Earlier this year I had the opportunity to review the Thermaltake BigWater Liquid Cooling System.
Thermaltake has been adding to its list of new items for use with this system. I recently received
Thermaltake's Volcano 4005 Heat Exchanger for review. They hail it as "the most advanced Liquid CPU
Waterblock available to date." Thermaltake's new waterblock is meant to be a direct replacement for
any waterblock, not just the Thermaltake BigWater cooling system. Is the most advanced waterblock
really much better than a standard waterblock? Yes...and No.
