Reserators in series

I have seen a number of threads on-line where people have successfully run two Reserators in series and if I remember right at least one of them was on this forum so hopefully somebody with experience or knowledge can help me out.

I currently have a Reserator 1 which is cooling a i5 2550K at stock speeds and I recently managed to get a used Reserator 1+ dirt cheap and hope to link it to the Reserator 1 that is currently running my system. I know this is complete overkill when the R1 is already doing a great job however I plan on getting a full cover block for my 7850 and adding that to the loop, and while a single Reserator is know to be capable of cooling a 2550K and a 7850 I would like the extra headroom and also it should give me some room to tweak the 2550K.

The R1+ I have got is snorkled and has had its pump removed, I was planning to link it in to the loop just before the R1 which is running the loop now. Is this the best way to do it? and also is the any danger of the towers not equalizing and the water pumping out of the air hole on the top of one of them? (they are on the floor side by side so no level difference).

Thank you.
 
Personally I'd rip the pump out of the other one and run a d5 or something in the case, the fluid levels should even out too.

Think jokester has a few in series.
 
I've got 2 reserators in parallel, but I don't use the pumps in them. Putting them in parallel with my Cape Coras increased my flow rates by 0.8l/min, which is nice. If you're using the pumps in them you probably want to put them in series for redundancy and higher flowrates due to the pumps.

Thanks for the offer pgi947 been busy with other things - don't have space for more
