Koolance Exos Failure

[TheGreatSatan]

My Koolance Exos water pump wasn't turning on, so my proc would heat up and then the computer would shut off. I took apart the Exos and emptied the reservoir. When inspecting the parts I found one of the hosesinside had been partially melted by laying on the heatsink. Only about half as much coolant was even going through the hose (and these hoses are about 1/4 inch tops!). Anyway, do I try to clean out the pump or do I replace it? Can it be replaced? And where do I get more hosing? Would a hardware store or something have these? Thanks.

Replace the hose and use ties to keep it off the hot bits.

You should be able to find suitable hose at a hardware store. Koolance is 6mm ID 8mm OD, so the hose is teensy weensy, but that's pretty much what I'm using too, ^_^ in my Aqua Computer and Innovatek based system.
