And here are the test results:

There is nothing particularly surprising here. The Tribe doesn’t differ much from the Bigwater in the components employed, but the new fan and the uncommon position of the radiator affect the performance of the system negatively, so it does somewhat worse than the earlier-tested Bigwater. The Tribe, however, is beyond competition as concerns the ease of installation and filling because the external container can be placed just anywhere, it is very simple to fill the system up, and the whole installation procedure is as easy as mounting a water-block and connecting two pipes. Modders are going to appreciate the opportunity of easy replacement of any components in the external case.

Highs: Easy to install and fill up; original design; the main unit is external

Lows: Somewhat lower performance in comparison with the ordinary Bigwater; the external unit has to be placed somewhere, too

Conclusion: The Tribe is surely an interesting offer, but hardly a product for a mass user.

Average price: $150
