    There are a couple of comments about the external chassis I wanted to throw in here. This is the first cooling system I've seen that uses two pumps to move the water around. Both are housed in the reservoir with each one connected to the connection nozzles. One of them is obviously for intake while the other is for the outlet. I thought it was interesting since most system rely on one pump for both functions. There is a safety pressure valve on the reservoir. I believe I have seen this before but not on many systems. The three 80mm fans that are visible on the top of the Exos are all used to blow air upwards, sucking air through side vents on either side of the heat exchanger.

    I can't believe the system didn't at least come with a CPU cooler standard. For this review I used the CPU-200 Silver, it claims to be designed for heat sources up to 200 watts!
