Koolance Exos 2 Question

[fenderltd]

Anyone here have one? If so, do you like it?
Second, the Exos 2 needs its own PSU? I am a little confused

Powers off the PSU, check that link "Power adapter to run Exos-2 systems without an ATX computer power supply".

I have read some reviews on this exos 2 but its pricey... This is an exos LT for 199.99 I am looking to purchase a complete kit soon either Swift, Corsair cool, or something.

I'm saving up for the Exos-2 I like it, I have read good things about it. Yes its pricy but I want a kit all in one solution.
I take it over other kits.

The power adapter is for users who want to have seperate power for the exos-2 unit and NOT connected into their computer.
You don't need the power adapter you can simply run a dedicated power to the exos-2 unit and it will be fine.

why do you want it on all the time? Or with the power adapter you would still need to swtich it on?

the LT is a very small cooling unit and will not get you great temps. it only has two 80mm fans on it. the original EXOS had 3 and teh EXOS2 has two 120mm fans. The new PC4 even has three 120mm fans. the LT is just a way for them to offload the cooling units from the neutered PC3-4xx series. IMHO you should go with one of their better EXOS units or an ICM (which is surprisingly powerful) if you are dead set on a Koolance system. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions i used to work there and have a pretty good knowledge of their line.

I did read a few reviews on the ICM and just wasn't sure if I wanted to use all that space. The Exos in what I have read performs better, but also the ICM has a lot cheaper price tag.
