Thermaltake Tribe Water Cooling Kit

Performance

As I said, I've never really tried any water cooling solutions before.  Since that's the case, I don't really have another water kit that I can compare with.  With this said, we are going to compare the Tt Tribe with the nPower NPHK8-2 to give us some perspective on performance.

To test the different options, the system was brought up, and allowed to idle for 10 minutes.  We brought the system under full load for 20 minute intervals using Stanford's Folding@Home client.  The load temperature was taken at the end of these intervals, and the system was allowed to idle for another 10 minutes.  The idle temperatures were taken at the end of that period.  This was done five times.  The high and low scores were discarded and the average was taken of the remaining three.  The ambient room temperature for these tests was approximately 23.5C.
