Conclusion

What to make of the Raijintek Triton? In sooth the the product does exactly what it says on the tin and more. The overall presentation of the product is a wonder to behold and the build quality is simply outstanding. To add to this is that the Triton itself is expandable and if the consumer does not like the fluid that comes bundled with the product then one can quite easily change for another such as the rather wonderful Mayhem’s X1 range of fluids.

All this awesomeness would not be without its faults and that would be due to the issue of the compression fittings being ‘glued’ in and not just by a simple thread. This limits its ‘expansion’ potential a great deal and though we do see the need for Raijintek to take this approach ( in order to stop ambitious novices from breaking the product) it does however alienate the more advanced users. The good news is that a modification enthusiast can simply heat up the glue carefully in order to remove the compression fittings for those with a wide tubing support. Speaking of the fittings, we do feel that the Triton would have been better served if they were black however in fairness this is just nit-picking.

The Raijintek Triton is a great performer and outstripping the Thermaltake product and eclipsing the much hyped Corsair H100 by the narrowest of margins. Now adding the expansion potential, fluid changing features and overall aesthetics and build quality over the Corsair H100 then this product does have a lot going for it indeed. If this were not enough the Raijintek Triton is currently priced over £30 less than the Corsair H100 and that is indeed the deal maker.

Pros:

Expandable (see also cons)
Quality Construction.
Presentation.
Ease of use/ Build.
Performance.
Cost effective.

Cons:

Compression fittings are glued in.

Here we pride ourselves on being very ‘stingy’ with our gold awards and many a manufacturer have said that obtaining these from us is like getting hold of rocking-horse dung. However the Triton has really well and truly earned its place in our ‘gold’ hall of fame with a 9.0 out of ten.
