 Introduction

The world of watercooling. A few years ago only the most extreme modders and PC enthusiasts were installing watercooling systems in gaming rigs. Now, many users are converting to watercooling to decrease the noise level and add that extra umph to a case mod.

Many modders part together a system from various manufacturers, but for the n00b modder this can be overwhelming. So manufacturers have created watercooling kits designed for the needs of PC enthusiasts. All-in-one, these kits include everything you need to get liquid in your case.

Thermaltake is one of the manufacturers that are designing watercooling kits. The new Bigwater kit by Thermaltake is the item up for review today.

First I would like to touch on the many individual uses for watercooling. Personally, the noise and aesthetics are the primary reasons for watercooling in my case mod. With five PCs in one room in Texas , this room gets hot and loud. Adding watercooling will hopefully reduce the noise level and assist with reducing temperatures overall. Other users focus on the performance aspect of watercooling. Users want the most out of an overclocked machine. I will focus this review for everyone; Not only touching on aesthetics and noise, but seeing how well temperatures are controlled while achieving the maximum overclock for my machine.
