Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 420mm Radiator Plug

What kind of screw plug would this radiator use?

• Article no.: 14170

I noticed the Alphacool Eiszapfen screw plug V.2 G1/4 (Article no.: 17468) is the only screw plug available but it says its only for v.2 radiators.

HI!

You can’t use the V.2 screw plugs with article number 17468 on this radiator. They are only intended for the HPE radiators. For this radiator, you need the regular, classic screw plugs such as article 17252.

how do you get around the plugs getting in the way when mounting it , since it bulges out and isnt flush with the surface

By placing fans between the radiator and the case. An XT45 should generally be run in push & pull; otherwise, its performance will actually be worse than an ST30.
