Zalman Reserator 1 Plus Review (Page 2 of 8)
Contents.
The whole set-up comes in a very large box, bigger than an ATX case box but not quite as big as a house, adorned with loads of cool images and technical specs the Reserator box is quite a thing to behold and really does grab the eye, although I somehow doubt that its the kind of thing that a shop browser would buy on impulse.
Inside we see the first polystyrene tray. This contains the 4 meters of 1/2" silicone tube as well as the extremely well laid out instruction book. This first tray has a large noggin in the middle which can be used to lift the tray out to reveal the second layer of the Zalman cake.
Contained in this tray are the CPU and VGA coolers, the ZM-WB3 Gold CPU block and the ZM-GWB2 VGA block, a bottle of water addative to prevent corrosion of the wetted parts, a flow gauge and a PCI bracket with a couple of holes for the tubes to pass through. Removal of this tray reveals the actual reserator itself complete with cable.
