Thermaltake Bigwater vs Thermalright True

What everyone's said is correct. The BigWater kits are renowned for their poor performance and awful reliability. The TRUE would be cheaper, better looking and it'd perform better.

Pretty much a no-brainer if you ask me, go for the TRUE, or the Megahalems if you can find it.

Any prebuilt water cooling kit is very unreliable, generally speaking. There are the few exceptions of custom-built kits by companies such as PetraTech or DangerDen or Swiftech, but generally anything like that is awful.

With water cooling, you need to make a custom kit yourself, for that you need the following parts:

Pump
CPU Block
Reservoir or T-Line
Radiator
Tubing
Fans
Barbs
Coolant

And that's for a minimalistic setup.

Will perform slightly behind, but will be quieter.

It has been proven to be quite good, but don't quite believe the review of it beating the Megahalems and TRUE, it will be slightly behind but a lot quieter and smaller, but I've heard of mixed results.

Please don't hijack another's thread like this. Post your own thread in the Intel CPUs section.

Should I buy the Corsair H50 for a more quite systeem? or a TRUE for like 3 degrees lower temps?

Quote:
To be honest I'd buy the cheaper one, so in this case: The H50.

Like I said in another post, I've heard of mixed results. In some cases it performs better, in some cases it performs worse, having not tried both myself, I can't base a personal opinion therefore have to go on what I've heard.
