How are you liking the Thermaltake BigWater 760? I dislike mine.

I like it so far. One thing I have noticed is that the coolant level seems to go down really quick. I am taking notes on the level, and if I have to continue to replenish the coolant every three weeks, then I may move to a different solution, because I don't want to have to re fill it this quick. The refill frequency I'm comfortable with is 4-6 months.

Why don't you like yours'? I don't know of anyone else using the BigWater 760i to cool a 3770K, so I'm not certain of whether my temperatures are good. It may be that I need to reseat it.

That little tube for the water path thru the mosfet heatsink is really restrictive and you have max airflow from all the fans, so it could be you'll get better temps with just the cpu in the loop due to improved flow rate, and the mosfets air coooled.
On the flip side, if the temps were worse, you'd know the thermal fusion block was doing as much to cool the water as the Big Water, lol.
Would be worth a try anyway, and would yield some good info on the effects of the thermal fusion setup.
Very clean looking rig by the way.

Thanks for the suggestions, Darlene. I will try to check this out when I have time in the future and report back.

My coolant level is about right and stays where it's supposed to. The one problem I have is that the pump introduces too much turbulance in the tiny reservoir and continually introduces air to my line. Thankfully, it likes to collect in my drain pipe, for some strange reason.

I dislike it because it seems unnecessarily big, hard to use, and in the way. It's also the loudest thing in my computer right now. I don't regret getting it, though. It was a nice steppingstone into real water cooling. I bought it, a cpu block (because the supplied one doesn't fit LGA 2011) and an additional rad, because I needed something fast. Now that I understand liquid cooling systems way better, I'll replace it soon with a real pump and reservoir.

From Phantom to 410? or 410 to Phantom? If the former, there is a 410 club on OCN that will probably be more excited. Not that we aren't happy for you. biggrin.gif
