I'm thinking about trying out AIO liquid Coolers, and the Zalman Reserator 3 Max Dual really caught my eye, problem is, there aren't that many reviews on it, i've read the few here on this site, Newegg and watched youtube videos showcasing it, i was wondering if this is a good purchase, reliable and if it would fit in a CM haf 932 advanced?

What CPU do you have?

I wouldn't really suggest liquid cooling at all. It is noisy, technically less reliable, and performs just as well (sometimes worse, sometimes better) than a good air cooler.

If I were to go and get a liquid cooler today I would be getting the Swiftech H220x. And if I was going to get a cooler in general, I would be getting the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3.

And yes, the Zalman would be compatible with the CM HAF 932 Advanced.

I currently have the Corsair Hydro H90 and can say with out a doubt that my old CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo performed just as well with a push/pull configuration.

EDIT: But as a side note, the huge radiator did detract from the pretty led lights on my RAM. Definitely not a problem with a closed loop cooler.

thanks for the response,
i will be getting the i7-4790k, i was looking for a liquid cooler and came across this article

http://www.pcgamer.com/closed-loop-liquid-cooler-roundup-8-coolers-reviewed/#page-2

and it said the Reserator 3 Max Dual offered the best in straight cooling performance, plus i liked that it had blue LED so it fit my haf 932 blue style, i didn't care much for sound. but i liked your answer, and i think ill do that, much appreciated
