Although we are at the moment in the middle of winter, in other parts of the world they enjoy summer and many will be looking like crazy to make the leap to custom liquid cooling. Taking advantage of the fact that here we are in the middle of holidays and for that of the gifts (or auto gifts let’s admit it) why not give us a whim with a new radiator for our loop or to mount a new system. That is why we bring you the best 360 mm radiators today.
EK-CoolStream XE 360
The best EK radiator to date, surpassing the mythical XTX by a narrow margin is true, but it is a very clear improvement not only in performance as such, but in internal flow and especially in quality, since it is completely removable, being able to stay with the radiator body in hand.
It is a radiator that moves very well in all fan speed ranges, which is another advantage. This is possible because of the average count of 16 FPI that it includes, it is currently in the TOP of radiators for liquid cooling.
Aquacomputer Airplex Radical 4 360
Possibly the best finished radiator in history. Details such as the threads of the separated and interchangeable screws, its system of pipes and fins, the system of disassembly of the same or its manufacture in copper and stainless steel loo placed at the forefront of the sector.
Its only but is that the performance, even being the best in the market, is not within the current TOP 3.
Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Cooper 360 mm
Made entirely of pure copper in relation to its core, steel sides and brass thread, this radiator achieves impressive performance, which added to its multiple inputs and outputs, we are talking about a model that is currently within the TOP 3.
The screw threads include a safety system to prevent us from running along them and passing through the tubes or fins.
XSPC RX360 V3
It is undoubtedly the cover of any comparison, but the reality is that we speak of a radiator made of copper and brass with a thickness in its core of 46 mm with rows of 21 mm x 2 mm tubes. In addition, the low FPI count (only 13 ) makes it almost lethal at low RPM.
To finish it is multiport thanks to two G1 / 4 threads that includes in its upper part.
Watercool HTSF2 3 × 120 LTX
This radiator is another one of the covers, but the reality is that its performance is outstanding. Manufactured and assembled in Germany, it has a larger and completely round pipe system. This greatly improves the internal flow of the system, which has been possible because they are made of pure electrolytic copper, while the fins are made of high quality aluminum.
On the other hand, the radiator body is made of polished stainless steel, which gives it a very worked aesthetic giving in general an aspect of undoubted quality.
Raijintek Calore C360D
It is another model that nobody names, but contrary to what we might think with certain Chinese brands, this model is here to stay. Import a thickness of 65 mm unusual in the industry and reminiscent of certain models and veterans. It consists of 12 tubes distributed symmetrically in the radiator and somehow adopts an aesthetic very similar to that of the XTX.
Its core is made of copper and the tanks are made of pure brass, which, together with its 14 FPIs, results in a rad that can operate at both low RPM and many revolutions, giving an upward and very homogeneous performance in its curvature of dissipated watts.
Black Ice Nemesis GTX 360
The last of the members of TOP 3 could not be missing, where curiously, he manages to do more with a little less than the others. Its design is simply brilliant, with two clearly differentiated systems, 12 tubes and 16 Fins, it manages to compete against the EK XE with 54 mm of total thickness .
This new version GTX 360 is optimized to perform better at low RPM, not reaching the performance in these terms of its brother SR2, but as soon as the fans begin to take off, its performance improves by leaps and bounds, ranking first when we exceed the 2000 RPM
