Details
The Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper X-Flow 140mm Radiator is a 140 mm radiator for one 140 mm fan, 30 mm thick, with two G1/4 connections. Water enters at one copper chamber and leaves at the opposite one. The thicker X-Flow radiator in the same fan size is the XT45 Full Copper X-Flow 140mm.

Full copper
Alphacool says the new NexXxoS radiators are the first to truly deserve the "Full copper" attribute. All main parts are made from copper: not only the fins and channels, but the chambers also. According to Alphacool this brings an improvement in performance where other radiators are left without a chance.
X-Flow
In structure, the X-Flow radiators differentiate materially from the standard radiators: they are designed for high flow rates. On both sides sit beveled copper chambers that have an identical structure. The water is sent jetting through all available channels at the same time to the other chamber, from which it then leaves the radiator.
Mounting
Versatile and easy mounting is one of the main points on which the research and development department at Alphacool focused. In this series the chamber offers three possibilities for fitting installation on both inlet and outlet, but not on the NexXxoS ST30. Where there are three, less angled fittings are needed, improving flow rates and offering more mounting possibilities. This radiator is an ST30, with two G1/4 connections in all. Alphacool adds that even mounting and installation of fans and radiator grills is easy and versatile with these radiators. The M3 threads are standard in the radiator sector, and M3 screws are available in all lengths at an affordable price.
Screw protection
The dreaded insertion of a screw too far into the radiator does not result in expensive damage here, even with a long screw. 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 spacing and fans
Alphacool calls fin spacing always an important factor in radiator design. It says the fin design of the new series allows it to perform extremely well even with slow-spinning and medium-speed fans. This is not only pleasant 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.
The NexXxoS series
Alphacool presents the series under a name that, in its words, stands for experience and quality and has come to bring a fresh breeze to the radiator market. Its starting point: every user of a water cooling system needs a radiator, and everyone has different requirements towards the heat exchanger. Of course the customer always demands the best in its class, it says. Its claim is that the radiators have come to compete with and to beat the best in their class and to be the best radiator in all sizes. Alphacool promises no more endless choices without a clear class leader and calls the series "the one tool for all your cooling needs". It also says it has been the company to introduce new developments and improvements in the radiator and water cooling sector generally many times over the last years. Following this tradition, here, too, it provides the popular sizes of the 120mm series. Different thicknesses, 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm, underscore the broad spectrum that these radiators cover. Alphacool sums them up as the result of experience and powerful performance meeting future-oriented design and well-thought through solutions.
What the loop needs
Two G1/4 connections, so the loop takes two G1/4 fittings. It holds one 140 mm fan with M3 fan thread. The size for two 140 mm fans is the ST30 Full Copper X-Flow 280mm.

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.
