Details
The Alphacool Core XT45 Full Copper 360mm Radiator is a 360 mm radiator for three 120 mm fans on one side, or six with fans on both sides. Its technical data gives the height as 50.00 mm. It is the first radiator in Alphacool's Core Series and comes with two magnetic side panels, one with aRGB lighting and one unlit.

Full copper
Alphacool says its Full Copper Radiator Series has set the standard in liquid cooling performance for more than a decade. Now Alphacool introduces that build into the Core Series. As with the proven NexXxoS models, all water-bearing components of the radiator are made entirely of copper, including the fins, channels and chambers. Alphacool credits the copper with ensuring excellent thermal conductivity. Inside, an optimized structure uses sixteen instead of twelve water channels, which Alphacool says provide better flow dynamics, while the refined fin design further enhances heat transfer. Alphacool's claim for the result is noticeably improved, outstanding cooling performance.
Housing and side panels
The redesigned housing has clean contours, and Alphacool says it delivers the cooling paired with an elegant, modern aesthetic. The look is enhanced by two interchangeable side panels, and each radiator comes with both. One is the panel featuring discreet integrated aRGB lighting, the other the classic version without it, so either look is available out of the box. Thanks to magnetic mounting, the two versions can be swapped without tools, effortlessly according to Alphacool. Alphacool says the aRGB version adds a striking visual accent, making the radiator a true centerpiece in any cooling setup. The panel carries 18 digital aRGB LEDs that run on 5V through a 3-Pin JST connector, and an ARGB adapter is in the box.
What the loop needs
The radiator features two G1/4 ports for IN and OUT, designed in Alphacool's characteristic Core style, so it takes two fittings. Alphacool describes them as made from high-quality brass and precisely integrated into the end chamber, so that they combine durability with a clean appearance. A third G1/4 port on the opposite side is the fill and vent port. It simplifies maintenance by allowing easy filling and draining of the cooling loop, and the G1/4 plug in the box closes it. Thread length in the ports is 5 mm at most. The radiator takes 120 mm fans on M3 threads, and the box holds twelve each of the M3x30, M3x35 and M3x5mm screws.
