I have been thinking of going wet for a long time. One of my problems was: No place in my case for rads etc. I also did not like the idea of having all those things full of water in my case.
I made the jump and ordered an HydroCool from Corsair. To my surprise it was a newer model that is not even mentioned on the Corsair site. Its the EX model. The black case is translucide. I always figured it was black plastic and opaque. Maybe it was translucide and I did not notice. Anyways it one nice box.
The main differences from the non-ex model is the following:
1-Replaceable fan filters for both fans
2-Lapped and polished CPU water bloc
3-New fan design for high performance with reduced noise levels.
They have also changed the filling instructions.... no more starting it up first.
Once I get it going I will post results. So far I am verry impressed with the quality of the stuff and instructions. I hope it works as well as it looks.
