copper water block and all the appropriate brackets for installation, and finally a fan controller bracket that allows you to change how fast or slow the fan spins on the radiator assembly. The fan controller bracket occupies one slot on the rear of your enclosure and has an adjustment knob for controlling the fan speed. You can purchase the kit for various sockets and platforms for either the AMD or the Intel platforms depending on your needs. One unique thing I really liked about the Big Water kit was the fact that the copper water block lights up blue when the system is on and it looks cool as well adding another visual aspect to the kit. Filling the tubes with the included liquid turns the tubes a neat green color too, also adding more visual appeal. The kit itself is not that big and comes in a small box so there are not that many parts to deal with. You get what you need and that is about it, but you do not need anything else to make the kit complete so nothing to worry about there.
