Thermaltake Kandalf LCS VD4000 review

Watercooling

The Pump and reservoir combo are to be attached to the bottom of the case, where there are a lot of holes for this purpose. It will not be difficult to find a good spot for it and secure it to the case. The box with the watercooling supplies also contains the CPU block and brackets for both socket 775 and AM2, as well as material to use the block in a BTX setup. The hose isof the UV reactive kind, a total of 2 meters is supplied. This might sound a lot however if you cool one GPU and the CPU there is no room for error in cutting it to size. When the user would want to cool two graphics cards and the chipset as well the 2 meters is definitely not enough. The two bottles of liquid is more then enough, after filling the system we still had almost a full bottle left.

All the connections on the pump and the radiator are marked clearly, so making a mistake in connecting them is almost impossible. All hoses are connected through the "quick connection" system, making it fool proof and easy to install.

The table below shows all the features of the case..
