Thermaltake have launched a new D.I.Y water cooling kit into this ever growing market, and I have been asked by Thermaltake to review the new Pacific RL240 Water Cooling Kit from a case modders point of view.
I’ve been water cooling PC’s right from the infancy of water cooling. When it was only possible to obtain a water block! The Radiator, Pump, hose & fittings were all sourced by your own means. E.g. Fish pond pump, brass water or gas fittings, laboratory hose & any kind of heat exchanger you could lay your hands on! How things have moved on from those early days, there are now many different manufacturers producing a wide variety of water cooling kits & components.
Thermaltake’s Pacific RL240 Water Cooling Kit consists of everything you will need to install a CPU water cooling loop into your system. Taking a closer look Thermaltake have really given this kit some thought. I for one have always been very dubious of closed loop & water cooling kits; however I’ve been presently surprised with this offering from Thermaltake.
I’m going to look at each of the component parts briefly before assembling the Pacific RL240 into a Thermaltake Suppressor F51 chassis.
