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. 

2. 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. 

3. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 560mm

The world-renowned manufacturer Alphacool is currently the only manufacturer in the world to use pure copper for all water-bearing parts. The pre-chambers, water channels and fins are all made of pure copper. As a result, Alphacool radiators offer the highest thermal conductivity, which means that the performance limit is significantly higher than with aluminium radiators. In short, the cooling capacity is simply higher if you want to dissipate a lot of heat. Copper has been the best choice of material in the water cooling sector for years.

All Alphacool radiators are designed for silent operation. This means that you do not need fans with particularly high static pressure to achieve the desired performance, but can rely on normal fans with low speed. The loss of performance compared to special fans for radiators is therefore minimal and can normally be ignored. Of course, those who want to achieve maximum cooling performance and rely on customised fans for radiators will not be disappointed. Maximum performance does not suffer as a result. Thanks to the copper and the high-quality manufacturing process, you still get an enormous increase in performance for your water-cooled components, even with high-performance fans.

The fans are mounted with the enclosed 30 or 35 mm M3 screws. All Alphacool radiators offer protection that prevents the screws from being screwed into the cooling fins. A metal plate underneath the holes prevents the screws from penetrating further. To mount the radiator directly on the housing, suitable screws are included in the scope of delivery. 

4. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 120mm

All main elements, not just the fins and channels, but also the pre-chambers, are made of copper. This inherently provides a performance advantage where other radiators fall short. The internal structure is designed to be on par with radiators from other manufacturers, and the separate pre-chambers clearly define the path of the coolant. A high flow rate increases the cooling performance of the entire system. The flat end chamber of the NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 120mm also allows for more space during installation, as the overall length is reduced. 

5. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper X-Flow 480mm

The new Alphacool NexXxos radiator generation, a name synonymous with experience and quality, brings a breath of fresh air to the radiator market.

Every user of water cooling needs a radiator, and everyone has different demands for the heat exchanger. Naturally, customers always want the best in its class. The Alphacool NexXxoS radiators have arrived to challenge the best in their class and to be the top radiator in all areas and sizes. No more back and forth; with Alphacool's NexXoS radiators, you know exactly what you have.

Alphacool has been a driving force in the development and improvement of radiators for years. 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 header tanks, are made of copper. This inherently leads to a performance boost where other radiators fall short.

The Alphacool NexXxoS X-Flow radiators differ significantly in design from conventional radiators. The X-Flow radiators are designed for high flow rates. The angled copper chambers on both sides are identically constructed. This allows water to flow simultaneously through all available channels to the other chamber, where it exits the radiator. 

6. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper Radiator V.2

Alphacool is an internationally renowned company specializing in water cooling solutions for both industrial and end customers, continuously developing innovations and improvements that enhance cooling performance and the aesthetic appeal of home and business computers and servers.
