Included with the kit are two welll laid out manuals, one gives a complete layout in multiple languages, the other is all foreign languages. When you compare the manuals for both water cooling Kit the thumbs up goes to the thermaltake manual.
All of the hardware comes in two small packages, one of the packages is for the nuts and bolts to hold down the water block and second package is for the spring clamps to hold the tubing on.
Here is a picture of the one item I do wish the Cooler Master water cooling Kit, this is a quick disconnect that allows you to attach tubing o the end of the quick disconnect and the other end to the water block, then you can remove the water block without having to drain the entire system.
Here is a shot of the backer bar and the 3M insulating material that is placed against the motherboard to insure that nothing will cause a short against the metal of the bars.
Installation
Installation of the Thermaltake 760i Water cooling kit is very similar to the Cooler Master Aquagate Max, as far as which one is easier to install the reward goes to Cooler Master. If you remember on the Cooler Master setup all that was required was to place the backer plate behind the motherboard, then screw the mounting brack down onto the backer plate. Where as on the Thermaltake you have to start by inserting a very longbolt through each of the opening and then the boook instructs you to thread a stand-off on the bolt after you have added a washer to protect yourr motherboard. The problem I ran into was the supplied standoffs did not allow the bolt to thread all the through them so looking at the picture to can see what I did, and that was add my own washer to hold the bolts in the upright positition. Then you place the water block on to the four bolts and then attach the water block byplacing the knurled knobs
In this photo we are just ready to button the hatches down and see how this build compares with the prior unit we reviewed.
