8/4/2017: I notice some guys misunderstanding my meaning, I'm not complaining about the difficulties that come up when building a custom loop, but instead complaining Thermaltake being a d*ck head making crappy products.
That title up there, has a reason to exist. I know this has been a fact for a long time, but I want to mention for those who don't know, thermaltake radiators are made up of Aluminium, and the water blocks aren't, they are full copper. As a previously kind customer of thermaltake, I am very upset that they do this and the corrosion eventually killed my pump, making my main PC failed to work correctly due to thermal shutdown.
Thermaltake coolants are another problem, those are just purely water and coloring, nothing else. Although being safer to have less material involved in coolants, thermaltake decided to use the coloring that will turn back into powder and will gunk up any system using it.
If you're unfortunate enough, like me, that used products in both problems mentioned, the result would be:
1. CPU Block gunk up, not reusable due to corrosion
2. Radiator not reusable due to corrosion (It happened to both my RL240 and RL360)
3. The pump would die either due to component corrosion or being gunked by the coolant residues.
4. The coolant in your whole system turns pale or even yellowish and become extremely smelly.
5. Residues produced by the coolant decreased heat transferring capability and heat dissipating ability, which become very obvious when it comes to my overclocked 1700x.
And the result above actually explains several problems which many youtubers that used thermaltake products had experienced, such as coolant color fading, pump died, and even freaking residues visible that flow around the whole loop.
P.S. Not to mention that the corrosion also kills fittings' internal layer of metal.
God damn it Thermaltake, the freaking cheap Asian company that had stolen me more than 600 bucks. I buy their products just because it's the only company that has reseller in my place. :/
