Bought this gigantic monster Reserator last week and finally got around to fitting it. I wanted to venture into water cooling but i also wanted absolute silence at the same time, so i went for the Reserator 1 Plus
Leak testing (tesco bog roll
)
Close up of cpu water block.
I’m very impressed with the kit overall, good, clear instructions (usual Zalman) build quality is good. Took no time to install really, spilt a little water though
but i can be forgiven as its my first attempt.
Temps? wow temps are so good.
cpu: 3700 30 idle / 38 load
gfx: X850XT PE 35 idle / 55 load
(both stock with as5)
Still a little bit of tidying to do in my case with the psu cables, may take out one of the 120mm fans, all three are running on a controller at about 1000rpm (barely audible) One problem though, my 74gb Raptor is the loudest dam thing in the case now.
The Reserator is a nice bit of kit, i would recommend it to anyone. I wanted perfect silence and got it
