Radiatore Alphacool 14173

The Alphacool 14173 radiator is a compact, high-quality cooling component designed for liquid-cooled computer systems. Constructed from copper and steel with a black finish, it measures 124 mm wide, 277 mm deep and 60 mm high, offering efficient heat transfer in a small footprint. The radiator's robust build targets stable thermal performance for cases or builds where space is limited and reliable dissipation is required.

Advantages

The combination of copper and steel materials provides a balance of thermal conductivity and structural strength, while the dense fin array and internal channeling support effective coolant flow and heat exchange. Its compact dimensions and matte black aesthetic make it suitable for compact or visually restrained builds where compatibility with other components is important. The unit is relatively lightweight at approximately 1.484 kg, simplifying installation and reducing stress on mounting points.

Suitable for

• Compact desktop liquid-cooling loops where space is constrained
• Small form-factor PC builds and HTPC systems
• Upgrades to existing custom cooling loops requiring a low-profile radiator
• Systems prioritizing a discreet, black visual theme

How to use

Install the radiator as part of a closed or custom liquid-cooling loop following the cooling loop design and case compatibility. Secure the radiator to available mounting points using appropriate screws or brackets for your chassis. Connect inlet and outlet fittings to the loop tubing, ensuring tight, leak-free connections. Fill the system with the recommended coolant, purge air from the loop, and verify flow and leak-free operation before regular use. Ensure the radiator has adequate airflow either via case fans or external airflow channels.

Recommendations

Use corrosion-inhibiting and compatible coolants when mixing metals in a loop. Regularly inspect fittings and tubing for signs of wear or leaks, and maintain unobstructed airflow across the radiator fins to preserve cooling performance.
