Hello All
Picked up some nice gear from my mate which never got round to using it. I got a Zalman Reserator with some Fluid XP liquid.
Before i began i read many reviews and found one little tip that I thought I would give a go. Anyway i got it all fitted, made the modification I wanted and added the liquid. I made the tubing come in from a top pci slot, into the cpu, out the cpu, onto the gpu, out the gpu and back out the case on a middle pci slot level with the gpu block. It seems to have worked well and my temps have dropped by 10C on both the cpu and gpu while lowering my system noise level alot. The Reserator itself is totally silent and I will leave it pumping 24/7.
Here are some pictures:
You can see on this image the modification I did, I got the idea off a review to lead a piece of pipe from the inbound valve on the pump to the top of the reserator so that all the cool water going outbound was at the bottom and all the hot water coming inbound was pumped to the top.
This is the liquid I used, I used 2 and a half bottles (2.5 litres) and this filled the reserator about 3/4 full once the tubes were filled.
Comments Welcome.
Thanks, Sam

He's adding fans now though (a bunch of deltas, he got em for $2 each, he'll tell us what he thinks of the site once he gets them)
Insane temps for passive
