Thermaltake Pacific RL240 Wasserkühlung-Kit

like others, my reservoir cracked where the set screws are. leaks ensued...... rather than rma, whining, or whatever else, i went ahead and bought a bitspower d5 block, and a bitspower screw locking reservoir rather than holes, o rings, and hex set screws. modded it all and viola! everything is groovy now. the pump chirps now and then but i am not having flow issues over a year later. idling at 27c load doom ultra settings for an hour, 34c on a gtx 980. running an rl 240, rl 120, pt20 modded into a res for silver bar to keep water clean along with the d5. realistically, it was still worth the dough considering the components being individually purchased from alphacool, or pitspower cost more. all in all, it needs a little improvement which i have already seen on the new tt model.

So all in all the kit is great. I loved the power of the pump and the ease to setup the system. Felt this was a great buy but the reservoir is trash. My suggestion is to buy this kit, take off the pump and buy a better reservoir. That's the only part that felt kinda cheep and guess what!? it's the only part that broke. I purchased it on 7/2/15. I have to break the system down this weekend and submit for a RMA but I don't know if I want a second reservoir thats plastic that may just crack again... I got lucky and it only spilled a little. That little was on the power cord of my GTX 980 Ti. <_< I have my eye on a glass reservoir from XSPC with a D5 pump mount. Was going to swap pump and just toss the reservoir.

Im just glad I was able to return it for a full refund...

Very disappointed in this. At about $300 I expected better. The screws that attach the water block to the CPU are extremely easy to strip out. There was no reason for this to crack. It had not been disassembled, there was no stress on the tubing or the reservoir. Once it had been installed the case was not opened again until the leak was discovered. I am VERY fortunate that it did not leak (or spray) over my components as I have well over $5000 invested in this setup.

I had the loop running perfect for about four days. I woke up to it leaking all over the table. I noticed it was leaking where the reservoir met the pump so I took the reservoir off. It was then that I noticed a half inch long crack at the edge of the reservoir. I decided to add a bit of epoxy to the crack and it did work for another few days. Bottom line is that when comparing the way that this reservoir is mounted to the pump to other brands its just not the best way I have seen.
