    Alphacool radiator much thinner than advertised

    Yea, i guess it's quite niche, and looking around it seems there's already a few radiators out there with smaller gaps for people who want it. Thanks for answering though. If i had more experience with water-cooling i suppose i would have known already whilst planning my build ? I've decided...

    Alphacool radiator much thinner than advertised

    Hi @Luckystricker Yea that's true, having wide air-gaps on both side does indeed give complete flexibility to never have the logo upside down, even in strange case designs and push-pull combinations with fan heads that protrude out. But personally I'd love to have the option to buy a radiator...

    Alphacool radiator much thinner than advertised

    Hi Eddy thank you for your response! Looking around it seems many radiators do indeed have a few millimeters gaps. However, my Corsair radiator that i am comparing with is this one: 115 XT Pro. It has almost no air gap. The radiator inside their 30mm casing is 28mm thick. Not just 20mm like...

    Alphacool radiator much thinner than advertised

    I just received a new 280mm Alphacool NexXoS ST30 V.2. And boy was i disappointed. It's supposed to be 30mm thick. The mount is indeed 30mm. But the actual radiator part of the radiator is only 20mm thick. There's a 5mm deep gap on each side of the mount, see photo attached. It's not a 30mm...

    Quad 3090 using Alphacool?

    @Tived Currently i'm only using a single 280mm radiator, Corsair H115 PRO XT, but i am planning to switch to alphacool as part of the GPU cooling loop. The 280mm seems to be sufficient. It gets very warm, with PBO and under full sustained load, it's peaking at around 80C with 20C room...

    Quad 3090 using Alphacool?

    Thanks! I will go with the Alphacool Eisblock Terminal and some 90° fittings. How about the pump, any benefit of using two D5 pumps for this system?

    Quad 3090 using Alphacool?

    Yea these cards run hot :D their standard TDP is 370w, but i run them at a 270w power limit. This only reduces the performance by 8-10%, but substantially lowers both the temperature and the noise with the stock air-cooler. There is space for one 2x140mm and one 4x120mm radiator in the case...

    Quad 3090 using Alphacool?

    Current setup: Asrock TRX40 Creator + AMD 3970x + 2x Inno3D 3090 iChill X3 with stock air-cooler. I use the machine for ML, not for gaming. I want to upgrade with additional 2x 3090 GPU's, but due to the size of the stock cooler, and the spacial constraints of the motherboard, there is not...
