Reserator 1 is designed with an optimal heat dissipation area based on Zalman
Tech’s HCET (High Capacity Extrusion Technique) and high e iciency cooling
technology. As a result, this product achieves excellent cooling per ormance
even with natural convection, making it the world’s irst anless, noiseless water-
cooling system. The reservoir, radiator, and the water pump are conveniently
integrated into one assembly, and the heatsink is anodized to prevent corrosion
and rust. In addition, the kit includes the high-per ormance ZM-WB2 Gold water
block which is not susceptible to galvanic corrosion.

1.1 Reserator (Reservoir + Radiator + Water Pump)
Reserator is a compound word derived rom ‘Reservoir’ and
‘Radiator’- it acts as a reservoir while radiating heat. This product
works well with natural convection and integrates a water pump
inside or convenience.
1.2 CPU Water Block(ZM-WB2 old)
The system includes Zalman’s new CPU cooling component,
ZM-WB2 Gold, which per orms superbly and installs easily.
1.3 Flow Indicator
This component is connected in-line with the circulation tube to
check the circulation o the coolant. When the coolant is actively
circulating, the cap inside the low indicator shakes rapidly,
providing easy indication o the circulation status.

●●PU Water Block
Water block or cooling the GPU on a graphics card.
This product is sold separately and available in two
versions or compatibility with ATI Radeon and NVIDIA
GeForce GPUs.
●●ZM-WB2 old
Dual CPU users can buy an additional unit o ZM-WB2
Gold or installation on the second CPU.
●●Silicone Tube
I the included silicone tube is ound to be short or you
need to use the tube on another system, additional
tubes can be bought separately
(base length is 3 m, 12 x 8 mm).
●●Heatpipe HDD Cooler
This component cools the heat generated rom the hard
disk drive and reduces the vibration that is passed on to
the system case.
●●Power Supply Unit
By implementing heat-sensor circuitry that controls the
cooling an’s speed in relation to the temperature within
the power supply, emanating noise has been greatly
reduced, making this component suitable or noiseless
systems.

5.1 Determine the Placement of the Reserator 1
The reserator’s placement should be determined with regard to the connected PC. Place it
upright next to or slightly above the PC. Note that i the Reserator is placed lower than the
PC, the silicone tube’s internal air pressure may prevent proper initial operation.
5.2 Install the CPU Water Block (ZM-WB2 old)
1) Re er to the manual included with ZM-WB2 Gold on how to install.
2) ZM-WB2 Gold can be installed on Socket 478, 462, 754, and 940.
3) I a water block rom another manu acturer is to be installed, re er to the manual included
with that product on how to install.
4) I inter erence occurs while installing, stop the installation.
5) Only 13 x 10 mm or 12 x 8 mm silicone tubes can be used with this product.

5.4 Fasten the Universal Fitting
I you want to drill the holes in the
side o the case or astening, each
o them should be 16 mm in diameter.
The tube holes should be made at
the same height as the slot holes at
the back o the case.

Fitting Cap
I the universal itting is to be astened on the PCI slot hole in the back o the case, separate
the itting cap and the itting nut rom the universal itting. Then, insert the universal itting into
the PCI slot hole rom the inside towards the outside as shown and asten with itting nuts.
