Anyone got a Reserator add-on fan?

has anyone got one of these? Or has anyone seen any reviews of it at all? Would be interested to know how noisy it is and how much it helps cooling?

thanks

i use one on mine, since its comes with a fanmate speed control thingy, decibel wise it goes from silent to whisper quiet, and as far as cooling goes the whole tank is cold to the touch after about a half hour of it being on as apposed to room temperature, and my 3.4 p4 dual core went from 25 idle to 20, my GF6800XT's from 51 to 44. so there is an obvious difference and for the noise aspect and price you may aswell, i didnt even install mine for about a week until i looked into 'em further!

Yep got 1...but have not installed the Water cooling yet and i think i will have to spray paint it black as io dont like the clear plastic.

thanks for the feedback guys, it's appreciated. I haven't seen much talk of them, but might get one ordered at some point since in the summer it might help me keep temps down

it will always be room temperature AT THE COLDEST... it must have been above room temperature before, but now closer too it

I made my own ages ago, didnt quite look as good as the official though

I just rolled up some card to the same diameter as the resorator. Put a card lid on one end, cut a hole, and glue-gunned a fan on. The card tube was about an inch shorter than the total length of the resorator. I found i got better temp reductions when the tube was full length of the resorator, pulling the air up the whole length and out the top.
