I can only speak for myself, but, welcome to our forum :D I think having a direct link to a manufacturer such as Thermaltake can only be a good thing for all involved :thumbsup:

One thing that I would really like to see are more reviews on Tt enthusiast grade products, such as your new line of PSUs. I'd like to know how they stack up not only to the competition in their price range, but also the competition in the wattage area as well. I almost bought a 1050watt a few weeks ago, but decided to wait cause I'm broke :P Still, would be nice to have a form of reference.

Advance notice of new products would be nice as well :D

:thumbsup:

We are working on getting direct user reviews information along with media reviews available.

We want you guys to not only have media reviews but direct feedback from your peers as to how they feel about a product so you can see the quality and performance from someone you know uses it the same way you will.

Thank you for the feedback

Please continue on anything else you may have for us as well.

I have to admit, I never have used your cooling products absed on reviews and or friends I have alway had a reason to go in a different direction.

Where does TT see it self in the the high end air arena.

1. On top
2. Competetive
3. Still learning
4. Does not try to compete at the top

Now a teammate is there I plan on giving TT coolers a shot, and use the mid range product line for grinders and gaming builds for friends and such.

Have been using the CM 212 as a staple based on price preformance, so next build as stated in another thread I will give the 30 a shot and see if it has the moxy the 212 has shown,and hopefully see better preformance............ :thumbsup:

If you check most reviews of the Thermaltake Frio OCK you will see its a top performer.

and we have some cool products coming out like the all in one liquid cooler that many have seen that also performs very well.

PM me your shipping info, and i will let you know if we have that clip available.

If we do I will ship you a replacement directly.

Thank you

No problem,

I will be in PDXLAN tomorrow thru next monday so I will not be able to get this going until next week.

Does thermaltake have an notion of joining the extreme cooler ranks with Tt Dry Ice/ LN2 pots?

I think throwing some more effective and inexpensive pots would get more people into the hobby. A la the Koolance V1 and V2.

Working with some of the extreme cooling guys, you might be able to come up with a new cost efficient base to mass produce them at a much better price point :)

At this point, Koolance is the only competition, but I just cant see spending almost $200 on a DIce pot when for ~$50 more I can get a pot that does much better with LN2.

(Not that I get to do either lately :( )

No plans presently but I have presented the idea.

The issue is a good design we all know design is key to a good pot or one that is just regular and nothing special.

MaadDaawg 07-19-2011 07:46 AM

My guess is that the numbers aren't sufficient for a company such as Termaltake to mass produce LN2 pots, but they could go a long way in improving their water cooling hardware. Bigger customer base though lots of competition already :P

We are already working on Liquid cooling solution Optimization and as soon as I have a sample that performs to my expectations for the price point I will post the information here if you would like.

One thing to remember is that depending upon price point then comparisons can be made but not just on performance but also other features such as some of the Bigwater series which are basically entry level DIY liquid coolers however if your looking for something you can overclock to the moon then you could either add on extra rads to the Bigwater unit or you could take the next step into a Fully custom loop depending on your individual needs.

marcam923 07-19-2011 10:22 AM

I think this is a great resource, glad to have you aboard the forums. Direct user reviews of some new products will go a long way in the community, and across many communities.

It is one thing to have a review posted from a trusted, or known source, another to have one of your brethren say this is the only "X product" I will use! :good:

Well we would like to see exactly what you the end user group likes the product when you use it the way you do.

The media is an important source as well, but you guys will be the ones using it so I wanna know exactly what you think.

What is the companies position on extreme water cooling, AKA "Fully custom loop".
Not knowing the product line that well as frankly never gave it chance, I am curious to see if you are going after the novice or the extreme and if the latter what parts are coming and how efective will they be going nose to nose with companies making high end water CPU and GPU parts?

Honestly higher end CPU/GPU parts are readily available from many manufacturers who have perfected their design. When it comes to Extreme custom water loops I do not see Thermaltake producing that sort of product in the near future. But nothing is impossible and if there is a need and a market we may very well find a way to add whatever we can to that need.

the short of it most likely not at this time... however if we can get the DIY and entry level parts working excellently and you guys like them then it could definitely lead to more elaborate designs in the future.

