What customers say
This flagship radiator earns praise for its exceptional thermal performance, delivering significant temperature drops even under heavy system loads. Users consistently highlight the premium build quality and the sleek, clean aesthetic of the white finish, which perfectly complements modern, bright computer builds. While installation is generally straightforward in large cases, the primary consideration is the high investment required. Despite the premium pricing, the consensus is that the S560 justifies its cost for enthusiasts prioritizing top-tier performance and unmatched visual appeal in their custom liquid cooling loops. It is highly recommended for serious builders focused on both function and design.
Know before you buy
The EK-Quantum Surface S560 is a 560mm radiator, which is significantly larger than standard radiators. You must ensure your PC case specifically supports 560mm radiator mounting, as it will not fit in most mid-tower or even many full-tower chassis.
While it is thinner than high-performance 'thick' radiators, the S560 compensates with a high fin density of 20 FPI and an optimized core design. It is specifically engineered to provide excellent thermal dissipation even at lower fan speeds, making it ideal for quiet builds.
Because this radiator is relatively slim at 30mm, it does not require extreme static pressure to push air through the core. Standard 140mm fans will perform efficiently, especially when running at low to medium RPMs.
No, this radiator is constructed with copper fins and brass chambers. You should avoid mixing it with aluminum components in your loop to prevent galvanic corrosion, which can damage your cooling system.
No, the EK-Quantum Surface S560 does not feature integrated RGB lighting. It is designed with a clean, minimalist aesthetic that focuses entirely on thermal performance and build quality.
The radiator is designed with low flow restriction in mind, featuring eighteen 2mm wide copper tubes. It should not place excessive strain on your pump, even in complex loops with multiple blocks and radiators.
