XSPC RX360 v2 360 Radiator Review

As the RX v2 series is now EOL having been replaced with XCPC’s v3 range of radiators. I had a hard time finding any technical details on the v2 to be able to document here other than what is on the box…

“- Black Matt Paint Finish

– Dimensions: 124x63x400mm (WxDxH)

– Copper Tubes and Fins

– 3 rows of 13mm by 2mm Tubes

– Sub 8fpi (fins per inch)

– G1/4″ Ports

– 6-32 Case and Fan Screws”

Dimensions Measured on the radiator tested (retail unit):

Radiator Core Dimensions:

The core is 3 tubes deep x 12 tubes wide and has single louvered fins. The louver structure is very open on the fins, presumably allowing for more turbulent air movement through the core and aiding in heat dissipation.

The single louvered fins were spaced very evenly down the tube rows with measurements taken of 8 FPI – (Fins Per Inch) in numerous places. The core structure looks excellent and could put out some decent heat dissipation numbers.

Finish and Features

As RX v2 being tested is used and modified, so I won’t go into too much detail as it just can’t be fairly appraised compared to the new rads fresh from the box. I’ll endeavour to be fair in awarding scores in the summary.

The RX360 v2 has a matte black finish with XSPC logos stamped into the side panels.

The v2 comes fitted with just the 2 ports, inlet and outlet, so no opportunities for drain/fill ports. (this is why I modified the one being reviewed and therefore credit to XSPC for including more ports on the RX v3 which is this model’s replacement).

There is no bleeder/fill port on the return tank end either.

There are no screw protector plates fitted under the 6-32 UNC threads for case installation and fan attachment. The mounting holes are located directly over the top of the outside tubes. So make sure that the appropriate screw length is used when mounting fans or the radiator to your case, as the potential for disaster is present.

So we have a rather standard looking, old school style radiator with no special features, but it does has an interesting open louvered fin structure, Let’s see how it performs…
