Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 80mm Single Radia | 35490

I recently started a PC build that would require no more than 72mm external chassis dimensions, with the added challenge of making it a watercooled solution. This rad hit the mark perfectly. Currently, I'm using this rad to cool a i9-9900k, with an EK Monoblock, 0.5L reservoir, D5 EK pump, and 3x Noctua 60mm fans. I'm working on a bench at the moment, waiting to finish component selection and placement before I start working on a custom hardwood PC chassis. Once I've reviewed the performance metrics and am satisfied with the results, I plan to buy a second unit of this rad along with a waterblocked GPU to the loop.I've performed preliminary performance benchmarks to see thermal delta over a conventional 120mm fan (240mm length) radiator at idle and peak. So far it looks like it doesn't add more than 3 to 5 degC, which seems like a perfectly good trade-off considering the dimensional constraints of the system.I'm very satisfied so far, Alphacool radiators are excellent and this 60mm product is no exception!

Muy adecuado, nada mas verlo me quede impresionado.Tiene un gran grosor, ideal para sistemas pushpull (ventiladores a ambos lados del radiador), aunque yo solo lo tengo montado con sistema pull (es decir montar los ventiladores en u solo lado del radiador).Os recomiendo encarecidamente que os asegureis de que los ventiladores que pongáis sean de una buena presión estática, de esta manera será más fácil enfriar el radiador (lo digo porque tiene un gran grosor y hay que tener buenos ventiladores para refrigerar tal radiador).Por cualquier cosilla iré actualizando esta opinión pero de momento muy contento con el radiador

Installation was simple as well. I did a quick rinse with distilled water and got a few black specs of paint out then was ready to go.I added this to an existing water loop with a 240mm radiator, 1070ti gpu, and ryzen 7 cpu. My temperatures dropped an additional 7C during stress testing.It would have been nice if there was an additional inlet so that I could use that as a fill port and not have to have a reservoir (I'm assuming most other people are buying this for a compact water build). But I filled it from the other radiator in my case so a non-issue. Just something others may want to consider for a compact water loop.

I fitted this into my car's cabin air duct and it's working fine after 4000 miles.

I put an AMD 9370 into a full ATX HTPC. The processor was already hard to cool, but putting it in this case left me with only one place to put a radiator, and it was 80mm x 160mm max... so I took a chance. I'd previously cooled this processor with a 240mm All-in-One water cooler that just couldn't cut it. This radiator seems to have the equivalent surface area as the AiO (I did the math but can't find it now) and completely out-performs it. Unfortunately, I still had to adjust the clock and voltage a bit to keep the processor under 70°C during a stress test, but I wouldn't have expected this radiator to dissipate heat better than one that is almost twice its length and width! I will say it's almost double the thickness of the AiO radiator, so placement in an HTPC had to be done carefully, but the important part is that it's great at what it's supposed to do: Dissipate heat.
