Is this worth keeping?

[Mr. Smiley]

I found this water cooling package at a surplus/flea market style store this weekend and I am considering keeping it if it doesn't sell in the next few weeks. But do any of you have an experience with thermaltake watercooling stuff, and is it worth keeping and buy soft line to replace the hard line in the kit as I have no way to bend the hardline.  This is the kit I picked up.

 

Thermaltake RL240 D5 Hardline

Yeah 

I would check for any leaks before you put it in a system tho

You probably don't want to buy a soft tubing kit as it might not work... Bending hard tubes just relies on some heat and patience. There's probably some guides out there. Anyhow, Thermaltake isn't bad with it's liquid cooling. They're somewhat reliable, and quality is ok. I personally would go with EKWB, but if you already have that kit, you might as well use it.

I would say certainly, it has a D5 pump and the radiator is a high fin count so it can dissipate more heat for it's size, looks pretty thick too so it'll dump enough heat for pretty much any cpu. Looks like a really cool little kit, in hind sight I probably should have gone with something like this instead of a full custom loop as sorting through all of the information is rather difficult.  I actually built one loop and then redid it because I didn't realize that the tubing was so small.  This kit has 16mm tubing so it will look good.  Plus you can still add on to it like gpu block, fill and drain port, flow meter, coolant temp sensors, silver plug's etc.  This is way nicer than an AIO if you want some DIY thrown in.

 

edit: oh yeah, gonna need some tools for bending, they make kit's.  Go check out performance pc's website

That was my plan.  Sell this kit and then use the money to go buy the EK aluminum kit that comes with a CPU and GPU block and run that so the whole system is under water.  I would also add an additional 240 rad to that setup as well as I don't think a single 240 rad would cool and overclocked 1700x and 1080ti

Yeah, the radiator is massive, don't even know if it will fit in my case.  But I will have to see if it is worth keeping and buying the extra things I would need to finish the loop, like all the things you mentioned plus the tools to bend the tubing. I would also need to grab an AM4 bracket from thermaltake.

no thanks, id rather not have a fountain in my computer
