Take it for what it is worth, but I'll put on my two cents worth and you can either use the information or not...

First of all, I have yet to find a decent "all-in-one" water cooling solution that is worth the money you put into it. You are always better off buying components and building your own setup. Granted, it isn't as convenient, but with real components you will always get better cooling for your system.

That said, the biggest drawbacks I have seen in this pre-built water cooling scheme are tubing sizes and water volume.

- Looking at the Koolance site at the EXOS-2, I see that it uses two different sizes of tubing. The 3/8" tubing isn't bad (1/2" is better), but the 1/4" tubing will cause a restriction of water flow and will be a bottleneck that affects the entire cooling system.

- I see no information regarding the volume of water maintained in the EXOS-2 system. This is important because with higher volumes of water, there is a longer time before the liquid is recirculated through the system. This gives the radiator and reservoir more time to get the temperature of the water down before it has to run through the system to dissipate heat again. Some argue the validity of this point but my experience has shown me that systems with a higher volume of water and the same core components will run cooler than those without. All-in-one systems often have smaller amounts of liquid in the system and the results usually show in the component temperatures.

With regard to your room being air conditioned, how big is the room? For a single computer, even one with your list of components, to heat up the room that much it must be on the small side. Just as a system needs ventialtion, a room should have good airflow. I'm not sure of your circumstances, but something as simple as a fan might be beneficial in this regard to keep your room cooler and help your system cooling.

Just my thoughts.
