Water cooled Pentium 4 system

Published 2022-06-08
A short video of my water cooled retro rig featuring a highly modified Zalman Reserator XT.

PC specs:
Pentium 4 3.0HT E0 @ 4.05 GHz/1.5V
ASUS P4P800SE with Antinomy's modded BIOS
2GB OCZ DDR400 RAM running at DDR540
MSI GeForce 7600GS Passive
Zalman WB5 waterblock
NZXT E500 PSU
And of course, a Cooler Master Musketeer.

Reserator XT mods:
Aquacomputer D5+Ultitop pump cover, cable modified to be directly in-line with the DC jack on the Reserator XT bypassing the control panel
Koolance QD3 Quick Disconnect Couplings on the Reserator and computer below
Mayhems Ultra Clear tubing
Fleetguard Compleat EG coolant
Arctic P14 PWM PST fan

Track playing in the background is Violence by Le Destroy and The Bait.

    I ended up scrapping basically everything of this unit and being left with only the baseplate of this Reserator. When I receive my QD3's so I can use ZMT i'll make a new video of the clusterfuck that is my custom external water cooler.

    I had no idea you are into hard trance, so am I, I’ve been looking for sets all year so far haha

    Since recording this, I unfortunately nuked a transistor on the Reserator XT. Thanks to some prototyping wires I made it a "dumb" external water cooling box though lol Am going to mod the ever loving FUCK out of this thing, am going to ditch the stupid Zalman guts and install a better pump/res combo. That, and ditch all electrical crap in this thing so it becomes like a smaller Watercool Mo-RA3. Maybe even go as far as designing a entirely new front panel with a Aquacomputer Aquaero built in?!
