Zalman Reserator 1 cooling

ja3h · 3 Jun 2006 at 05:00

I just bought one 2nd hand just wondering if it will be ok cooling:

opty @ 1.45 volts (is it good for more?)

and a x1800xt 512.

or is the gfx too hot for it to handle?

Ah thanks for the replies guys, that link though was to the plus version and i bought the 1st edition which has different gfx card blocks. I did see that fan you can buy for it and tbh that would defeat the point...and paying £30 (inc pnp) for a fan is a bit ott.

I guess i'll check out what temps i get and if they alarm me i will probably buy my mate alphacool gear off him (he's a noob, it leaked and he refuses to try again lol) A dual rad on the back of the case with v.silent fans running would have better performance and be quiet?

Well i've just checked temps on my current system, evo33 on the cpu and stock cooling for my x1800xt.

cpu: idle - 30-34 load - 45-47

gpu!!: idle 65 load - 80! :O

shall i just get a dual rad kit and put some slow spinning fans on it?

thanks

Got the zalman today, won't be getting my gigabyte aurora for another week :S so i don't realy want to try with the sonata *too cramped*

The cpu block is quite heavily scratched what instruments would i need to "lap it (is that the word?)"

Also it came with

I know i keep asking, but i assume that the people who say it will cool the x1800xt fine have the ZM-GWB2 for it.

I was thinking of buying:
Alphacool NexXxoS ATI X1800XL/XT/XT PE Graphics Card Cooler (WC-007-AC)

Well a friend is selling a NexXxoS NVXP-3 which says it is compatible with 7800's/x1800xt's on a competitors site. Are the zalman fittings 10mm?

Thanks
