Details
The Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 560mm Radiator is a 560 mm radiator for four 140 mm fans, 86 mm thick by Alphacool's dimensions. Fins, channels and chambers are copper, the housing is steel. The 60 mm radiator in the same fan size is the UT60 Full Copper 560mm.

The NexXxoS series
Alphacool introduces the new NexXxoS radiators under a name that, it says, stands for experience and quality. In its words they have come to bring a fresh breeze to the radiator market. Its reasoning: every user of a water cooling system needs a heat exchanger, everyone has different requirements towards it, and of course the customer always demands the best in its class. Alphacool says the series is there to compete with and to beat the best in their class, and to be the best radiator in all sizes. In its words there are no more endless choices without a clear class leader, because NexXxoS is "the one tool for all your cooling needs". It also describes itself as the company that has been the one to introduce new developments and improvements in the radiator and water cooling sector generally many times over the last years.
Full copper
Following this tradition, Alphacool calls the new radiators the first to truly deserve the "Full copper" attribute. All main parts are made from copper: not only the fins and channels but also the chambers. Alphacool says this brings an improvement in performance where other radiators are left without a chance. In its view the material already gives an advantage over the competition, and the inner structure is up to par with it. Separated chambers give the coolant a clear direction, allowing high flow rates, and those improve the performance of the whole cooling loop. The chambers on the heat exchanger are flat, and the reduced overall length helps to increase mounting flexibility.
Ports and mounting
Versatile and easy mounting is one of the main points on which the research and development department at Alphacool focused. The chamber offers three possibilities for fitting installation on both the inlet and the outlet (not on the NexXxoS ST30). Less angled fittings are needed that way, improving flow rates and offering more mounting possibilities. Hence the radiator can even be installed in tight enclosures where internal installation is otherwise not a possibility. A G1/4 screw plug allows easy de-aeration of the radiator and hassle-free vertical installation of the heat exchanger, a feature Alphacool lists on all UT60 and NexXxoS Monsta. The threaded opening can even be used for filling, e.g. in combination with a Fillport.
Fans and screws
Versatility is the essence of the new NexXxoS series, Alphacool says. The radiators are available in different versions to be used with 120mm, 140mm or 180mm fans, and in different thicknesses. For Alphacool the choice of 30mm, 45mm and 60mm offers the perfect radiator for every purpose. Mounting and installation of fans and radiator grills is easy and versatile as well: the M3 threads are standard in the radiator sector, and M3 screws are available in all lengths at an affordable price. Even the dreaded insertion of a screw too far into the radiator does not result in expensive damage. Unlike other radiators, Alphacool says, the NexXxoS series is equipped with an internal protective ledge, which stops the screw before it damages the fins.
Fin design
Fin spacing is always an important factor in radiator design, and this radiator has 10 fins per inch. Alphacool says the fin design of the new series allows it to perform extremely well even with slow-spinning and medium-speed fans. That is pleasant not only thanks to the fact that it avoids unnecessary noise. It also means that the choice of fans that can be used with these radiators is not restricted. Alphacool sums the radiators up as the result of experience and powerful performance meeting future-oriented design and well-thought through solutions.
What the loop needs
Alphacool's technical data counts 6x G1/4 connections. A loop uses two of them, one as inlet and one as outlet, so the radiator takes two G1/4 fittings, and the plugs in the box close the openings that stay unused. Four 140 mm fans go on the M3 fan threads with the mounting screws from the box, which come in two lengths.

Notes
- Use only clear, transparent water cooling fluids. Alphacool warns that the particles and additives in pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses, which can result in voiding the manufacturer's warranty as well.
