Thermaltake Tribe AMD Athlon & Intel Pentium 4 water cooler system

Great idea for a design is the Tribe but let down by such a low power water pump. While the Thermaltake Tribe design might not be to your personal taste it will appeal to a lot of people because the Tribe is different and attractive but the poor cooling performance lets it down.

I can't believe this. They still use the simple, old maze design. There are a lot, more efficient, designs than that.

Same for the pump, it just looks weak (that's probably why they have choosen the non-restrictive maze).

But then again, it's budget (hope so, don't know the price) for a reason
