This is exactly why

There blocks crack out and leak, the pumps are underpowered and die a lot, the rads are aluminium and will cause galvanic corrosion with copper blocks, and they cool no better then a average HSF.

There known rig killers with no advantage over a HSF, I've lost track of how many guys have come through here that have had major problems with them.

If money is tight get a Via Aqua 1300 pump and a Bonnie heater core for a rad with a decent block, for about the same price as the TT kit you would have a decent cooling WC'ing rig.

I've had a Thermaltake kit for 3 years.
The pump (yes it is sluggish) and rad (the fins are aluminum, but the pipes are copper) haven't failed me thus far.
But the CPU block cracked recently, and before that the GPU block, back when I had one (what was I thinking).
Back then I had an Athlon 64 Clawhammer, it was the fastest CPU for the 754 socket and you could grill ribs on it. When I first installed the Tt loop it dropped the temp from around 70C to 40C at full load.

That being said, I hate it. And I am quite sick of it. Mainly because its not cheap at all, Tt didn't market it as an affordable alternative, No, I got it because I thought I was buying the "good stuff". Both the block and pump sell for about the same as their counterparts from other brands. Thats why I am gradually replacing everything with "real" quality parts.
