00:00:08,120 --> 00:00:17,640
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the nexos xt45 full Copper radiators from

2
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:23,720
alpha cool I actually had a funny conversation with slick where he saw the

3
00:00:20,119 --> 00:00:26,519
box for these products and he was like

4
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:32,200
oh OC cool what brand is that and I was like you mean Alpha cool and he's like a

5
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:38,719
I see yes jokes aoy um so what's cool

6
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:44,160
about these radiators is the fact that they are as it says on the box extremely

7
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:47,559
I mean full um okay I didn't get far enough into saying that for you to

8
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:53,280
actually get the joke extremely heavy they are full Copper so they actually

9
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,320
weigh more than the brass aluminum or

10
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,039
copper or brass or aluminum or all aluminum or whatever other kinds of

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,160
radiator designs cuz copper is heavier than all of those other metals it

12
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:05,720
doesn't actually translate into being like that much he it's not like oh man I

13
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:11,000
got copper radiators in my system like oh I'm not going to be able to move around it's nothing like that but it

14
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:13,880
does add a little bit of a little bit of heft to them and once they're full of

15
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,680
water it should actually make even more of a difference now the main difference

16
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:22,520
between copper and aluminum is that copper conducts heat better while

17
00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:27,400
aluminum is generally regarded as a better dissipator of heat so that's why

18
00:01:24,759 --> 00:01:34,000
it's usually been an acceptable um an acceptable sort of shortcut to go with

19
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,920
copper tubes and then often brass end

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,399
tanks and aluminum fins whereas Alpha Cool's gone okay you know what we're

21
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,439
just going to go all freaking out and we're going to go all copper this is a

22
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:47,159
thick style radiator so it's um it's not

23
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:54,520
like it's not a slim radiator it's a silence optimized radiator so it uses

24
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,079
a not very dense thin array in order to

25
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,560
allow you to use even though the radiator's thicker uh lower RPM fans in

26
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,079
order to achieve the cool you need it's also got a ton of different options in

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,560
terms of mounting um some of which I actually don't even understand why you

28
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:12,599
would need so they've got inlets and outlets on both sides which means I mean

29
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:15,640
you could uh you could kind of like SLI them so you could put a fan in between

30
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:20,599
you could run multiple radiators like that so that'd be kind of cool actually

31
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:25,280
um alternately you could sort of you know you could have it mounted this way

32
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:30,640
or this way or you could have multiple devices going in and out so you could go

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:36,000
okay uh my CPU block and my GPU block and my something else

34
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,000
are all going to go in and then I'm going to have one Outlet so you could

35
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:44,519
actually use these radiators to split or join multiple different parts of your

36
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:51,239
Loop which is kind of cool as well uh parallel par parallel flow is generally

37
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,599
better than serial flow for uh for the

38
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:57,959
overall performance of the loop especially if there are components that are not particularly flow sensitive such

39
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,519
as GPU blocks where it might be the difference between a couple degrees

40
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,400
running three blocks in parallel versus running them in cereal but the pressure

41
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,959
drop for running them in Cal is much much more dramatic and can negatively

42
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:16,159
affect the performance of something like a CPU block so beyond that I don't know

43
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,879
how much there is to say in my case here

44
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:24,040
I've got one of their dual 120 mm radiators and one of their single 120 mm

45
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:28,439
radiator oh this is cool check this out they're going all out on this all copper

46
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:34,000
thing the mounting hardware for the fans is made of copper and look at this even

47
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,280
the plugs for the uh for the G1 quarter threaded holes at the top are made of

48
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:42,120
copper as well that's going to look really really sharp in a build that's uh

49
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,319
that's all copper themed so if you have exposed copper on your blocks um like

50
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:51,519
Plexi Toops or whatever else like that that's going to look really really good

51
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,640
so the single 120 mm version is just

52
00:03:51,519 --> 00:03:58,799
more of the same except smaller it's the same thickness it's the same fin density

53
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:03,840
and it's the same mounting options for the uh for the bar and fittings

54
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,959
themselves so I think that pretty much

55
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:09,319
covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the alpha

56
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:14,680
