Know before you buy
The XSPC EX140 is designed for a single 140mm fan. You can also mount fans on both sides in a push/pull configuration if your case has the clearance.
Yes, it is specifically optimized for low-speed fans. The internal design allows for efficient heat dissipation even when fans are running at quiet, low RPMs.
The radiator measures 143mm wide, 180mm high, and has a thickness of 36mm. Ensure your case has enough clearance for the 36mm depth plus the thickness of your fans.
The radiator features standard G1/4" threaded ports. This makes it compatible with the vast majority of custom watercooling fittings available on the market.
The core is constructed from a combination of copper and brass. These materials are chosen for their excellent thermal conductivity and durability in custom cooling loops.
The mounting holes use 6-32 UNC threading. Please ensure your fan screws match this specification to avoid damaging the radiator core.
