Build it, clock it, cool it.
Zalman followed up the successful Reserator with the Reserator 2 external water cooling late in 2006. You would have expected the third model in the range to come with the ‘3’ moniker but its not quite that straight forward. The latest water cooling solution is Zalman’s first foray into actively-cooled water cooling. The Reserator XT is its name and it’s a pretty impressive piece of kit.
The 5kg box has tidy dimensions of 210mm (W) x 350 (L) x 180mm (D) with a 1 litre coolant capacity the internal pump has the capability to shift 360 litres an hour round the system.
The front features two dials on either side of the central LCD display. The left hand side displays the litres per minute flowing round the system and the right shows the fan speed within the box. The central display is a simple LCD display which has the capability to display up to two different temperature readings.
The only other thing worth mentioning at this time is the flow indicator, mounted on the right hand side of the chassis; it’s the same as the one featured on the Reserator 2. Just to round things off lets finish up with an official press shot from Zalman themselves.
We have spoken to Zalman and hope to have one of these in the HEXUS labs shortly.
