Hey guys, i cant seem to decide whether to get the Exos AL or Exos 2 from koolance. There is about a 200w cooling difference according to their graph thing, but would the exos AL be enough for cpu (a64 x2 4200), nforce 4 sli northbridge, and 7800gtx? its a 1/4" system, is that too small, i dont have any experience with water cooling and want to incorporate one on my up coming build. do i really need to spend the extra 150 for the exos 2 to future proof my watercooling system, or are the smaller processes (ie 65nm) gonna bring down the temps to where i wont need a ton of cooling power? thx for your advice.

I had an AL on an overclocked Athlon 2600-M/NB/5900U system and loved it.These are a breeze to set up and run, and simple and effective at 33c idle and never above 37c load. Personaly though, if I went that route today I'd probably go the Exos2, because of the upgraded fans and larger tubing. IMO the extra is worth it.
 
the new process solves the leakage problems 90nm has supposively, intel experimenting with the leakage problems is dothan.. look at how much heat that makes and it has a huge ammount of cache
for the money, build a custom water cooling system, my system cost $275 with video card block
 
Right now I'm using a koolance exos 2 coupled with aqua computer blocks and it has no problem handling the heat from, nb, cpu, and 2 6800 gt clocked beyond ultra speed.

Plus, with the exos 2, they're using 120mm which is a lot quieter then the earlier 80mm fans.
 
what do you have cooling your ram on the 6800's, just some passive heatsinks?
 
I just put a setup very similar to this one in the review into a customers machine:

I got almost the same results, if fact the temps were a bit lower because my computer room is about 72 ambient.

I liked it so much I just ordered one. Easy to install, quiet, total no hassel cooling soulution in my opinion. At the moment the best deal seems to be:

That price includes the water block.
