It's just that 5 litre of fluid can't buffer the heat your setup gives.
With a reservoir you have a buffer, warm water mixes with cold, so less to cool.
I guess your hailea 1000 still keeps running and have a hard time cooling the fluid.
Those chillers were made for aquariums with 150-200 ltr water.
Let us know how your Hailea 1000 performs, 1hp is serious chilling
I know you are absolutely right about the reservoir & know that it would definately keep a constant flow of cool water to the res & at the same time a separate pump would pull that water through the computer blocks

But....

I'm a married man & I cannot just pick up any ugly looking 30 or 50 litre res & stick it in my home office without having a big discussion with my wife. It sounds like a lame excuse but it's the truth.

I'lll keep an eye out for some nice "something" that could be used a a res.
