Chaps time to upgrade the Reserator 1 (not plus/ v2 just bog standard) i have which comes with stock waterblocks, i believe the WB2 and GWB1 (or worse!). Looking for recommendations on replacement CPU and VGA waterblocks and possible the northbridge as well, though the later is not as essential.
Tempted to go for stock Zalman replacements in the WB5/plus and the GWB3 but open to other alternates provided they won't cause problems (flow/corrosion) with the Reserator 1. Couple of mentions for the the D-Tek Fusion as a possible route for both CPU and GPU, any others? No problems with Reserator 1.
Little dated system that was recently upgraded and it looks like the VGA waterblock isn't coping.... Soem red sparklies appearing, the VGA block it doesn't really fit in any case
, so needs to be changed at the very least but the CPU block could do with going as well even if the Opteron is running fine.
Edit - is it worth Changing the pump for something with a little more oomph than the stock one?
system specs:
Opteron 165
7900GT
DFI Lanparty UT
Seasonic 430w
2gb (4x512 stick)
