Koolance Exos question

What pumps are included with there newest water cooling setup?

I am looking at getting the Koolance Exos water cooling kit, but I cant find what their pump specs any where. :confused:
 
Dual pumps are koolance spec, and their system is built to perform well with the smaller tubing and the submerged pumps. Works great, I use the Exos-Al with CPU300G
 
Thats good to know, but does anyone know what the GPH is for the pumps?? I just want to know because if its too low I might look at a diff system or if its possible to change the ones that are already in it.
 
i don't think its all too high, but it's not supposed to be - it's designed to be a high turbulance system, not a high flow system.
 
Exactly, the entire system has been designed to work with the koolance tubing/blocks, so there is no need to throw around often useless GPH numbers. Besides, I don't know what they are nor where to find them anyways. Here's how I'd put it:

Official Exos GPH: Just Right.

:p

I am not sure I know what you mean by high turblance?? :confused:
 
They have a good point. The Koolance system has been carefully tested and created. Putting a bigger pump won't necessarily increase the point because of the tubing size design and the connection point between the reservoir, dual pumps, and radiator.

Sorry, I don't have the GPH numbers but you can be assured that you'll be buying an easy-to-setup and maintain watercooling kit that won't let you down in your OC'ing endeavors.

I used my older Koolance Exos to OC my CPU to 3.41GHZ from 2.8GHZ--and that's on a hot Prescott CPU!!

Thats good to know, I have a AMD64 3200 @ 2.3GHz I know that it can do 2.4 but I have to get a board that can lock the AGP/PCI, because it cant do anything 3D. It locks up as soon as I run anything that uses 3D acceleration

high turbulance = fast pushing of water through the system.

high flow = amount of water pushed through the system per hour

I'm not too sure you know what turbulence means

1. Violently agitated or disturbed; tumultuous: turbulent rapids.
2. Having a chaotic or restless character or tendency: a turbulent period in history.
3. Causing unrest or disturbance; unruly: turbulent, revolutionary undercurrents.


The water hits all kinds of things while in the waterblock and swoshes around, exposing more surface of the water to the hot side, so more energy gets absorbed. This requires more pressure as it adds resistance.



As for the pump, theyre the bare minimum for what would work. However even if you put a bigger pump in, it wouldnt help the systems, they dont respond any better to more pressure/flow.
