Thermaltake SpinQ @ Overclockers Online
February 5th, 2009
Comments Off
Thermaltake was pushing the boundaries of innovation when they
created the SpinQ, focusing on achieving the unique look rather than
performance. The performance isn’t but for its price, there are competitors
who can do much better. Nonetheless, the SpinQ is one of the most visually
entrancing coolers I’ve seen, making it the perfect upgrade for someone who
doesn’t care about the big OC numbers, but someone interested in modifying
their computer’s appearance to make coworkers point and stare.
Thermaltake V9 Black Edition @ Overclockers Online
February 3rd, 2009
Comments Off
I’ll admit I’m a junky for full tower cases as I love all the room they
have to offer. With that being said I was quite pleased overall with the mid
tower V9 Black Edition. I never felt cramped or had to contort my hands while
assembling the PC. The twin 230mm fans do a great job of keeping things cool and
the front 120mm also sports a red LED. The black powder coating really sets off
the interior and makes for a very attractive package.
CES 2009 – Thermaltake
January 15th, 2009
I didn’t schedule a meeting with our friends over at the Thermaltake booth this year, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t find time to stop by and check out their booth. Thermaltake must have a whole crew of product designers hidden in their factorys because as always they have a slew of new and upcoming products.
Thermaltake won an innovations award for their Speedo Chassis. I was also impressed with the look of the new Element Series Chassis. Thermaltake was showing off their new Xpressar refrigerated case. In their cooling line you will spot countless new heatsinks based on a new silent fan design, along with a collection of different additions to their water cooling line. Of course you also cant forget their new EVO Blue Gaming power PSU.
Thermaltake Big Water 760i
November 20th, 2008
For most people the thought of running water through a box full of electronics sounds crazy. If you can get over that, it’s most likely intimidating enough that you may never consider the option. Thermaltake designed a few water-cooling kits that are designed to be easy to install and good performing. One of those kits is their Big Water 760i kit. Thermaltake sent us one of the 760i’s for us to compare it to all of the heatsinks we have tested up until now, and to find out if they succeeded at making an easy to use Water Cooling kit to get you started with H2O.
