Water Cooling Radiator Thickness
The corsair hydro x series xr5 120mm water cooling radiator delivers extreme customer cooling performance with a 30mm radiator thickness and premium copper core construction with a high quality polyurethane coating.
Water cooling radiator thickness. Typically radiators can range anywhere from 120mm to 480mm. The swiftech mcr 320 qp radiator is approximately half the thickness of the xspc rx360 radiator but has 150 more surface fin density measured in fpi fins per inch. The effective radiator thickness is always a few millimeters thinner than the outer shell. Time to continue the story about radiators for liquid cooling.
The radiator thickness also varies by size with smaller radiators measuring in a bit thicker to offer more cooling in less space. When we refer to radiator size we re actually talking about two dimensions. We have covered the basics about radiators in the part 1 blog and in part 2 we even showed some charts. Premium copper construction a premium copper radiator core and 25 micron thick cooling fins provide a high thermal transfer rate optimized for performance copper water blocks.
Fpi does help quite a bit. We have shown how two of the most popular radiator sizes 120 and 140mm with different. Thickness and length in millimeters. Have a blackice xtreme 360mm rad with 20fpi cooling an i7 3820 and.
The hydro x series xr5 is easy to mount and uses standard g1 4 threads. Performance pcs has the largest selection of water cooling radiators from single radiators dual radiators triple radiators passive radiators to extreme radiators. Part 2 clarified things about radiator performance how radiator performance is expressed and how do we read radiator performance charts. When it comes to performance the kraken does its job well at all sizes but can be pretty loud when the fans are running at full blast.
A water cooling radiator is necessary for transferring heat from the water to the air. Good to see some water good to see some water cooling reviews here. 54mm radiator thickness delivers extreme cooling performance with high airflow or low noise fans. This is necessary so the fan mounting screws don t hit the radiator fins and also to get some space between the fan and the fins.
