Looking for good reservoir that...

[Gamb311]

Actually looking for a couple reservoirs for 2 loops. I want to keep them separate.

Main thing is I want to mount them in the center/top of my Thermochill 120.3 radiators. Which reservoirs are good for mounting on this. And able to fit (2) 1/2 compression fittings?

How many ML's of liquid is needed usually per loop? Depends on how many parts are being cooled I suppose?

Looking at: (not sure if they mount to the back of my Thermochill 120.3)

Anyone have any input on these reservoirs or have any others they recommend?

Koolance and DangerDen are the only ones that make res' that are meant to be mounted directly to rads/fans. The ones you linked work but you'll have to figure out how to mount them yourself.

Simply put, coolant volume and cooling capacity are unrelated. There are benefits to having more coolant (longer time to reach equilibrium throughout the loop, slower increase in coolant temp, relatively more stable temps under normal use e.g. CPU/GPU spikes in load as opposed to constant load), or less coolant (more rapid change in coolant temp which is easier/faster for monitoring systems to pick up and make fan/pump/etc adjustments as necessary).

But long story short, no effect on actual cooling performance.

EDIT: swiftech micro-res should be pretty easy to mount just about anywhere.

Is this the danger den one?

I want to mimic that.

Yeah thats the Dangerden res.

If you are asking about usual loop capacity, indeed it depends on how many parts are in there, and the capacity of additional reservoirs you may have. My 2 last loops had CPU + MB + GPU + res + 2 radiators, older one was about 2l (only one GPU), newer one is about 2.5l (2 GPUs, and 2 reservoirs).
