First off, I know everyone hates the Reserator due to it being aluminum (galvanic corrosion). But as far as I can tell, the water never contacts the aluminum due to it being anodized on the inside so I still use mine and love it.
My system consists of two loops in parallel off of a single Swiftech MCP655-B, one loop is 1/2" and consists of the cpu and gpu blocks and the Reserator, the other loop branches off of the 1/2" loop with 1/4" tubing and consists of the 2 Koolance RAM-30 blocks in series. Up until now I've been using the original 3/8" quick disconnects on the Reserator and was getting 1.5 LPM according to the Koolance TMS-200. I had some extra 1/2" barbs laying around so I replaced the quick disconnects on the Reserator (luckily the threads on the Reserator are the standard G 1/4 so no modifications were needed), now the TMS-200 registers the flow rate as 3.3 LPM :up: I figured the quick disconnects were restrictive but I had no idea it was holding back the flow that much. So if anyone else out there is still rocking the Reserator, this might be something you'd want to try.
