Alphacool NexXxos ST30 360 Radiator Review

Alphacool NexXxos ST30 360 Radiator Review

The intention of this write up is to provide information and performance data about the Alphacool ST30 360mm Radiator. We will be including the test results in the Extreme Rigs Rad Round Up 2015, however in this review rather than comparing the ST30 to all the rads we made a decision to start a Round-Up just for the Slim 360mm rads. Expect our Slims Round-Up to be published in the coming weeks.

I’ll be keeping the review section short and factual, focusing on presenting the performance data compiled through the numerous tests carried out. First of all, a big thanks to AquaTuning for providing this sample of the Alphacool ST30!

What’s in the Box?

The ST30 sample came in full retail packaging:

Opening the box, we can see the usual packing layout for the NexXxos series radiators.  Alphacool really have done a great job in ensuring that the radiator has every possible chance of arriving to the purchaser in the best possible condition. I really like that the accessories are placed in a separate box at one end of the package.

Extent of delivery:

Alphacool states the following is supplied in the box:

1x Radiator

12x M3x30mm hexagon socket screw

12x M3x35mm hexagon socket screw

All present and accounted for, plus a hex key for the black M3 screws is also included.

The 2 ports are “plugged” with transit caps to keep moisture out.

The “branding” stickers are provided for the user to place where they choose, which is better than when they used to be already stuck onto the side of the rads and half the time were upside down after horizontal installation.

12 each of 30mm and 35mm hex key, button head screws are provided.

Onwards to technical specifications!
