1. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 360mm
Free space during assembly is one of the central points on which the development department of the Alphacool NexXxos ST30 360mm has concentrated. All main elements, not only the fins and channels, but also the antechambers are made of copper. This already brings an increase in performance due to the material, where other radiators fall by the wayside. The internal design is at eye level with radiators from other manufacturers and separate antechambers clearly define the path of the coolant. A high flow rate increases the cooling capacity in the complete system. The flat end chamber of the NexXxos ST30 360mm also allows more space during installation, as the overall length is thus smaller.
Pro
- Good cooling capacity
- Good workmanship
- Good quality
Contra
- Cooling fins very susceptible
- Poor packaging

As a result, Alphacool radiators have been among the most popular and best on the market for many years, providing the perfect foundation for any water cooling system. To maximize the performance of a radiator, Alphacool employs a range of advanced techniques. It all starts with copper, which has a thermal conductivity of 400 W/(mK) compared to 236 W/(mK) for aluminum.

4. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 560mm
The world-renowned manufacturer Alphacool is currently the only manufacturer in the world to use pure copper for all water-bearing parts. The pre-chambers, water channels and fins are all made of pure copper. As a result, Alphacool radiators offer the highest thermal conductivity, which means that the performance limit is significantly higher than with aluminium radiators. In short, the cooling capacity is simply higher if you want to dissipate a lot of heat. Copper has been the best choice of material in the water cooling sector for years.
All Alphacool radiators are designed for silent operation. This means that you do not need fans with particularly high static pressure to achieve the desired performance, but can rely on normal fans with low speed. The loss of performance compared to special fans for radiators is therefore minimal and can normally be ignored. Of course, those who want to achieve maximum cooling performance and rely on customised fans for radiators will not be disappointed. Maximum performance does not suffer as a result. Thanks to the copper and the high-quality manufacturing process, you still get an enormous increase in performance for your water-cooled components, even with high-performance fans.
The fans are mounted with the enclosed 30 or 35 mm M3 screws. All Alphacool radiators offer protection that prevents the screws from being screwed into the cooling fins. A metal plate underneath the holes prevents the screws from penetrating further. To mount the radiator directly on the housing, suitable screws are included in the scope of delivery.

5. Alphacool ST30 Full Copper 280mm
All Alphacool radiators are designed for silent operation. This means that they do not require fans with particularly high static pressure to achieve the desired performance; instead, you can use standard low-speed fans. The performance loss compared to specialized radiator fans is minimal and can usually be ignored. Those who want to achieve maximum cooling performance and opt for tailored radiator fans will also not be disappointed. The maximum performance is not compromised. Thanks to the copper and the high-quality manufacturing process, you will also experience a significant performance boost for your water-cooled components, even with high-performance fans.

8. Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 420mm
These models are among the first radiators that truly deserve the "Full Copper" designation. All main components, not just the fins and channels, but also the pre-chambers, are made of copper. This inherently provides a performance advantage that other radiators cannot match. The internal structure is constructed to be on par with radiators from other manufacturers, and separate pre-chambers clearly define the path of the coolant. A high flow rate enhances the cooling performance throughout the entire system. A flat end chamber also creates more space during installation, as the overall length is reduced. Space during installation is one of the key focus areas for the development team at Alphacool. The pre-chamber has three options for positioning the inlet and outlet connections, reducing the need for angles, which increases flow and provides more installation options. Therefore, this radiator can be installed even in tight cases where internal installation would otherwise be impossible.
Pro
- Good cooling capacity
- Good workmanship
- Good quality
Contra
- Cooling fins very susceptible
- Poor packaging
