Sounds great in my opinion, and the air holes make it a great candidate for mounting in a p182 with a 5V 120mm fan. I'd do it in a second if my Antec Phantom 500W wasn't running in the exact same way already

Does the Antec Phantom 500 fit in a p182 with the extra fan?
I'm going to replace my case soon, and I'd like to know if the Antec Phantom 500 fits in the Antec P182 if you use the extra 120mm fan that it has room for there. The Phantom spins up and down all the time in my current case, creating a very stressful noise, unless I attach a fan manually to it runn...

I'd love to see a proper SPCR review of this PSU. It looks interesting, but the linked reviews are so bad they're almost worse than no information at all. Saying that the PSU noise gets drowned out by other loud components in the reviewer's system isn't exactly helpful for the silencing crowd that a...

Hmm, not good, is the pump easily replacable? (does zalman provide a replacement or did you get a sperate one?). I replaced mine with an external DDC pump, not from Zalman. I'm from Sweden, and getting a replacement here involves contacting Zalman in Korea. After waiting two weeks for them to answe...

Abit of an unrelated question, did your reserator start making noise after some weeks (the pump) is saw someone complaining about that in here, and I wondered if it was a general problem. As I have drooled on the reserator as the ultimate quiet solution som time I go pretty scared by that news :( Y...

Well I suspect the pump wasn't getting enough power to start. Either that or it's just decided to work again! :) Unfortunately I've moved house and had a nasty bout of the flu since I last messed with this so I can't remember the exact configuration of my PC when I thought the pump had failed.

The GPU-cooler om the resirator supposedly is very weak, maybe the extra cooling on the core itself helped? I think the problem was with the memory. I tried Doom3 with it without the fan, and I had severe artifacts (dancing white pixels) that went away with the fan. That kind of artifacting seems l...

I ran totally fanless for a few months, using a reserator. I had some problems with the system hanging about every two to three weeks (it was on constantly). Also, you couldn't play 3d games, because something on the video card would overheat (probably the memory, even though they had huge heatsinks...

SilenX Lururae 460W Fanless PSU:
It squeals horribly as the load increases. Once it gets hot, it squeals whenever there is ANY CPU LOAD AT ALL. It squeals for a second if you open Outlook, Explorer, Notepad, whatever. It becomes unbearable when playing games because it gets really loud and annoying.

Undervolting the Danger Den DDC-12V?
I am getting the Danger Den DDC-12V pump to replace my Reserator rattling pump of Dhoom. It draws power from a regular Molex connector. It says on their webpage it can work on voltages down to 6V for more quiet operation. How can I lower the voltage? Since it's not a fan connector the Zalman fanmate...

I can't seem to loosen the base plate on my reserator.
My last post was about not being able to loosen the top lid on my reserator. Now my pump has started claning loudly and I must replace it because frankly I can't take this noise any longer. I tried emptying everything the other day, but I couldn't remove the bottom lid/base plate (where the pump is)...

Lid stuck on reserator
In my foolishness, I tightened the lid too hard on my reserator. Now I can't get it off
Could someone please check for me if you unscrew it clockwise or counterclockwise? Thanks in advance.

Memory overheating on 9800 pro? Chip temps are fine
My goal is to build a high performance fanless computer. I have succeeded, if it wasn't for the video card. I have a Radeon 9800 Pro, and I watercool it with a Zalman Reserator 1. However, something else is overheating on the card. Without fans blowing on the card, it can't even complete a single 3d...

You just wrote what I was going to. There is no chance that the water expansion can damage it, since according to the manual you are supposed to fill it up to 75-80%. Air is easily compressed. It seems strange to open it up to outside contamination just to accomodate people who fill it up to 100%. A...

Is the Athlon XP really that much hotter than a P4 in idle mode? Looking at the temps you reported in this article makes me wonder.

Can a reserator cool a 3.2 Ghz P4 and a Radeon 9800 Pro?
I just got a reserator, and I am not sure if it can adequately cool both my CPU, which is a 3,2 Ghz P4 (Northwood) and my graphics card, which is a sapphire radeon 9800 pro. I am not interested in overclocking or anything, just stable operation. Will it be enough, given normal (22-25C) ambient tempe...
