Alphacool NexXxos XT45 Full Copper Radiator 80, 80mm x 1, Single Fan, Black

The Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 80mm Radiator is an 80 mm radiator for one 80 mm fan, from the XT45 thickness class. Alphacool gives its dimensions as 121.5 x 41 x 82 mm. It has two G1/4 threads, one IN and one OUT, and M3 fan threads.

Pure copper

Alphacool describes itself as a world-renowned manufacturer, and as currently the only manufacturer in the world that uses pure copper for all water-carrying parts. Here the pre-chambers, water channels and fins are all made of pure copper. As a result, it says, Alphacool radiators offer the highest thermal conductivity, which means that the performance limit is significantly higher than with aluminum radiators. In short, in its words, the cooling capacity is simply higher if you want to dissipate a lot of heat. Alphacool adds that copper has been the best choice in water cooling materials for years. Its text for the series adds that the new NexXxoS radiators are the first to truly deserve the "Full copper" attribute. All main parts are made from copper, not only the fins and channels but the chambers also. Alphacool claims this brings an improvement in performance where other radiators are left without a chance. It also says the material already gives an advantage over the competition, and that the inner structure is up to par with the competition.

Chambers and flow

Separated chambers give the coolant a clear direction, allowing high flow rates, which Alphacool says improve the performance of the whole cooling loop. The chambers on the heat exchanger are flat, and the reduced overall length that results is there to increase mounting flexibility.

What the loop needs

Both G1/4 threads are used, one as inlet and one as outlet, so the radiator takes two fittings. Alphacool allows a thread length of 5 mm at most on them. The 80 mm fans go on M3 threads, and the fan screws are in the box.

The next thickness we stock for 80 mm fans is the NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper X-Flow 80mm Single Radiator.

Notes

• Alphacool asks that the radiator be used only in conjunction with clear, transparent water cooling fluids. It warns that the particles and additives in pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses. That can also result in voiding the manufacturer's warranty.
