What size radiator do I need for my PC?
The rule of thumb is to use at least one 120mm radiator (section) per each water cooled component plus one additional section. For example, if you’re liquid-cooling a CPU and a single high-performance graphics card, we recommend using at least one 360mm (3x 120mm) radiator for the best results.
What is the biggest PC radiator?
NexXxoS XT45 560mm With support for four 140mm fans, the XR45 560mm is more than large enough to cool most liquid-cooled PCs, but large enough to be unsuitable to all but the largest of PC cases. This radiator would be a great addition to liquid-cooled desk builds, given its height, but this market is a small one.
Are radiators good for PC?
With a radiator, the general area around the radiator will be much warmer, so its not a good place to put the computer. Also think about getting dust screens for your fans (or even using pantyhose in that respect), they help alot with keeping dust out of a computer.
How thick should a computer radiator be?
Typically, radiators can range anywhere from 120mm to 480mm. While most people look up radiator sizes in terms of their lengths, the thickness of the radiator also impacts its performance. Thicker radiators have a lower fin density.
Where are Alphacools made?

Why does my PC have a radiator?
A radiator is used for water cooling; you run water through a cooling block over the CPU and/or GPU, then through a radiator where it releases the heat to air that is blown through the radiator by fans. If you use air cooling, then you don’t need a radiator.
What is the thinnest PC radiator?
XSPC TX
The XSPC TX is the worlds thinnest PC radiator. At just over 20mm thick, it’s 20% thinner than a standard 120mm fan and over 40% thinner than our EX series radiators.
What is the difference between 140mm and 120mm PC radiators?
Their greater cooling capacity means that the 140mm case fans mounted to them can be run at a lower speed to achieve the same cooling results, translating to a quieter PC. While the selection of fans to use with 140mm PC radiators isn’t as wide as the 120mm type, there are still a great many excellent 140mm fans to choose from.

What is the size of a radiator?
The size of a radiator is based on the total number of fans it supports on a single side. For example, a radiator that supports 2 140mm fans is referred to as a 280 radiator(2 x 140), and a radiator that supports 3 140mm fans is referred to as a 420 radiator(3 x 140).
What size radiator do I need for my case fans?
140mm type radiators are PC water cooling radiators compatible with 140mm case fans. The size of a radiator is based on the total number of fans it supports on a single side.
