It's about time they released those. I was waiting and Thermaltake kept saying "soon, soon".

The Kandalf is an amazing case IMHO. I cannot complain about any of the Thermaltake products that I am a proud owner of.

I am actually looking for a nice watercooler for the Memory, GPU's, North/South Bridges, and HDD's. Because you can't freeze those to -40C. The Hard Drives will fail to operate below like 10C or something like that.

system memory?

and do you know when the AquaBays will be out, if they are not already. And are they supposed to be good?

thought you can only WC the NB. not the South Bridge.

I am going Thermaltake for my CPU and GPU. I dont know what to do for chipset. My ideas may change again though. Who knows?


The Kandolf is the same thing as the armor just w/ a different front. It looks to me the Armor has more airflow because it is open in the front.

The doors come off the Kandalf. And yes the system memory.

The Asus A8N-SLI Premium has a heatpipe on the chipset because it gets so freaking hot. I'll just get some thermal adhesive and throw a waterblock on it.

I'm just going to go with a Lebiert 20ton mission critical AC unit aimed right at the side of the case and call it a day. :twisted:

Hey, I know this might sound like a dumb question, but can a computer ever be too cold? I mean like, If you leave it in your un-insulated garage in -10 degree weather?

Yes, there are many components on a computer than can get too cold.
Hard Drives, Memory, Optical & Floppy drives, even the motherboard itself.

Hard drives for instance cannot operate below 40°F, but can be stored non-operational down to -40°F.

There is also the problem of condensation when extreme heat and cold mix together that could cause problems.

I just call them. They never respond to E-mails and I prefer actually talking to a human being.

I can't find the environmental tolerences of AMD Processors, all I see is a max temperature of 70°C. I would venture a guess of -120°C being the absolute limit I would cool a processor dowm to. I could be way off though, I'm too hung over to look right now.
