Alphacool Launches NexXxoS HPE-30 and NexXxoS HPE-45 Copper Radiators

For more than a decade, Alphacool's NexXxoS Full Copper radiator series has been one of the most powerful radiators on the market. With their incomparable performance, the radiators can easily dissipate even extremely high waste heat and have become indispensable in many areas of the cooling industry. Nevertheless, with the NexXxos HPE generation, it's time for the next evolutionary step!

What does HPE mean? Alphacool's NexXxos HPE radiators use the same materials as previous NexXxos models, but take it a step further technically. The number of water channels and copper fins inside the radiator has been increased. This means that a larger volume of water is in direct contact with the cooling fins and the heat transfer is improved enormously. The higher number of fin rows and their shortening also makes much more efficient use of the cooling surface. Comparison tests with the conventional NexXxos radiator have shown that a significant performance increase of 4.5K is possible when using the HPE radiator. At higher ambient temperatures and higher fan speeds, the performance gap with the regular NexXxoS radiators even progressively increases, reaching a possible performance increase of up to 6K. Such a performance leap has never been seen in the past.
The NexXxoS HPE Radiator is initially available as HPE-30 and HPE-45 version. The common variants (120/140/240/280/360/420/480/560 mm) for 120 mm and 140 mm fans form a rich offer, in which everyone should find something. The HPE-20 and HPE-60 versions will follow in the near future. Smart and Efficient!

You're about 15 years too late with this comment. Should have told them in 2006

Hopefully they release new x-flow radiators soon as well. It is about time for me to do a build with a couple of those

Looking forward to seeing them reviewed here at TPU! The rad scene has been really boring for a very very long time. Maybe these will shake things up a bit, I'm not talking about the rad dance either!

I have them here, funnily also in sizes I don't review in addition to the triple 120 mm. They are being tested as we speak, it looks to be a busy radiator month with EK's new lineup imminently releasing too.

Can't wait to see some new EK radiators, is there really about 50? though mine where expensive so would have to be good for me to switch.

50 SKUs you mean? I can see that between the various sizes, colors, thickness, multi-port options etc.

You can get them anywhere in North America. Corner store, hardware store, junk drawer, glove box lol, basically anywhere in any town, even with a population of 500 and they work and are cheap.

meanwhile everyone would be happy if it wouldn't be 1/4 or 1/8 threads in most stuff watercooling (and piping somehow) but "the stuff the rest of the world actually uses" :D ;)
