A Closer Look

The slimmer 25 mm thick copper radiator has a nice finish. I noticed no scratches or problems in that regard. The design has an FPI (fins-per-inch) count of 16, which is much lower than most closed-loop coolers. Fittings can be changed since this design is expandable and uses G1/4" standard fittings.


The PVC tubing measures in at just over a 12 inches at 32 cm in length. It features anti-kink coils as a means of protection against excessively tight bends and has a built-in quick release fitting for easy expansion. Unlike the previous generation, the Eisbaer LT instead uses a lower profile pump/block design with a clean, professional look. The base itself is just plain copper, and milling marks are visible. It does, however, feel smooth to the touch.


Alphacool's Eiswind fans that come paired with the Eisbaer LT 240 are high-pressure-optimized fans with an RPM range of 550-1700 and a maximum pressure of 1.66 mmH20. It should also be noted that this design uses a sleeve bearing. In terms of quality, I did notice that the fan blades are a bit rough and the edges sharp. This was not something I noticed on the previous generation. While it did not seem to affect anything, I definitely expected better quality here.
