I suppose first word for most
I suppose first word for most folks is: boring. Yay another AIO which looks exactly the same as others. LOL
Exept this one is very
Exept this one is very different from most other AIO’s as its not a CLC and has a proper copper radiator and quality fans.
Its a similar unit to Fractal’s AIO units.
There are only a few other AIO’s in this category. So no, its not just another AIO.
Yeah It uses standard
Yeah It uses standard Alphacool G1/4 fittings and has a custom Alpahcool all copper 280mm rad. The beauty of that is that you could buy this, than later if you wanted to go full custom loop take the tubing off and have a quality 30mm thick 280mm rad and 4 high quality fittings to add to your loop instead of just having a CLC you no longer use lying around.

120 usually has superior static pressure; not enough to balance out the extra surface area, but enough that it doesn’t make sense to create a whole additional SKU.
Plus 120mm fits in more
Plus 120mm fits in more cases. So if you’re only going to go one or the other, which is what makes the most sense, 120mm is the way to go.
