Know before you buy
This radiator has a thickness of 58mm. You should ensure your PC case has enough clearance for both the radiator and your chosen fans before installation.
It features four G1/4" threaded ports for your cooling loop, plus an additional G1/4" port on the end-tank specifically designed for draining or air bleeding.
Yes, it uses standard G1/4" threaded ports, which are the industry standard for custom liquid cooling components, ensuring compatibility with most fittings on the market.
The radiator is built with high-quality copper tubes, which are chosen for their excellent thermal conductivity and durability in custom liquid cooling loops.
The white finish is durable, but like any high-end component, it should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the aesthetic coating.
Because this is a 480mm radiator, it requires a case with specific support for 480mm mounting locations. Always check your case's radiator compatibility specifications to ensure it can accommodate the length and 58mm thickness.
