Vapochill XE II

[gvmichel]

Hi all.... I always wanted to move to phase-change and almost bought a LS some time ago. Now there is the XE II. It seems that the XE II is more suitable for me. Keep in mind I don't want to break any world record, just want a nice overclock and a reliable system. I'm pretty sure the XE II is not as good as the LS in cooling performance, but it is easier to move and will be smaller than a LS + PC-65 Combo. What do you guys think I should get: LS or XE II? Will the LS overclock higher then the XE II? (i don't care about 50mhz). My question is: is the XE II a good option, would you buy it?

Thanks for replying!

well if you think it's better suited to your position, then go for an XE II by all means.

Then get XE II. It's a nice system, if you like the case. IMO it's a beautiful case, but poorly inner design and seems cheap. But that's just my opinion. I've had a VapoChill SE@XE in a case just like it for about a year.

if you get an ls you dont have to get a new lianli you can use your old case and it will look fine

The XE II looks old and the cooling capacity slighly worse than LS so I´d go for LS if I were you :)

I agree. Get the LS, or even better get a Mach II and mod it.

when u regass it, how much temp improvement loaded and what gas usually comes stock? i usually see people with r404a modded prommys

around 10c´s

LS / Modded Mach2 for best temps and overclock.
XEII for good balance of low temps and low noise level.

XE/XE II cases are fugly in my opinion. Their all rounded and weird looking. Get a LS and a lian li PC65U.

Or a big case like the lian li PC75 or coolermaster stacker and put your own DIY phase-change in it.
