Let’s now see what is inside the main casing:

 

The huge radiator – as radiators of off-the-shelf water-cooling systems go – is cooled with five 120mm fans! I haven’t seen anything like that before. The fans are the same width as the radiator and are placed at a distance of a couple of centimeters between each other.

 

So, we’ve got five fans and ten copper pipes, each nearly 1 meter long and with dense aluminum ribbing:

This system should definitely perform better than average. The pipes have special fittings for easy connection to the tower.

  

The user just has to install the water-block, take the pipes out of the PC case, connect them to the tower and connect power (a bracket and cable like the ones included in the Tribe kit are used for that). It’s easy to fill the system up: just pour the coolant into the expansion tank and pump the system up by turning it on and off again until the coolant begins to trickle into the tank from the radiator.

Then leave the system working for 10-15 minutes so that it could pump out all the air, and then add more coolant if necessary.
