Ghost2520 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 I'm looking at both the Corsair Hydracool200 and the Koolance Exos system. Which is better? I'm looking for best for OC'ing, most LAN party safe, and quietest/most reliable. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 The Hydracool200 would be best. It is LAN party safe. Probably best for OCing. It is most reliable but about 56 dB on full fan...but it's still nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 How many decibals is it on the stealth setting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey6915 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 exos ------no. hydrocool lo0ks better and runs cooler but the water block is ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Half the reason I wanted to go to watercooling is because I wanted a quieter system for sneaking on and playing Counter-Strike at three in the morning. At 56 decibals the hydracool200 is louder than a blowdryer!(Not so good for sneaking on the internet at night) Well I am thinking more towards the exos system, is that one at all LAN safe? Also does anyone know if it will cool a AMD Athlon 2500+ Barton very well? I think it should but I am just wondering because that is my next processor... Thanks.

wanksta Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 i have a 2500+ barton processor and it is great. i highly suggest it and you should be able to find it for no more than $95 to $100 with shipping. The water block should cool it just fine if not better. I say better, because the barton core is longer/ larger than normal cores, therefore there is more surface area to decipitate the heat and cools the cpu more efficiently. -------------------- AthlonXP 2500+ Barton OCed to 2800+ 12.5 x 166= 2.08 Ghz A7n8x DX motherboard GForce2 gts 32 MB (need a new one) 1 Corsair Xms 512mb PC2700 120 gig Western Digital 7200 8mb cache Verbatim 52x/24x/52x CDRW Volcano 11+ (get temps of 38C OCed) 4 air intakes, 2 air outtakes (excluding PS) 9 fans total ATX case with 500W PS 17" flat panel Kogi monitor entire comp w/o moniter $515 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 I was comparing prices on the internet, and the koolance systems that are built in to case are pretty much the same price as the external cooling ones so I think I am going to buy one of those... does anyone know if the smaller, and slightly cheeper one is the same cooling technology just the case is smaller, or is it a crappier cooling system? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyCUnDaGroUnD Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 Go with Exos, better cooling and easily fits on top of case. Corsiar has their HydroCool out but doesnt perform that well and i heard that the fan is noisy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost2520 Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 yah, the fan is 56 decibals... louder as a hairdryer. So I thought that the cooling in the exos was exactly the same as inside the cases, just inside and not portabal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
