A feature on the 850i that was absent from other Thermaltake kits is the flow meter. As we'll see later in the review, it's a small device that is inserted between two sections of tubing to let you know coolant is moving through. Speaking of tubing, there's plenty of it provided – Thermaltake almost always provides more accessories than are needed, and that's a good thing. Another plus about this kit is that the pump can accommodate additional waterblocks for video cards, chipsets, or whatever else might need cooling.
PRODUCT COMPOSITION
The packaging is fairly nice; definitely more colorful than what I've come to expect from Thermaltake. The front of the box has a large cutout in the center giving the buyer a preview of the radiator and pump. Everything is neatly and securely arranged inside with thick foam separating the parts.
Mounting hardware is included to make this kit compatible with all of the latest AMD and Intel processors. A bottle of coolant, flow meter, tubing, screws, PCI bracket for running tubes outside the case, iStripe (more on this later) and an instruction manual in several languages round out the accessories. Let's take a closer look at the main components.
