Video Review: The Zalman Reserator 2 Water Cooling System is the next installment in the Reserator line. The Reserator V2 is quiet different looking than their pervious Reserator 1, but it has many of the same key features. The exterior of the Reserator 2 is basically a very large aluminum heatsink with many fins. This design works very and will have no problem radiating heat without the use of fans. Being fanless is the big plus with this water cooling setup because it means effective silent cooling...

External design might turn some people off, Mounting screws are small and can be lost and without any extras, the user is out of luck, With a street price of just over $300, the Reserator 2 isn’t cheap but with all of the benefits that come with it...
There it is. While not as powerful as a custom water kit from some of the larger water companies, the Reserator performs exceptionally well. It should be mentioned though that it was never Zalman’s aim to supplant the likes of Asetek, Danger Den and...
