Titan TWC-A04 v2.0 (Nikita)

The second water-cooling system from Titan tested in our labs is TWC-A04 v2.0 or Nikita. Unlike the previous system, this one is parceled into a larger box which is an indication of a higher status of the product.

And here’s what we found inside:

The kit is smugly packed in foam-rubber inserts to prevent any damage during transportation. The main system component is a plastic box with a control/indication panel and a fill-up opening. Unlike the previous system, the Nikita can be installed either outside or inside the system case, occupying two 5.25” bays in it.

At the unit’s back panel there are fittings for the pipes, a power connector, a socket to connect the external radiator’s fan and the thermal sensor.

To make sure the performance of the system would be high the developers added an external radiator to it. This small thing with a copper pipe and aluminum ribs is cooled with an 80mm fan. The manufacturer recommends putting it on the back panel of your PC case.
