Conclusion:

I'm about to wrap this review up but before I do so, one last screenshot taken after 2 1/2 hours of stressing with every possible fan in the Exos and my case running @ 100%



Pretty impressive for an all-in-one water-cooling solution no? I must say though the noise was killing my ears while doing this test ;) .


The time I passed writing this review certainly wasn't a waste of time. It has been a while since I last had a water-cooling setup to play with and I must say that the silence introduced by the use of the Koolance Exos really is astonishing and performance wise there is nothing to complain about! Probably you can assemble units that cool your system even better, but then you'll be searching, comparing and doubting for quite a while not to mention how much more money you will have spent!!

Pros:
Priced @ 330 euro (Exos+cpu cooler), some products are more expensive and underperform
Very complete kit
Own case can be kept, without any modifications
cooling system always starts up at system boot
The entire cooling system only requires 8-10W

Cons:
The clamps to secure the tubing could be easier to close
Loud with fans @ 100%



For die-hard overclockers performance might be a little under expectations but for those amongst you that aren't shy of a little speed gain without having to deal with cooling problems this is certainly a must have!

So, that's it for today folks, I hope you found this review useful, thanks for your time and a "big Teletubbie hug" to Wim @ Loveno for making this review possible ;)
