EKWB EK-CoolStream CE 280

The other core components of any water cooling system, the radiator, are available from EKWB in various versions - newly added are the CoolStream-CE models. These are very similar to the CoolStream-PE models, also featuring a medium thickness, but are designed for 140mm fans. They once again combine high-quality craftsmanship, performance, and design. The matte black finish and a very straightforward design with few rounded elements create a subtly elegant look. The thickness of 45mm, along with the larger surface area provided by the use of 140mm fans, enables impressive cooling performance - both passively and actively, thanks to a fin density of 16 FPI. Other qualities are primarily hidden in the details. This is evident when looking at the scale: weighing in at 1.12 kg, this 280mm version owes its weight to the generous use of copper for the fins and pipes. The end chambers, on the other hand, are made of brass, while the housing is constructed from aluminum and steel - the ideal material has been used in every instance. The fin design has been optimally tuned for heat dissipation with 140mm fans, making the radiator suitable for both passive operation or low speeds in silent systems, as well as high speeds in performance systems. With its particularly large area due to the mounting option for two 140mm fans, this version offers very high cooling performance and can cool multiple components in the system. Integration into the circuit is achieved with two G1/4-inch threads, which are equipped with pre-installed extenders for maximum connection compatibility. The necessary fittings are not included. However, the required 5mm and 30mm screws are provided for installing the necessary fans on the radiator and for mounting the radiator in the case.
