11 best radiator for pc cpus
Sure thing! Radiators for PC CPUs, also known as CPU coolers or heatsinks, play a crucial role in maintaining optimal temperatures for your processor. They come in two main types: air coolers and liquid coolers.
Air Coolers:
- Design: Air coolers consist of a heat sink and one or more fans. The heat sink is made of metal fins that dissipate heat away from the CPU.
- Performance: They are effective for moderate to high-end CPUs, providing sufficient cooling for most users.
- Installation: Generally easier to install compared to liquid coolers.
Liquid Coolers:
- Components: Liquid coolers have a pump, a block that sits on the CPU, tubes, and a radiator with fans.The liquid absorbs heat from the CPU and carries it to the radiator.
- Performance: Liquid coolers are often preferred for high-performance systems and overclocking, offering efficient heat dissipation.
- Aesthetics: Some users appreciate liquid coolers for their sleek and modern look, with customizable RGB lighting.
Radiator Size:
- Compatibility: Radiators come in various sizes, usually measured in millimeters. Ensure your case has enough space to accommodate the chosen radiator size.
- Cooling Capacity: Larger radiators with more surface area generally provide better cooling performance.
Noise Levels:
- Fans: Both air and liquid coolers use fans for heat dissipation. Consider the fan size and speed to determine potential noise levels. Some coolers come with adjustable fan speeds for a balance between performance and noise.
Installation and Maintenance:
- Compatibility: Check if the cooler is compatible with your CPU socket.
- Maintenance: Regular cleaning of fans and radiators is essential for optimal performance.
Brand and Model Considerations:
- Reputation: Well-known brands often have a reputation for producing reliable coolers.
- Reviews: User reviews can provide insights into real-world performance and issues.
Remember, the choice between air and liquid cooling depends on your specific needs and preferences. Whether you're a casual user or an enthusiast, there's a CPU cooler out there that suits your requirements.

User questions & answers
Question: | Can this be used with 200 psi of air |
Answer: | No chance, even automotive radiator don't run under anywhere near the level. Why do you need to cool 200 psi air? |
Question: | What is the screw size needed to hold the fan in place on the threaded portion of the radiator |
Answer: | I didn't receive screws for mine, it was just the radiatior in the box and there is no screws mentioned in the listing...maybe you should have mentioned the size... |
Question: | What is the flow pattern |
Answer: | Sure what you mean by the flow pattern but there are 2 quarts on the unit one is in and one is out and it doesn't matter which is which. I place two box fans on one side and use it to cool water for a wort chiller for brewing beer. And it was fans is in a freezer and I pump water through the port and it shows it down very well. |
Question: | Can this be used for a radiator? For a motorcycle |
Answer: | No, it will not support that kind of heat load. |

User questions & answers
Question: | The fan screws that came with the 120mm fan are too big (wide) for the mounting holes on the radiator. What size screws should be used |
Answer: | I had to take the radiator to a hardware store to find the correct screws. They are metric. |
Question: | is this purely aluminum material |
Answer: | All metal tank and fins. I have 2 of these and they work great. |
Question: | how many watts can this dissipate |
Answer: | Hi I trust all is well. These radiators are a good set of kit if sised correctly to what you need they can be super. The BXQINLENX is good in my opinion as I am using it on a small induction heater . The web address I have included will show how to calculate the BTU or as you would like to know how much heat distribution it can give . http://forums.evga.com ( look under "Rule of thumb " ) I am running at about 270 to 300 watts of heat distribution with 2x hefty fan's and I have no problem it runs well. Hope the info helps and enjoy you product. |

User questions & answers
Question: | I’m making a water cooler for my little in line water filter. Can I mount perlet cooling plates to this and run my water line through it to cool |
Answer: | This cool system works like heat exchanger radiator you need a fan to get enough airflow to cool the water. I would use a water block instead. |
Question: | What is the maximum temperature that this radiator can handle without rupture |
Answer: | I don't know. It would be pressure that would be the problem. It is a CPU cooling radiator so I would imagine it would not handle too high of temperatures. I use it for a mini AC. |
Question: | Is there a screw can attach between the Radiator and Fan |
Answer: | There are 4 holes on each side of the fan. They are pre-threaded to accept 4-40 machine screws. I actually attached 2 fans {120mm} with airflow going in the same direction {out of my computer case}. In my instance I used eight '1 1/4 inch' long screws. One set of 4 held a fan on one side.. The other set of four attached started outside the case, through a fan and attached to the radiator. |
Question: | What screw sizes are the 4 corners tapped for |
Answer: | They are not 4-40. If you use 4-40 they will strip out (found out the hard way). They are M3. |
