Reserator for CS and GPU only?

Would the Reserator be able to handle the heat from my P4S800E-D northbridge and ATI 9800Pro?

I would continue to use the Swiftech MCW-20 and MCW-50 blocks. Change the pump from the extremely weak one included to the Maxi-Jet 1200 that I current have.

My current setup to WC these 2 parts is quite noisy. 2 x 120mm Panaflo Medium fans around a BIX rad. Temps in this setup, loaded with a Compu-nurse on the back are 36C for the GPU and 42C from the CS.

I thinking that the Maxi-jet would deliver excellent flow with no rad in the way.


Any thoughts??

PS - CPU cooled by a Mach1.

it would have to be a pretty big reservoir.
the nb and gpu would put out atleast 50watts alone when overclocked. with the pump ur looking at 60watts of heat. i would suggest atleast a black micro or equivilent to cool it. or a 20-30gal reservoir.

why would he need a bigger res?

I beleive he is refering to that new reserator passive watercooling system from I believe Zalman and not just a giant reservoir. I think it would be able to handle it if its original design is for a CPU and and option to add a GPU block to the system.

Yes ... Ad Rock is correct.

Sorry I wasn't clearer in my question. Most tests have shown that the Zalman Reserator can handle the heat from a non-OC'ed CPU ... including the Prescott.... at a temp of the stock cooler.

As Korndog suggested, 30~40W for the GPU, 20~30W for the NB, and 15W for the pump. On the high side, 65~85w of heat???? (85w looks a little high to me).

It would elimate 2 x 120mm Medium Panaflo's which is the noisiest part of my system right now. I would be left with

2 x 80mm Low speed Panaflo connect to a Nexus Fan controller
1 x 120 Vantec Stealth connect to a Nexus Fan controller
550w Antec TruPower
