They mean BIGWATER

Thermaltake Bigwater 745 Liquid System
Thermaltake Bigwater 745 Liquid System

Pros: This is my first venture into water cooling, and I can't believe I wated this long. This kit is on a Asus A8N SLI Deluxe board for a AMD x2 4200 CPU. I used to have a Zalman cooler on it, and I was getting tempatures like around 38 degrees under idle and at times shot up to 62 degrees under load. With this kit, I'm getting temps like 34-35 degrees at idle and it peaks at 42 degrees under load. And it looks beatiful in my case.

Cons: Wasn't expecting it to be so LARGE. This is a monster. I wasn't able to mount the pump in my case like stated, and my video card barly fit, haveing the 120mm raditor in my case. I had to add about 100-200 cc of distilled water just to get the tank to the low level. Instruction booklet could be a little bit more technically versed insted of genaric, and some page number referances aren't even correct.

Overall Review: Newegg pulls through one more time:) Overall great product, just waiting on my GPU water block to complete it.

Best Ever!!!

Pros: Fastest thing that I have put my hands on. 4.83 oc 24/7 on corsair h80. idle - 35 and load - no more than 58 to 60 max.

Cons: Not really a con on the CPU, but there are adjustments on the P67 motherboards that will have you guessing for days.

Overall Review: Wish I could run 2 in a setup. My System: Intel I7-2600k @4.83 Asus Maximus IV Extreme P67 mobo 8 gigs of G-Skill Ripjaws X + Turbulence II Series DDR3-2200 OCZ 1250 Watt PSU 2x GTX 480's BluRay Burner 24in and 28in monitors

Pros: Amazing, just amazing, when finally tuned and set right. After ten years I updated my old Sony STR-DE935 5.1 receiver, and it was like music was new again. Internet connection to my 26k songs, up to 9.2, burr brown dac's, enough hdmi inputs for anybody, thx and isf certified.

Cons: First one was glitchy, so I rma'd it back to newegg. They were very helpful because I was just out of the 30 day return policy. Biggest complaint, if you want to bridge the front speakers, then you CANNOT run true 7.1. I knew that I would lose a channel to bridge my front speakers, but i would not have assumed that it would have been the rear 7.1 channel that you have to use.

Overall Review: Besides that, I have hears others with heat issues, so I hooked up a pair of pc 120mm fans in the back to keep it cool. All in all I love this receiver. I knew that I wanted to replace it then return it when i felt tat the first one was glitchy. I wouldn't trade this receiver for anything.
