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.
The +1 have the hole at the top.
Also whats a good water block to match with the Res 1v2?
he means the really small 1mm hold att of the lid u unscrew off i think? why is it good to block 1 off?
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..
D-Tek Fuzion V2
Also whats a good water block to match with the Res 1v2?
Doesn't that need quite a high flow rate?
As long as bit keeps my quad cool, it can flow how ever it likes![]()