Witchdoctor 07-19-2011 11:39 AM

Fair enough, Hoping to see a closed loop H100 competetor with eaqual or better preformance.

There is a huge market out there for such a product as many just starting out would rather leave the joints to the factory....

Best of luck, developing these types of systems I can only imagin is big bucks with R&D, testing & marketing

ahh... I see you mean a closed loop setup.... We are always looking into higher performance versions to expand the performance and flexibility.

I will let you guys know what we can come up with.

MaadDaawg 07-19-2011 12:44 PM

It's Tuesday nite dude, hope ya got directions :confused2:

thebanik 07-19-2011 10:45 PM

Will TT be looking for distri's in India???? I can ask a few of my contacts to get in touch with you if TT would be interested. They would be pretty big and experienced distributor with complete National network, National Distri for AMD, MSI, CoolerMaster, Razer, GSkill, alongiwith sub-distri for almost all other major brands in India
If yes, how and where should I ask them to contact you????

I will check with my sales team to see what they have in place or what they have planned for your area.

i will let you know on this.

Nice work banik... hope you get some schwag outta it...

Bones 07-21-2011 02:22 PM

Just throwing in here.
I have three of the Tt Extreme Spirit II chipset coolers and I'll say these are the best I've ever seen for aircooling useage and I've had my fair share of coolers to use with a chipset.

Quiet running, good sturdy design that's easy to work with and really sucks up the heat and moves it along.

Each time I had suggested one of these to someone they were impressed with it's performance and how quiet it was doing it's "Thing".
I currenly use these with my OC'ing on air and with the versatility these have I can use them on a wide variety of chipsets, anything from NF2, NF3, NF4, VIA, Intel or even SiS chipsets.
I've never had anything that worked so well across so many platforms before.

In fact I just recently used one of these to win a class at the bot for the May dual Socket A challenge and ran one of these with my A7M's AMD 762 chipset - Took the win and the cooler really helped the chipset to stay cool and run like I needed it to.

I'm wondering if there are any plans to make a sucessor to the ESII. Would be great if there are plans or maybe even to make these once more. I know if these came back into production I'd buy several more.

Thank you very much for the feedback, I will check if those are planning to be replaced or if more will be produced.

I will let you know whatever I can.

i do know that despite the performance the amount sold was quite low which could definitely affect things.... as you know being a business means if it doesnt sell well sometimes it gets the axe.

and while I wish more people were enthusiasts by nature and learned how their stuff worked by taking it apart and overclocking and installing better coolers. honestly alot wont.

A QUESTION
 
I just searched the egg for "FRIO" just out of curiosity on what my perception would be in comparing it to the new Swiftech cooler. Perception created by taking in visual information of each and performing airflow and thermodynamic transfer calculations in my mind :D

Noticed for the first time there are two Frios, one with the white 120mm fans and one with blue 130mm fans.

My analysis indicates that the original Frio and the Swiftech would perform roughly on par, but the new Frio did not create the same thermodynamic capaility due to it's inline heat pipe configuration. The blue Frio is therefore relying more on the transfer capabilities of the fins rather than exposing all the pipes to the Delta of the jetstream of the two fans :D

Aside from all the BS above, why did they change the nice staggered heatpipe config for the old inline heatpipe config?

The inline heatpipe configuration was found to work best for the design.

MaadDaawg 08-01-2011 11:07 AM

That's interesting because it would seem intuitively that the more air blown on the pipes the better the cooling :Dizzy: Glad I didn't buy one of those other spread out ones - tks for the feedback

The Frio OCK is one of the top performing Air coolers at this time. We tried to keep the size somewhat manageable while still offering excellent performance which of course meant higher speed fans as well.

but to handle the heatload the OCK can handle you kind of have to expect some noise, or gain a few degrees on loaded temps and you can crank the fans down significantly.... its kinda a trade off :thumbsup:

if you win one of the top 3 spots in the present running contest you can win a frio to play with :Hi:

MaadDaawg 08-01-2011 11:21 AM

I used to use 2 delta very high speed fans on my Noctua years ago when air cooling was all I had, so noise isn't an issue for me :D Not looking too promising for me at this point, but, never can tell .. lol

Thanks
