Alphacool Unveils Rise Flat Line of Reservoirs with Integrated Pumps

Chrispy_ · Jun 2, 2022

I think I must be a heathen; I have the plain Eisdecke acetal zero-RGBLED top for my D5 which sits under the power supply shroud out of sight. I run a Y piece into the inlet and hide about half a meter of tube in a large S shape that ends in a fill-port with a bung that I can access by pulling the front cover off my case.

Small reservoirs don't make sense to me when a long fill tube is more convenient, and large reservoirs are surely just vanity projects to take up all the empty space in an ATX case that used to be for 3.5" drives.

Running this since 2019, definately not a new thing for me.

Cool mod, you got your rad up front?

Yes a 360mm in the front from Alphacool.

My tube res is not too big. I always thought more volume means more heat capacity for the water. Probably completely wrong

It adds a fraction more time before temperature stabilization, but wouldn't affect the stable temperature.

For say a set load ran for a prolonged time.

Heat capacity is almost pointless though; it's just a buffer. If your loop can't dump out the heat your components put into it, you have a problem.
Increasing the size of the buffer just means that you can muddle through for a few minutes more before things go horribly wrong. The buffer itself solves absolutely nothing and takes up valuable space.

There is at least valuable space in my case.

Which case do you have?

Lian Li o11D XL

And i am sure my 2 360mm rads are easily enough without any muddling through.

This depends entirely on your rig's usage. If you're doing long-duration rendering then yes, I agree with you. However, if your work is in short duration bursts, a larger buffer can make a noticeable difference.

Nice case. I have its smaller sibling and very satisfied with it.
