Water Cooling

The case provides a hydraulic opening for its side panel, really impressive. The water cooling kit that comes with VB5001SNA model uses two 120-mm fans and a big 220 mm x 270 mm (8.66” x 10.63”) radiator.

The radiator, the fans, the reservoir and the pump of the water cooling system are located on the case side door.

On Figure 6 you can see the CPU block, which is made of copper and has a transparent acrylic cover that glows blue when the system is turned on. On the same figure you can see that the video card used has also a water cooler block. This block, however, doesn’t come with the system, and Thermaltake installed it just to show us Tai-Chi working with all the features it can provide.

On Figure 6 you can also see that this case uses plastic clips for holding expansion boards, so you can install and remove daughter boards without using a screwdriver.
