like these -> http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/waterkit.asp

if the reserator is indeed 0.08 C/W it even beats the corsair... uh.
/me confused
NO...!!!...
The reason I posted the graph was to primarily illustarte how the Reserator water temps responded to input power. Yes, you "can" calculate C/W values from the data presented but that was not my intent. C/W values will vary greatly from thermal die sim to sim mainly do to different die surface areas, insulation and mounting techniques. Both Joe (Overclockers.com), pH and I believe BillA use a much smaller die size (modelled on the Athlon cores of several years ago).

So NO, the C/W values are NOT comparable and no, the Reserator does not perform better than the HydroCool 200 (~4 deg C lower on XP-2400 in Whisper mode).
