Looks great.

Any idea when these might hit the market?
Would be nice to see a Reserator 1 vs 2 comparison.

what do you all think of the ramcooling for the gpu (optional extra)? havnt seen that anywhere else :eek:

this will do me lovely in the winter behind a curtain with the window open.

how much thermal paste did he use in the review ?!?!?!!1 :eek:

that looks amazing. i wonder if a couple of low-volted 120s on the side will improve things further...

I've always felt that if you are going to put fans on it then there are better solutions out there, but if you want total silence then it is hard to beat.

I've been running a Reserator-1+ for over year now. Currently it is cooling an AMD64 4000+ and an ATI X1800XT.

The only issue really is that it can get over loaded during long sessions if the ambient temprature is very high. If the new version has a higher fluid capacity along with the larger radiator surface it should deal with that issue pretty well.

mattbrown91 · 31 Aug 2006 at 15:20

Looks the Part, Works well.

pero...

...£230 is too much.

helpimcrap · 31 Aug 2006 at 17:51

£230 is extortionate for that im afraid.

LadFromWales · 31 Aug 2006 at 18:15

I might be tempted, but then, I don't know how much decent water cooling costs, never looked...too many expensive things I want to do to my pc now!

oh if only it was £70 cheaper lol

LadFromWales · 8 Sep 2006 at 20:18

I like it, but I'm waiting to see what people get out of it performance wise...not that my system will go any further if it were cooler...I just want quiet!

Borden · 8 Sep 2006 at 20:40

I don't really care too much about the noise in my system but the overclocking potential looks great, especially on the graphics card :eek:

Did anyone else notice how long his fingernails were, they were the first thing i noticed in one of the pictures

EDIT: OMG! 2000th post!

VeNT · 8 Sep 2006 at 20:45

LadFromWales · 8 Sep 2006 at 21:29
