I am wanting to go for some Water Cooling for all the obvious reasons; in no way am i looking for "extreme OC", just something reliable which which will be silent, bring my temps down, and let me get a bit more out of the system i have.

I'd like somthing low maintenance, and easy to install; does the Exos suit the bill

thanks

Exos is exactly what you want. My local Best Buy sells Koolance, that should tell you it's not gonna be all that hard to setup. At the lowest fan speed the Exos is pretty much silent, and cools very well. Don't own one *yet* but built a system for somebody and they got the Exos2, I think aside from a bigger pump, the setup process is about the same. I'd never done any water cooling ever. I read over the instructions and had it up and running in no time. Don't see there being much need for maintenance. It does involve liquid, so installation will require you be more careful to prevent leaks. But you won't have problems if you follow the directions and take your time (it won't be much time...)

I love the look, we ended up putting blue UV liquid in it, and with the blacklight it looks BAD ASS at night threw the window panel.

hmmm; sounds good. but $300 for the Exos 2 is a bit more than i wanted to spend. Anyone have experience with the Exos 1?
