This is a very elegent cooling solution. It goes very nice with my "oldschool" Lian Li case.
This is a very high quality cooling system.
This is the silver, brushed aluminum finish version I chose to match my Lian Li cases.
This has a thermocouple attached to the CPU waterblock to monitor temp. The unit automatically adjusts fan speed to maintain temps.
This is the CPU water block with the socket 939 adapter. No worries about how the block contacts the CPU as it is pressed down in the center. This is made of gold plated copper with a resin waterbox.
Here it is installed on my DFI SLI Infinity mobo.
These are the 2 NVidia 7900 GTX cards I had laying around unused.They are much lighter without the copper oem heatsink, 4 heatpipes, double slot. Again, perfect ease of attaching. The point of force is in the center making proper contact almost foolproof.
Again gold plated copper with resin waterbox. These GPU waterblocks come with the RAM heat sinks. There were many other styles and type to choose from, these are the basic economy versions. The inlets and outlets rotate 360 degrees for ease of routing the lines.
These are still double slot cards, but no problems with one card overheating because the fan is blocked by the other. Which was the reason the 7900GTX cards have been laying around unused.
The CPU waterblock takes up less space than a low profile cooler.
Now to install everything and hook up the lines.
Almost finished, just need to fill it up.
The CPU waterblock has the main 3/8" line to it. Liquid flows in the bottom and out the top, displacing any air.
The 3/8" line is split into two 1/4" lines with a splitter fitting to supply both GPU blocks.
This is the interface with the inside of the case. The lines pass through holes. The connection supplies power to the EXOS2 as well as thermocouple connections and the automatic shut down feature in case of high temps.
The cooling lines come out the back of the unit and pass through holes in the supplied slot cover. This connection supplies power to the EXOS2 as well as the sensors and the automatic shut down feature.
I used a Zalman on the Ageia PhysX card for silent operation.
The Zalman is a perfect fit on the Ageia PhysX card as long as you place the ram heat sinks after installing the cooler.
Now the system is filled and operational. This is ~75% distilled water with 25% other stuff. This system pushes out nice volumes of liquid. This was my first liquid cooling experience. The Koolance EXOS2 is a very nice complete liquid cooling package.
This is the quietest system I have ever assembled. The power supply is a 750 watt Cooler Master Real Power Pro, it is almost silent. The two 120mm case fans are very quiet and run ~1500 rpm. The Opteron 180 is clocked at 2.6 Ghz, max cpu temp at 47C with ~80% fan speed for quiet operation. I am very pleased with how this turned out.
