You can Use Tygon R3603 (7/16" / 11,2mm OD) tubing with the standard Zalman fittings and tube clamps. That's what I did and I am very Happy with that. Greetz Audiodude ps. I very much doubt that The Reserator can handle 300W full load 24/7 during a hot summer with ambient temp over 35°C with no Air...

If you use 2 Reserators in line or just use two loops for CPU and Graphics, it should work out o.k. I wouldn't recommend a single Reserator in your case! It might be a better solution to use a heating radiator! Should be cheaper and has much more convection area. Greetz Audiodude ps. the good thing ...

I read somewhere that the Reserator can continuously dissipate 150W of Heat. My System has a maximum powerconsumption of 200W (full load on all components). But the Reserator had no problem to cool it even when I played 3D Stuff for 16+ Hours (at about 150W). That means if you plan to use it with a ...

Yeah... but maybe somebody else is planning to do that after reading your praises about WW! So use it if you like it so much, but tell the people with Plexi Parts in their Loop that they risk severe Damage to their Hardware if they put WW in their System!!! If you recommend something you should alwa...

I found the post again that shows the result of WW in a Plexiglas reservoir!

Link! The Pics show a reservoir that was used with WW!

Beware of that stuff!

The G30 Stuff has the same effect on the pump as WaterWetter. No Noise at all. (I put a brand new pump in when I changed the additive). The Temps are the same as before, I doubt very much that Water Wetter has any advantage in a computer water cooling setup! WW stinks (smells), G30 does not! Greetz ...

8x1 means 8mm inner diameter and 1mm Wall thickness, wich results in 10mm outer diameter. All Innovatek Stuff and all (european) plumbing stuff (fittings) is Imperial and not metric! So you are right these measurements should all be 1/4". By the way, isn't innovatek very expensive in the U.S.? Even ...

Much as I love my Reserator, it makes the PC a pain to move around (not that I ever move it much but meh!). For my new PC - most likely a Core i7 - I'm hoping to get quiet-enough-for-me results from air cooling. I use it for my HTPC where silence is all that matters! The only thing I can hear is th...

@InfyMcGirk: Like every additive it's not safe to drink it!!! Ingredients are Glykol/Ethanediol which is poisonous so I give it to my garage or the local waste disposal/recycling place, which is no problem. The stuff doesn't stink and the package just warns to avoid skin and eye contact and unhealth...

I used WW for several Years before the pump cracked. I may have forced the crack with the last refill, because i increased the amount of WW i put in the (deionized) Water. Also the tubes (Tygon) picked the color of the WW and turned pink. Now i use engine coolant Glysantin G30 (for mixed metal engin...

Noctua is offering a much cheaper version to adapt their older models to AM2. But you need to buy additional 3,5mm Screws.

Hello ~El~Jefe~, I just have to warn You and anybody else who want's to use Water Wetter that this stuff may work on some setups, but it can destroy some sorts of cooling blocks!!! If you use anything acrylic (Plexiglas) in your setup, avoid WW at all cost. It will sooner or later develop cracs in t...
