If you buy a Zalman VGA Waterblock you get 2, a large one and a smaller one. I put the large one on my TI4600 and decided to try putting the smaller one on my NForce2 Northbridge. I also modified my Reserator1 buy running a hose from the inlet to the top of the unit, wich droped my temps by 2 C. Soon this box will see a Antec Phantom 350 and i will see how my case temps go, as I am aiming for only running the 120mm exhaust at half speed wich hopefully will make this box completly inaudible (right now i have the stock PSU that came with the Sonata case and it sucks noisewise...).
Temps are great right now, reaching 50C CPU (XP2600 @ 2405mhz) and 33C Case.
VGA Waterblock works for Northbridge...Reserator...Sonata

The only problem I ran into is the screws coming with the WB are too long, so the MB would not fit, but those where easy to replace. I am amased at how efficient those WB cool, considering there simple design (not much surface area comes in contact with the water, but the flow is very slow). I would call the reserator a good buy.
