Make No Compromises, Use Copper. – As usual, Alphacool uses pure copper for the NexXxoS ST25 slim radiators. The end chambers, the water channels and the cooling fins are all made of copper, a unique selling point worldwide. No other manufacturer relies on pure copper for all these components combined. As a result, Alphacool has been producing one of the most popular and highest performing radiators on the market for many years, providing the perfect foundation for every water cooling system.
Full Cooling Capacity – To maximize the performance of a radiator, Alphacool reaches deep into its bag of tricks. Copper is the starting point. With a thermal conductivity of 400 W/(mK) for copper compared to 236 W/(mK) for aluminium, the winner is clear. Alongside this is the special fin density. Alphacool is one of the oldest companies in the field of water cooling and has carried out countless laboratory tests. The result is a fin spacing of 15 FPI. This means that the air flow is only slightly obstructed as the air can pass through even without high pressure. However, the cooling capacity does not suffer from this, on the contrary. To use the airflow optimally, all cooling fins have small serrations. These are tiny flaps that guide the airflow in the desired direction and increase the surface area. In the case of radiators, they are barely 1 mm high, but still provide controlled air turbulence to increase cooling capacity and minimise airflow noise.
