Reserator v2 video compatible cards

Hello

I jave just bought a watercooling system Reserator 1 v2.
I would like to know if exists on the market a compatible videocard, from witch i can remove the fan
and put the reserator's vga block, ZM-GWB3, on it. So could you give me models of videocards,
i want a new videocard, one whitch is still in production.

If there are none, is there another VGA block of zalman than i can connect to the Reserator and use with a
videocard with is in production, whitch i can buy ?

Ii necessary i can buy also a VGA RAM Block.

Actually i have a ATI SAPHIRE HD 4670, but i think it's not compatible, isn't it ?

So if there is a solution to connect my Reserator to a new videocard, even if i have to by other VGA blocks,
could you give me the name of the model of the videocard (and ther name of other VGA block if necessary)

Also , can you tel me if the reserator pump will make more noise if i connect the system to the video card ?
(I want to connect it to the cpu and the nord bridge as well)

Thank you everybody.

All make video card blocks. You have to buy the proper barbs etc for fittings, not too difficult.

Have you opened up/ hooked up the reserator yet? Almost all of us, including a Reserator user convert will say that system is pretty weak and isn't worth the money. You also have to worry about corrosion using a different brand of block and your aluminum V2.

Please consider returning it and we'll help you get a proper watercooling system.

Firstly thank you

My main concers in silence, not overklocking or performance. This was wy i choose the reserator. Is there another cooling system that silent ?

How do i know wich vga block is compatible with the reserator ?
(is it the water pipers diameter or such ?)

Should i by extra material to connect them ?

Hom much time does a VGA block last, using an anticorosion gluant ?

Thanks

Water blocks have barbs, you can buy the size you need for the hose you have. They screw in and you attach the hose to the other end.

A VGA waterblock will last longer than the video card since we upgrade every few years or so. With proper draining every 6 months and a total tear down and rebuild every year it will last forever. You HAVE to use top notch anti-corrosive liquids and will have to absorb the cost of replacing it every 6 months. You have aluminum and will have copper. It can ruin the copper and the aluminum because the ions leach off the aluminum, pitting it, and building up on the copper. Bad things happen. You can prevent this by using special liquid.

The reason I mentioned looking at other ways to cool your setup besides the reserator is it can only cool so much wattage generated by the component. Thankfully your GPU isn't a real monster. It will probably work fine. If you had a more modern GPU the Reserator would not work at all. Your card would overheat. You can't fool physics. Thats why we use radiators, they are MUCH more efficient at removing heat.

Actually, not a great help since you bought the Reserator already, there are MUCH cheaper VGA/GPU cooling solutions. You remove the stock cooling, slap a massive air cooled heatsink on it, and a 120mm fan on low speed. It's as silent as possible. It is as quiet as your case fans and won't even be noticed. It's a LOTTTT cheaper and works great.

Please look into Thermalright as one possible air cooled solution for your GPU. They are top notch, there are a few others, I'm not on top of air cooling like I used to be.

Thank yes ai understand, but since i bought already ...

.. i decided to go with a new VGA block from Zalman, with i did'n ordered yet..

My priority is NOT low temperature and performance for overcloking, but LOW NOISE.

Do you think Reserator can handle good enough the cooling of these components without any overclooking, just to keep working ?

-Intel core duo 3.0 ghz
-Norht bridge
-ATI Radeon HD3850 (don't have it yet i am planning to buy it since Zalman sell a -VGA block compatible for it)
-2 case noctua 120 fans on popsite side od the case, at 600 rpm (do you think i can turn them off ???????, or turn just one of them od ????)
-low heat power suppply with fan automatically triggered only when heat rise

Thanx

The reserator isn't as bad as a lot of people seem to think.

I have set mine up today and am getting OK temps with the supplied CPU and GPU blocks on my Phenom 965 C2 and 4870.

Can't say wether the 4650 will work with the GPU block, but am pretty sure it will.

I am thinking of adding a 120mm radiator into the system to add a little extra cooling, but the system is perfectly workable as it is, and that's before the AS5 TIM has bedded in.

AS5 setting in might mean 2C total temps diff. And thats pushing it. If your that close to worrying about temps...........................
