Conclusion

The Thermaltake Bigwater 760 Plus is a good looking tidy unit that offers and easy and relatively quick setup. The product while running obviously is slightly noisier than an air cooler, but not much , not enough for your attention to be drawn to your case every second with annoyance. The 120 blue LED lit fan really add a great effect to the green UV sensitive tubing, making them glow allusive green from the light passing through, among other components around your case.

The unit can however big very noisy when the fan controller is turned up to high, this is mainly to increase airflow around the case and not purposely meant for a instant dramatic temperature drop, although it does takes the CPU temperature down by around 3c on average with a i7-2600K processor.

In terms of performance for the Bigwater 760 Plus, it done great. It took the CPU by the throat and cooled it down to a low 51c @ 3.4GHz Stock and 64c @4.2GHz Overclocked. Water are generally used specifically for users who tend to want a big overclock or just an overclock with safe temperatures in general, and even though on these result charts we have test 3 water coolers, the Thermaltake Bigwater has taken the lead over Antec’s latest liquid cooling models sufficiently.

Although one aspect to keep in mind is the pricing of course. Both 620 and 920 on Antec’s liquid cooling models are significantly cheaper at around £40-£50 at this time, and the Thermaltake Bigwater 760 Plus is priced at £97/$150. However for the extra price you are getting a much larger temperature drop.

Is it worth it?

We would have to say it could be priced slightly cheaper at around £52/$80 to make for a more alluring price, and attractive offer over other brands. However it is a super quick and easy install, absolutely fuss free, easy to refill and completely bundled in a small tidy 2 x 5.25” drive bay box.
