RESERATOR 1 and the Thermaltake Rocket

ZGOZZ · 02-12-05, 10:44 PM

What are the pros and cons of these tube systems?
If there was a choice what would you choice and why?

Does it make a big difference in this set up?

Radical · 02-12-05, 10:49 PM

One of the pro's of the Zalman is that its pump is inside the reservoir, which cuts down on pump noise. Another pro of the Zalman is that it is not made by Thermaltake.

Pros about Zalman is original not copy cat like Thermaltake

Seven · 02-12-05, 11:31 PM

Well, I think there is a chief difference in that the rocket uses an external pump.
Also, I believe the tube sizes are different. The Reserator uses 3/8" ID and the rocket uses 1/4" ID.

I'd go with the zalman option, but it's up to you.

you might also want to look at innovateks passive rads.

Cool can you mix and match?
Like the block for the CPU from X and the Zalman

ZGOZZ · 02-13-05, 06:47 AM

What are good blocks for the new P4 775. Or what is the best out there?

gl4ss · 02-13-05, 07:04 AM

yeah you can mix'n'match.

ZGOZZ · 02-13-05, 07:19 AM

any input on my question above?

kayson · 02-13-05, 11:55 AM

I'd suggest danger den tdx.

It depends on what pump and restrive your loop will be. For a low flow setup, I would recomend the Swifty 600X for the 755 P4, or a TDX if you are going to be using a pump like the Swifty 350DC, 650DC, ect...

Jas · 02-14-05, 11:24 AM

Low flow pump, go swiftech. Their blocks are less restrictive.

With a higher flow pump, the DD TDX is a great block. (Around 300GPH for maximum performance on the TDX).

Depends on what swiftech blocks you are referring to. The mcw5000 series has a very low pressure drop. The mcw6000 has a pretty high pressure drop, TDX actually has less.

But no matter what flow the mcw6000 beats the TDX:

Jas · 02-14-05, 12:01 PM

well then of course there is http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/wbsum.asp

Which ranks the TDX as abtter than the 6000. All subjective IMO.

In all honesty, once you start getting into the top of the line blocks, you're not going to be seeing huge differences. And often, no two tests will be the same.

jamesavery22 · 02-14-05, 12:14 PM

Eh thats true. When looking at a system and going between the TDX and a 6000 Id say its personal preference. The difference you might get between either block is a whole 0.5c. For some thats nothing and for a chunk of people on these forums thats a lot. But you can't say that about ALL high end blocks. Compare the G5 and a tdx or 6000 and you are talking about 2c difference which is pretty big for most people.

I just prefer the 6000 over the TDX mainly due to mounting and price, so thats just me.

ZGOZZ · 02-14-05, 12:19 PM

Zalman has the kit that comes with the block is this a good block?

ZGOZZ · 02-20-05, 07:19 AM

Does anybody have this system?

ZGOZZ · 02-28-05, 09:43 AM

Bump does anybody have the RESERATOR 1?

clocker2 · 02-28-05, 09:56 AM

No, I don't own a Reserator, but I have been actively following it as I'd like to try one sometime.
There are several threads in the silentpc forums regarding the Reserator ( it is highly regarded for it's effectiveness/silence ratio over there)...specifically, there seem to be a significant increase in pump noise/failure incidents after 3 months.
Even so I would recommend the Zalman.
I have seen one in constant use at a local bigbox store for well on nine months now and it still seems fine.
