00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:17.640
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the nexos xt45 full Copper radiators from

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:23.720
alpha cool I actually had a funny conversation with slick where he saw the

00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:26.519
box for these products and he was like

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

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:38.719
I see yes jokes aoy um so what's cool

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:44.160
about these radiators is the fact that they are as it says on the box extremely

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

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:53.280
actually get the joke extremely heavy they are full Copper so they actually

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:55.320
weigh more than the brass aluminum or

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:59.039
copper or brass or aluminum or all aluminum or whatever other kinds of

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.160
radiator designs cuz copper is heavier than all of those other metals it

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

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

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

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:18.680
water it should actually make even more of a difference now the main difference

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:22.520
between copper and aluminum is that copper conducts heat better while

00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:27.400
aluminum is generally regarded as a better dissipator of heat so that's why

00:01:24.759 --> 00:01:34.000
it's usually been an acceptable um an acceptable sort of shortcut to go with

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.920
copper tubes and then often brass end

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:40.399
tanks and aluminum fins whereas Alpha Cool's gone okay you know what we're

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

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.159
thick style radiator so it's um it's not

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:54.520
like it's not a slim radiator it's a silence optimized radiator so it uses

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:56.079
a not very dense thin array in order to

00:01:54.520 --> 00:02:00.560
allow you to use even though the radiator's thicker uh lower RPM fans in

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

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.560
terms of mounting um some of which I actually don't even understand why you

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:12.599
would need so they've got inlets and outlets on both sides which means I mean

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

00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:20.599
you could run multiple radiators like that so that'd be kind of cool actually

00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:25.280
um alternately you could sort of you know you could have it mounted this way

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

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:36.000
okay uh my CPU block and my GPU block and my something else

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

00:02:37.519 --> 00:02:44.519
actually use these radiators to split or join multiple different parts of your

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:51.239
Loop which is kind of cool as well uh parallel par parallel flow is generally

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.599
better than serial flow for uh for the

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

00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.519
as GPU blocks where it might be the difference between a couple degrees

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.400
running three blocks in parallel versus running them in cereal but the pressure

00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:08.959
drop for running them in Cal is much much more dramatic and can negatively

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:16.159
affect the performance of something like a CPU block so beyond that I don't know

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:18.879
how much there is to say in my case here

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

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

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:34.000
thing the mounting hardware for the fans is made of copper and look at this even

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

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

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.319
that's all copper themed so if you have exposed copper on your blocks um like

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:51.519
Plexi Toops or whatever else like that that's going to look really really good

00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:53.640
so the single 120 mm version is just

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

00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:03.840
and it's the same mounting options for the uh for the bar and fittings

00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:05.959
themselves so I think that pretty much

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:09.319
covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the alpha

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:14.680
