Radiator block Alphacool 14298 Copper Steel Black 600mm

The Alphacool 14298 Copper Steel Black 600mm radiator block is a liquid-cooling radiator designed for use in high-demand computing environments such as workstations and servers. Constructed with copper water-bearing components and steel for structural parts, this 600 mm wide radiator offers a low profile with a height of 40.5 mm and a depth of 124 mm, engineered to deliver efficient heat transfer while fitting compact system layouts. It uses Alphacool's NexXxoS design principles including X-Flow topology and a 10 FPI fin spacing to balance surface area and airflow for stable cooling performance.

Advantages

The combination of copper for water channels, end chambers and cooling fins with steel structural elements provides high thermal conductivity and long-term durability. The low 40.5 mm height makes the unit suitable for slim rack and chassis installations while the X-Flow design places inlet and outlet on opposite sides to simplify loop routing in constrained layouts. Copper fins are thinly coated to avoid performance loss from thick paint layers, and the fin spacing and geometry are optimized to create controlled air turbulence for effective heat dissipation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• 1U or low-profile server racks and compact workstation enclosures
• Custom liquid cooling loops for CPUs and GPUs in high-performance systems
• Data centre or lab rigs requiring reliable, continuous cooling
• Setups needing flexible plumbing options and multiple port locations

Key specifications

• Material: copper water-bearing components and steel structural parts
• External dimensions: 600 mm width × 124 mm depth × 40.5 mm height
• Fin spacing: 10 fins per inch (FPI)
• Flow topology: X-Flow (inlet and outlet on opposite sides)
• Port arrangement: multiple connection points on each end and sides for flexible routing

How to use

Install the radiator in a compatible chassis or rack location using appropriate mounting holes and hardware for your system. For low-profile 1U installations use the top and bottom M3-compatible mounting points; for standard fan-mounted configurations use the fan-mounting locations and appropriate screws. Connect tubing to the chosen ports according to your loop layout, taking advantage of the X-Flow inlet/outlet arrangement to reduce plumbing complexity. Ensure fittings and seals are tightened correctly and perform a pressure or leak test before powering system components.

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion-resistant fittings and compatible coolant formulated for copper systems. Maintain regular inspections for leaks and ensure adequate airflow through the fins; clean the fins periodically to preserve thermal performance. For dense server loops, plan tubing routes to leverage the opposite-side ports of the X-Flow design to minimize bends and flow restriction.
