Know before you buy
The XR5 360mm radiator measures 360mm in length and has a 30mm thickness. Before purchasing, ensure your case supports a 360mm radiator mount and verify that you have enough clearance for the 30mm depth plus your chosen fans.
No, the radiator does not include fittings. It features universal G1/4" threads, allowing you to use any standard G1/4" custom cooling fittings that match your tubing size.
Yes, the XR5 is compatible with most standard custom water-cooling loops. As long as your other components use standard G1/4" fittings, it will integrate seamlessly into your existing loop.
The 30mm thickness is designed to balance high thermal performance with case compatibility. While it is efficient for most demanding systems, if you are cooling both a high-wattage CPU and GPU, you may want to consider adding a second radiator to your loop for better thermal headroom.
This radiator is designed for three 120mm fans. For the best results, use fans with high static pressure, which are specifically engineered to push air effectively through the dense radiator fins.
