What will a larger water resevoir do for me?
I recently setup a swiftech based water cooling system and the water resevoir is on the small side. 4tallx2widex3long. Would a larger resevoir increase my cooling?

Theorically it should increase your cooling the first 5-10 minutes and anything will be like before. Don't know why you should buy a new resevoir.

you would not have much of a temperature decrease by increasing the size of your reservoir, unless it is a reservator (resevoir that is also a radiator). If you had a larger reservoir, you might lower the temperature slightly, as the water in the reservoir would stay for longer and possibly dissipate some heat (once again, a reservator might improve that)

I think it should lower the temperature, but only for a limited time period. You can use chemistry to figure it out and stuff but I don't know the formulas right off hand.

It would take longer for temperatures to rise because it has to heat the large resevoir too.

Thanks guys good to know...anything else i can do to further drop the heat?

My temps will still occoasionally hit 50 but very infrequently. It usually hovers around 47 with my OC after I have been playing FEAR for a few hours and folding on the second core...maybe this is the limit...as a side note my ZALMAN would hit 55c at my current OC and sometimes even higher.

Reseat the CPU waterblock. How much thermal paste did you use? you only need a bb sized blob. Try that ans see what temps you get.
