Well done buddy, looking good

All working well I trust

BTW Is that a 92mm fan?

(BBTW doesnt it take up alot of room!!!!!!!)

[th0r0n]

Yep it's a 92mm Noctua.

It's got a 3 pin connector, which is a shame as I'd of like to connect it to the 4 pin on the graphics card

Is working good, I've got the thermal adhesive now, I'm just partitioning up my hard drive as per the guide on this very forum and downloading drivers.

Got about 30 motherboard drivers / tools to install on my P5Q-E, LOL.

PS fan other way up so it's blowing onto the card not blowing down

What's the listed rpm of that fan?

[keluar]

I use the Zalman Reserator for cooling my overpowered HTPC. Yes, it looks stunning and that was the main reason I bought it as the wife "required" any HTPC parts to look good in the reception. This is the only reason to buy such a unit. It performs adequately but you can get much better performance for the price. As satisfied as I am with the unit, the only reason I would recommend it is if aesthetics is important (goes well with the Zalman HD 160 XT Plus). Under no conditions should it be purchased for performance reasons alone.

Hi, I wonder whether I could add the reserator to my cooler master aquagate ALC -U01?

1600 'without adaptor'

You sure it's the wrong way? :S Looks OK to me?

I've got the fan set to about 1000 rpm in Speedfan.

Pretty sure that fan is blowing the wrong way, check the arrow on the side, should be pointing towards the heatsink.

Doh, I'll take it apart again tonight,

My temps are awesome though...

Shouldn't it be blowing away from the card? Drawing the hot air out of the fins?

No, should be blowing down - pushing air through the fins then case should be exhausting the hot air.

[th0r0n]

Cool, I'll check the airflow direction, thanks

[th0r0n]

Well its gone from screaming loud fan @ 98 degrees in L4D to utterly silent @ 57 degrees, amazing.

[greenpanda]

well worth the purchase then

[noobieocer]

wow that heatsink is big nice job

Sweet

Yep, I'd recommend it to anyone, I reckon you pull a fearsome overclock off with it on.

That Noctua fan is whisper quite as well at 1800rpm.

I thought it was amazingly loud, but I accidentally set the bottom PSU TriCool fan to Max whilst playing about with it, LOL!
