Alphacool 14170 Radiator

The Alphacool 14170 radiator belongs to the NexXxos family of full-copper radiators designed for liquid-cooled computer systems. It combines a compact profile with full-copper chambers, fins and channels to improve thermal conduction and allow higher flow rates. The radiator is available in sizes and thicknesses to match standard fan formats and offers protected internal screw ledges and versatile fitting positions for easier installation.

Advantages

Full-copper construction of fins, channels and chambers improves heat transfer compared with mixed-material radiators. Separated flat chambers guide coolant flow for efficient circulation and support higher flow rates. Multiple inlet/outlet positions and a 1/4" threaded port (present on many NexXxos variants) increase mounting flexibility and enable easy bleeding or filling. Standard M3 mounting threads, internal screw protection and compatibility with 120/140/180 mm fan formats simplify installation and reduce risk of damage.

Suitable for

• Custom PC liquid cooling loops
• High-flow cooling setups requiring durable radiators
• Builds where compact radiator length and flexible mounting are needed

Key specifications

• Brand: Alphacool
• Model / MPN: 14170

• Colour: Black
• Dimensions (from product data): approx. 144 mm × 468 mm × 46 mm
• Fan compatibility: designed for standard 120/140/180 mm fan formats (varies by model)

How to use

Install the radiator in your PC case or custom loop using the M3 mounting threads and compatible fan screws. Fit fans of the appropriate size and orientation for push, pull or push–pull configurations. Connect inlet and outlet fittings to your loop using the available ports; on supported NexXxos variants use the 1/4" threaded port for bleeding or filling when required. Ensure secure but not over-tightened screws—internal ledges prevent fin damage if a screw is driven too far. Follow standard coolant filling and leak-testing procedures before regular operation.

Recommendations

Use slow to medium-speed fans for a good balance between noise and cooling; the fin design performs well with lower RPMs. Confirm the exact NexXxos variant if you require a specific thickness (30/45/60 mm) or the presence of a 1/4" port, and match fan size accordingly.
