Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 560mm

[The_Governour]

Has anyone used or know anyone that HAS used the Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 560mm??

I cant seem to find ANY review of this specific radiator, I am intersted in trying it out with the new NF-A14 industrialPPC, with Push/Pull.

Is there ANY chance that Tom could ask for a sample and try them out?

I would like to know how effective they are now with some better 140mm fans are out like the Noctua ones.

Surely you can estimate how it would perform from either smaller Monsta's or thinner 560's. It's not exactly worth reviewing for anyone, so few cases can house a 560.

Ive got one in the garage actually

In my Enthoo Primo build I had the 480 and the 420 both in push pull with Akasa Viper 120/140 ( 7v ) fans, both in push pull, they were cooling a 4770k @ 4.2 on 1.15v and a pair of stock R9 290's and the cpu at idle was 24 the gpu's were around 29, and at load the cpu never reached 50, and the gpu's never hit 75, and that was at the height of last years summer.

Can we get a review??? Pretty pretty please..... I invite you to some great beer and sunshine in Mallorca with some Honeys at the side if you ever come down here!

Don't let misses TTL see that comment...

Compared to what - a review needs comparison results - Ive probably had it over a year. It was just a gift but its not something that really needs reviewing is it....

If youre honestly not sure about that thing then you shouldnt be considering it

Compare it to other rads this thickness or size or even the new 360 Aio´s - Also there is NO review of this rad i question what so ever and it would be nice to see a nice review, thats all. I mean - u reviewed the Phobya 1080 back in the day......... so why not do a 560 monsta?

Yes, I know that there are few cases that could handle it but even so....

Its big, its black and it makes heat go away. Paint quality and construction are average but its well priced for the size and performance it delivers. It comes in a box with some screws and copper stickers, its ideal for the watercooling enthusiast looking for a really big radiator.

Seriously though a review would be pointless and it would likely not fair any better than a 360 AIO when cooling just a CPU. You can have as much radiator area as you want it will only make the delta 'closer' to 0. Building a full loop to review one product using loads of different components that will affect the result with nothing to compare it against is just ridiculous.

Between the manufacturers technical drawings, reviews of other NeXxXos radiators and simple extrapolation to determine heat load, deltas and fan speed you can work out if it's the right product for you.

Of course with this logic then why even review any other new water cooling component, ever..? That is like saying that yes, a 240 AIO are all the same, and they are more or less - still why do we get new reviews of the newer ones and compare? Just because to see the results.

You could argue that by taking a normal slim 120 mm rad then just calculate it with the fans, thickness etc then you could have more or same results as any 240 rad so why do any more reviews?

Or even better, after the first review of the 980 when it was released then you could also make the point why is the need to make any more reviews of the future 980´s, as they are more or less the same. Yes, some come with 2 fans and a slightly better cooling, some come out of the box with a higher factory overclock etc etc. but in the end they will all OC and cooling will be MORE OR LESS the same. We watch the reviews as we like to see the results, even though we all know that they might be the same.

I would see your logic if the rad that I am talking about would be any normal radiator but the 560 Monsta is the Biggest and Thickest Radiator that you can buy currently. As its the Biggest and thickest and there is NO review of this radiator then I thought it would be nice to see it paired up with the new 140 fans like the Noctua Industrial ones, NB etc etc.

Its nice to see reviews of a product that has never been reviewed before, especially when the product is the Biggest and Thickest - most Extreme - that you can buy. (not saying its the best)

Here's some data of a chart I found somewhere regarding Alphacool 140mm series rad performance:



The numbers are the amount of heat (W) the rad will be able to dissipate. 560 rads aren't in there, but as you can see you can add the 140mm value to the 420mm value to get an estimate of its performance. Values may vary (slightly) with different fans, I'm not sure what fans were used for these values.

560 monsta rads in p/p will dissipate an estimated amount of heat of:

339W @ 1000rpm
433W @ 1250rpm
489W @ 1400rpm
590W @ 1800rpm
801W @ 2200rpm​

I hope this answers your question for the performance part of the rad

Nice find! Cheers!

That's pretty useless info without the delta.

[Asperatis]

I know I cannot provide any deltas with the information given above, it's just a (very) rough estimation of what an alphacool rad could do. This can be used to calculate how much rad space you'll need if you have an idea of how much heat a system will produce.

Doesn't matter if you could theoretically, let's say, dissipate 700W in a system producing only 500. Your deltas will be rather low for sure, but this is just a tool to calculate raddage.
