Zalman reserator 1 x2 in series?

That's because there is a pressure differential across the loop. The only proper way I found to remove the pressure differential was to use the external pump, that's why I recommended you use an external pump in my first post.
 
I got 2 Zalman reserator+1's in series for about 2 years now & they are great.
the built in pumps will get the job done but its better to get a Swiftech Laing D5 Vario MCP655 12 VDC Pump or something to really get the flow going & you can use the reserator pumps as well or turn them off.

You must watch out for the breather hole at the top of the reserator, one will have to be blocked off.

What breather hole? I didn't think the V1.0 units had a breather hole? V2.0 definitely does though.
 
Out of interest how do you get the base of the Res 1v2 off, it looks nice and simple in the manual ;)
Also whats a good water block to match with the Res 1v2?
 
It does indeed have a tiny hole in the top - I've never noticed that before.

As for how you get the bottom off - hehehe - you are in for some fun there!

The wheel-stand comes off very easily, but I had to use a benchtop vise to grip the bottom (wrap a teatowel around the base to stop scraches) and a strap-spanner to grip the body. It's so tight I thought it was just slipping, but it does turn eventually.

Try blocking off the breather hole though - that might solve all your issues anyway. I wish I'd known that 3 months ago!
 
heres some pics of my setup , gonna put some LSX through 1 hole!

And no-one believes how quiet they are. I usually have to check the light to make sure it's switched on.

Looking good with the blue towers too..

he means the really small 1mm hold att of the lid u unscrew off i think? why is it good to block 1 off?

You must need to pressurise one tower to keep the fluid levels equal. I'm trying it as we speak.

Self-adhesive cycle patch on the inside of the lid seems to be holding fine. We can call that one the Final8y mod?

done mine, filled the hole up with some lsx and that will harded over the next hour! hopefully il c some improvements lol wow now part of the dual reserator crew! lol

The first time i installed the Res cooling cpu/gpu`s the quietness was disturbing, was everything really working i though...bliss :D

Swiftech Apogee GT works well, but not a patch on the XSPC Edge.

Actually the Ver1 with quad nozzle and washer is the same as a Apogee GT if 'martins flow rate estimator' thingy is right.

Compairing presure drop graphs the Fuzion ver2 (stock) is very simular to the GTX (both being slightly more restrictive that the GT) but the Ver2 is much more efficient at removing heat.

With all the extra blocks in my loop (5 now) I personally wouldn't use one - but for just a cpu, looks like a reasonable choice (if the bias graphs are to be believed)

As long as bit keeps my quad cool, it can flow how ever it likes :)

Yes, but from your earlier post you have a high flow rate pump. If the OP is only using the standard pump(s) then a low flow rate block is what's needed, no?
