Details
The DarkSide LPX240 is an extra slim, low profile dual cross-flow radiator for PC water cooling, built for two 120 mm fans. At only 27.5 mm thick and 121 mm wide it fits builds with very little clearance, and DarkSide tuned the core for heat dissipation with low noise fans as well as with performance fans. Two G1/4" ports take any standard fitting, and the black side panels are tapped for fans on both faces. The core is copper, and the end tanks and side panels are brass.

Slim in thickness and width
DarkSide kept the radiator compact in the two dimensions that matter most in a tight case: thickness and width. The low 27.5 mm profile leaves room for fans in builds with limited clearance, and the narrow 121 mm body keeps the radiator away from nearby parts such as memory modules.
Push, pull or push-pull
The side panels are tapped with UNC 6-32 threads on both faces, so you can mount fans to blow through the radiator, pull air through it, or both at once in a push-pull setup. The fan compatibility is any standard 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan.
Two G1/4" ports
The radiator has two G1/4" threaded ports in total, ready for any G1/4" fitting. In the cross-flow layout the inlet and outlet sit at opposite ends of the radiator, one port in each end tank. The cross-flow layout makes tube routing easier when the inlet and outlet need to be at opposite ends of the radiator, and the irregular shape of the end tanks improves flow and keeps the footprint small, which can decide the fit in an ultra compact build.

Notes
- DarkSide makes the LP (standard flow) and LPX (cross-flow) extra slim radiators in several sizes. This listing is the LPX240.
- Check the fan screw length after adding a gasket or a fan shroud, so the screws do not reach into the radiator core.
In the box
