Dual Reserator Loop?

JustinB · 24 Jan 2006 at 18:03

I have a reserator 1 plus and was thinking about buying another one to run 2 loops. One for vga cooling and the other for cpu cooling.

Just want to know what other people think.

It might be better to swap out your resterators for a loop with 120.2 or 120.3 rad on it and then mod the fans to 7v to reduce the noise - more flexibility, better cooling and probably easier to work with.

Would it not just be a whole lot cheaper and almost as effective to just add a GFX block to your existing loop? You're not going to see huge gains on your GFX clock with a seperate loop, you're better off either using a water block in your existing loop or using a zalman/arctic cooler.

I already have a vga block in the loop, just fancied spending abit of cash, I wasnt going to pay another £190 ish for another one. Was thinkin about getting some more ram, Other than my 2GB Geil value to clock my 4400 more. Can only get 2.5GHz stable.Running at 2.4GHz,10x multi 333 divider and 240 HTT. Maybe some G.skill HZ?

But running two should lower temps abit id i were clocking more.

I remember when you posted the thread. I did want to do that just the hassle of getting a new pump. How are your temps with 2?

Reasonable, but i'm cooling CPU, Chipset and 2 x 7800GTX's - So can't complain

where do you keep it! must be pretty massive now! maybe overkill really

Winston · 27 Jan 2006 at 19:30

Side of my desk - Think it's 1m in height

Wudn't say it's overkill but it's heading in that direction

Isn't exactly massive. You could put it into any computer you liked - as it's external :rolleyes:

As far as Lan's go i took it to I26 and i guess it'll be joining me at I27 also, so if you're THAT keen on seeing it at a lan, there's your opportunity.
