Zalman Reserator 1 fanless watercooling system

“Zalman takes quiet cooling to the extreme by employing a zero-fan system. By utilizing a passive-cooling technique, the Reserator 1 remains completely silent except for an almost unnoticeable hum generated by the puny 5W water pump. The Reserator 1 is a monster, dominated by a two-foot tall blue-anodized aluminum water reservoir that doubles as a giant heatsink, dissipating heat through an array of vertical fins.”
