Zalman Reserator 2 Fanless Water Cooling System

Description:
“Reserator” is a compound word derived from ‘Reservoir’ and ‘Radiator’- it acts as a reservoir while radiating heat. This product works well with natural convection and integrates a Water Pump inside for convenience. It incorporates a coolant flow sensor as well as the Flow Indicator in the front, for safe and convenient use.

The Reserator 2 is a fanless water cooling system that unites the functions of a reservoir, radiator, and water pump into one system for easy operation. It is anodized and comes with a custom coolant to prevent corrosion.

Water blocks included are ZM-WB4 CPU block and GWB3 GPU block. Purchasing additional water blocks is optional but a memory heat sink or cooler replacement is recommended when removing your stock cooler such as the RWB1 or RHS1.

 

Details:
The Reserator2 has a classic room radiator look.
The WB4 CPU water block is low profile and gold plated
The GWB3 has been revised with barbed fittings and now fits more video cards

The sight glass has an indicator to show the flow of water through the system. The PCI slot card has two holes for the tubing to travel in and out of the PC.

The WB4 and GWB3 have been revised from their former models. The WB4 now has a criss crossing channel at the base of the block that dissipates heat off the copper base more efficiently. The WB4 has replaced its traditional anodized aluminum top with a clear plexiglass top. The new style is lighter in weight with increased effectiveness in performance. The GWB3 GPU water block is also low profile to make it compatible with SLI VGA cards. The new style of this block provides better heat dissipation from its predecessor and the barbed swivel fittings have three notches for improved connectivity and less potential for water leaking.

Important: When using the GWB3 GPU block it is strongly recommend to add the ZM-RHS1 RAM heatsinks or RWB1 water block as the video card memory will be exposed once the stock cooler is removed.

The G200 Coolant is an anti-corrosion additive for your Reserator cooling system. This blue coolant is Ethylene Glycol based and an anti-corrosive agent for various materials including copper, aluminum, and plastic, that prevents corrosion for long term operation. The Fittings incorporate valves that prevent leaks when disconnecting the PVC Tubes allowing quick, convenient separation and reassembly of the Reserator for transport and coolant replacement.

Water Flow Diagram:
Reserator is designed with an optimal heat dissipation area based on ZalmanTech's HCET (High Capacity Extrusion Technique) and high efficiency cooling technology. As a result, this product achieves excellent cooling performance even with natural convection, making it the world's first fanless, noiseless water-cooling system. The reservoir, radiator, and the water pump are conveniently integrated into one assembly, and the heatsink is anodized to prevent corrosion and rust. In addition, the kit includes the high-performance Gold CPU and GPU water block which are not susceptible to galvanic corrosion.
