I live in a high dust area & had to use a Reserator v1 &v1plus in the past just to keep the cpu at a reasonable tempature.

However that was for my old hardware. My new hardware is a little more difficult to keep below 60c. I have not tested the reserator on the hardware below yet. Am unsure if it's possible.

Anyway the hardware

Silverstone GD08B Case
MSI 990XA GD55
AMD FX8350 8 Core 4Ghz
MSI R7950 2PMD3GD5
Corsair CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9 (32GB)

Various hard drives.

I have plenty of arflow in the PC with some ultra fine filters, However stock fan on cpu starts at 60c(according to amd) &rapidly increases.

I dont overclock as it is not viable due to high dust. So the question is will a reserator keep my chip at reasonable temps. If not then what should i have that will work externally.

The only system i have seen is the Aquaduct 360 eco.

So reccomdations please.
TY

Have you considered a hoover? :D Why is it a dusty area? :confused:

Resorator should be fine for a non overclocked chip.

Do you not wish to cool the gpu as well?

My advise would be to get a normal rad and get one of the free standing brackets. Attach some fan grill/filters run the pipes into the case and youre good to go.
 
Hi, just add a good 360 0r 480 in line, l use the Reserator 2 tower as Reservoir and have a external 560 Rad combined giving good temps.

4829K stock idle temps:18'c to 22'c across the core's, Sli 670:23'c.
