1. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 360mm
Free space during assembly is one of the central points on which the development department of the Alphacool NexXxos ST30 360mm has concentrated. All main elements, not only the fins and channels, but also the antechambers are made of copper. This already brings an increase in performance due to the material, where other radiators fall by the wayside. The internal design is at eye level with radiators from other manufacturers and separate antechambers clearly define the path of the coolant. A high flow rate increases the cooling capacity in the complete system. The flat end chamber of the NexXxos ST30 360mm also allows more space during installation, as the overall length is thus smaller.

5. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 420mm
These models are among the first radiators that truly deserve the "Full Copper" designation. All main components, not just the fins and channels, but also the pre-chambers, are made of copper. This inherently provides a performance advantage that other radiators cannot match. The internal structure is constructed to be on par with radiators from other manufacturers, and separate pre-chambers clearly define the path of the coolant. A high flow rate enhances the cooling performance throughout the entire system. A flat end chamber also creates more space during installation, as the overall length is reduced. Space during installation is one of the key focus areas for the development team at Alphacool. The pre-chamber has three options for positioning the inlet and outlet connections, reducing the need for angles, which increases flow and provides more installation options. Therefore, this radiator can be installed even in tight cases where internal installation would otherwise be impossible.

7. MagiCool Xflow Copper Radiator III
Magic doesn't necessarily have to be about superficial showmanship and simple tricks. The Chinese manufacturer MagiCool, on the contrary, offers solid water cooling technology with an excellent price-performance ratio.
With the Xflow-Copper series, MagiCool has launched a special line of radiators that feature an inlet on one end and an outlet on the other, rather than the usual configuration of both at the same end. This significantly simplifies sensible tubing layouts in many systems. At the same time, the radiators, with a thickness of only 27 mm, are ideal for situations where space is limited. Thanks to copper fins with 16 FPI, there is no compromise on cooling performance. The fans can be mounted either on one side or on both sides. In the triple variant offered here, up to six 120 mm fans can be used.
When purchasing an Xflow-Copper heat exchanger, it is important to consider not only the height of 27 mm but also the length. For this triple model, the length is 392 mm, plus the connections that are mounted directly on the end faces. These have a G1/4-inch thread each. The necessary screws for mounting three fans and for securing it in the case are included, as well as three decoupling frames for vibration damping.
Technical details:
- Dimensions: 120 x 27 x 392 mm (W x H x D)
- Weight: approx. 800 g
- Material: Copper (fins), Brass (chambers)
- Color: Black
- Compatible fans: dual-side 3x 120 mm
- Fin density: 16 FPI
- Pressure tested up to: 1.5 bar
- Threads: 2x G1/4 inch
- Delivery includes:
- 12x long screws UNC 6-32 (30 mm)
- 12x short screws UNC 6-32 (5 mm)
- 3x decoupling frames.
8. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30
The NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper X-Flow Radiator is made almost entirely of copper. Not only are the fins and channels made from this highly thermally conductive material, but also the inlet chambers. Designed for 120mm fans, the radiator can accommodate up to six fans in a push/pull configuration. Thanks to its thickness, it fits into tight cases and provides excellent cooling performance due to its full copper construction.
With the X-Flow design and four G1/4-inch connections, the radiator allows for various inlet and outlet configurations. This makes it easy and flexible to integrate into the water circuit. The fin spacing of 16 FPI (fins per inch) has been chosen to achieve optimal cooling even at low fan speeds and without high static pressure. This allows for a system that is both quiet and cool. M3 screws for mounting fans and the radiator are included. Protective plates under the threads prevent over-tightening of the screws and thus damage to the fins.
