Thermaltake has announced its latest liquid cooling solution, the PW880i, and claims it will "get your PC in gear for the coming summer heat".

The PW880i, consisting primarily of a copper water block, a tank, a P500 pump (pictured) and a 24cm Motorsports Radiator (pictured), aims to offer effective heat dissipation for a system's CPU and supports mainstream sockets such as Intel's LGA775 and LGA1366, as well as AMD's AM2.

Unlike the recently-launched Corsair Hydro Series H50, an all-in-one easy-fit solution, Thermaltake's PW880i prioritises functionality and versatility. Thermaltake's solution allows for the pump to be installed inside a chassis, or outside along with the radiator, making it compatible with most enclosures.

Cooling the hefty radiator are dual 120mm fans, both of which are adjustable to operate at between 1,000 and 2,000RPM. Want more versatility? The PW880i can also be combined with a WB400 and WB200 to allow for liquid cooling of a system's VGA cards and North Bridge, too.

Thermaltake's yet to provide details of availability or pricing, but a video demonstration showing the PW880's multiple configuration options can be viewed below.

Had to cringe at the cheesy in/outro. Does look pretty useful - be interesting to see or read on how it performs. Any plans for a review?Quote

i have a thermaltake kandalf LCS with 3 120mm fans and while it does cool my q9550 its not hugely impressive. The cpu block is not that good at dissipating heat and the thermaltake pump just doesn't shift enough liquid around.

only reason i got mine was i love the case and i got it very cheap otherwise these are meant for people that are using them for basic setups i had to change all my tubing and really need a new pump res and cpu block to make mine hugely effective.Quote

I hate the pump on these new kits. The pump is noisy... Even if you get the fan to near silent, you will always hear this pump rattling away....Quote

This kit looks ridiculous. Almost as if 90% of the kit was an afterthought, "Oh well, lets just stack it all on the back!" :censored:Quote
