aqua computer AMS 360mm radiator/copper fins, 1 circuit [33036]

However, we haven't seen any real innovations for many years. Until now! With the Airplex Revolution, the Wakü professionals from Aqua Computer dared to experiment with complete production in Germany. The main aim was to replace the fluctuations in quality of the radiators usually manufactured in Asia with a consistently high quality.

With the know-how gained, the idea of a completely new development matured, which would combine many innovative approaches. This laid the foundation for the Airplex Modularity System (AMS), which is now leaving the German factory halls. As the name suggests, the central idea is modularity. The consistency with which this approach has been implemented is unprecedented, exceeding all expectations and everything that has existed before.

This makes the Airplex modularity system a universal radiator solution for water cooling. First of all, it can be expanded almost indefinitely (several radiators next to each other, on top of each other, in front of each other), so that the radiator area can easily grow with a system expansion or conversion and a completely new radiator is not necessary. Of course, there are different radiator sizes to choose from for 140 and 120 mm fans.

In addition, there is even a more powerful premium version with copper fins and an edition for double circuits. Aqua Computer also offers various attachments with integrated pumps and feet for external use. In short: There is currently no more versatile and functional range of radiators.

The precise manufacturing and high-quality workmanship should also be highlighted. In addition, no different metals come into contact with the water (neither tin nor aluminum) - only copper. There are no soldering residues either. In addition, the radiators have a comparably compact design (for greater housing compatibility), do not use paint for better heat transfer, can be completely dismantled for cleaning, are approved for high pressure (0.8 bar) and optimized for slow and therefore quiet fans.

One of the central secrets for the extreme modularity is the terminal of the AMS radiators, which is milled from the heat-resistant special plastic Delrin. The 21 copper pipes initially flow into this and are connected via an internal sewer network. There are six G1/4 inch holes on the outside of the terminal. These are slightly recessed so that another terminal from an AMS radiator can be connected flush using suitable adapters.

To mechanically connect the terminals, there are triangular recesses for corresponding mounting plates on all four corners. This means that additional radiators can be docked on all four outsides. If they are connected to the narrow sides, it is a series connection (the water flows through both of them one after the other), if the radiators are connected to the long sides of the terminal, it is a parallel connection (the water flows through both at the same time). This means there is a lot of scope for variations and experiments.

In addition, other Delrin modules are available to stack radiators on top of each other and to mount pumps and expansion tanks directly on the radiator in a space-saving manner. This is the more powerful premium version in 360 size, which is designed for three 120 fans. In contrast to the normal version, the slats are made of copper, which enables even better heat conduction and also ensures a superb appearance.

Sealing plugs for the four threads that are not required are included in the scope of delivery. Connections must be ordered according to the hose size used. For large diameter connections, an adapter is necessary due to the recessed position of the thread.

Note: The scope of delivery of the AMS radiators does not include housing mounting materials (e.g. installation panel and screws) nor feet. Depending on the model and requirements, these must be purchased additionally and can be found in the Caseking range under the item numbers WARA-237 to WARA-249 or WAZU-215/217/219. Various mounting materials are also available for a combination of AMS elements: WAZU-216 to WAZU-222.
