Convert koolance exos 6mm to 10mm(3/*)

[Srvcm909]

I have a Koolance Exos, the original with 6mm hoses as was wanting to convert it to 10mm(3/8 for more effective watercooling and to add an additional radiator. I purchased some additional items and need assistance in what else to purchase to complete my project.

The Koolance Exos is the early version with LED readout and 6mm hoses of which i would like to upgrade to 10mm hoses.It has 3 each 80mm fans on the top as well.

I purchased a 120mm triple radiator and an additional pump a TNK-400. Ide like to see how someone else would set this up for their rig.

FYI My system is a Asus M4A79T-Deluxe board with 16 gig Gskill ram.
AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition and XFX Radeon HD 6790 video card. I colling the CPU only and want to incorporate the following items
SWiftech MCW60GPU block and Koolance CPU-340 with triple radiator and TNK-400 pump.

Everything looks great, I would ditch the original pump for now and use TNK also 12mm hose in case you want to add something to the loop,providing you have the room for the larger diam.

I'd sell the Exos as is on Egay or craiglist, and use the money for a reservoir, block and barbs
Check the W/c sticky for some tips as well

Ive decide to take your advice and sell the Koolance Exos on Ebay. I got most of the other items and only need an additional reservoir.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice Im setting up the system to use the TNK-400 Pump. I got 10mm barbs. Should I go with 12mm ?? Im only cooling an CPU and GPU with no intentions of going further.

If you already have the 10mm barbs, use those and buy 10mm ID tubing,
Theres very little difference over tubing sizes performancewise, its mainly down to aesthetics
