Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 360 Radiator Review

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday's video is brought to you by Alpha cool and aquatuning whether you live in the US Canada or Europe be sure to check them out at aquatuning us for all your water cooling and modding needs Hey guys you're watching js2 cents and I've already brought you a review of the full Copper Nexus water block from alphacool and today we're going to take a look at the Nexus xt45 full Copper radiator a lot of Radiators on the market are made of a mixture of brass and copper and some of them even have aluminum in them one of the things that sets Alpha cool apart is the fact that this is a full Copper radiator tubes the tanks and the fins on this radiator are copper copper is a much better heat conductor than brass so when you can get copper in here it's a much better conductor of heat and it's going to move all of The Unwanted heat away from your CPU this model that I'm holding here is the Nexus xt45 and the reason why it's called the xt45 it's because it is 45 mm thick this is a pretty thick and pretty heavy radiator because of its full Copper construction on the end tanks here you can see that you have multiple options here for mounting of barbs you've got two on the front two on the bottom and two on the top so regardless of where you put this in your case whether it's front mounted bottom mounted top mounted or side mounted on something like a 900d uh or maybe a tj7 uh from Silverstone you're going to have all sorts of mounting options now when it comes to Hardware they do include full Copper mounting screws for your fans uh it's pretty unique the fact that they are full Copper here they also do include four full Copper uh plugs here for the four holes that you end up not using when it comes to the mounting options on this radiator now the fin design I'm not sure what the fpi is on this but the which is fins per inch however you can see right through the radiator so you know that air flow is going to really flow nicely through this radiat Ator so they're optimized for medium and low speeed fans now the mounting screws on here are standard spacing for 120 mm fans obviously this is the triple 120 or the 360 version of this radiator but what I do like is that down underneath the screw holes here even though these holes line up with some of the runs or the tubes that are in this Radiator on cheaper radiators if you screw in too far the screw goes right into that channel it puts a hole in your tube and your radiator is ruined however uh the alpha cool radiator here does have a plate that goes all the way around the mounting screws that keep you from screwing too far into your radiator tube so that's a really nice addition uh for those that are uh maybe not quite as aware of how far their screws are going down into their radiator and that's going to save you from destroying a very nice radiator such as this other than that there's really nothing in the box uh other than some bubble pop and so if you like the pop these things it's a hours and hours of enjoyment and fun so let's go ahead and get this thing inside my machine see how well it cools my 3770k and my GTX 680 this is my first full Copper radiator and I'm really excited to see how it performs compared to the Brass radiators that I currently have installed so uh let's get over here and let's tear this thing apart okay so let's go ahead and talk about the system it's cooling it is an Intel 3770k overclocked to 4.7 GHz at 1.26 Vol now we are talking about core temperatures here so the brass and copper radiator with 3120 fans had a 28 Celsius idle average and a 68 Celsius Max average on the cores however on the full Copper radiator core temperature idle is 27° C and Max on the cores was 62° C that's a 6° c average drop by simply switching to a full Copper radiator and when it comes to GTX 680 overclock to 136 MHz the story is no different we had a 32° C idle average and a 48° C Max average however with the full Copper radiator the changes were even more apparent with a 28° c idle and a 41° c maximum average on the GPU now before anybody says but Jay you have a thicker copper radiator versus a thinner brass radiator that's just not fair let's go ahead and keep in mind that the full Copper radiator only has 10 fins CR in versus the brass copper radiator 20 fins per inch so there's twice as many cooling fins on the brass so there you have it guys it's been js2 cents regarding the Nexus xt45 full Copper radiator from alphao I've been using the thing for about 5 days now and it truly is amazing what a difference a full Copper radiator can make the full Copper design and the amount of thermal conductivity that this radiator has is going to allow me to bump up my overclock just a little bit more making my thermal threshold just that much higher this is definitely a radiator to consider if you're building a full custom Loop make sure to check it out alphacool xt45 the nexos full Copper radiator and once again we have to give a very big thank you to aquatuning for setting me up with this radiator allowing me to do this review and I will see you guys in my next video but don't forget subscribe like favorite
