The Xice ExternalCool EC900/H Kit uses a unique design which is slightly different than traditional external water cooling units such as the Koolance EXOS or the Corsair HydroCool. The EC900 is a standalone unit that sits vertically when placed on a flat surface. The construction of the unit is very good consisting of an aluminum based frame covered with a black hard plastic exterior. On the top and bottom of the unit are a series of ventilation slots which aid in the passive cooling design.

To simplify the process of filling the ExternalCool EC900/H Kit; Xice has incorporated a built-in reservoir with an easy to remove fill cap. In order to fill the system all that is required is to twist off the fill cap and add in the Xice Anti Corrosive Protection Fluid.

Towards the bottom of the Xice ExternalCool EC900/H Kit are two sets of metal feet with soft foam pads. The metal feet provide additional height for the unit and allow air to be circulated in the bottom set of ventilation slots. To connect the Xice xpk CPU Heatsink and Xice xgk GPU Heatsink together with the EC900, there is one inlet and one outlet on the rear portion of the unit. The two external plugs use the same compression nut fittings as the rest of the components included in this package.
