Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Full copper core: chambers, fins, and channels, not just the fins
  • ✓ Six G1/4" ports allow flexible inlet/outlet and drain-port routing

  • ✗ 157 x 124mm footprint is larger than a bare 120mm fan bracket
  • ✗ Single 120mm size limits heat rejection versus 240mm or 360mm cores
