The new Cape Cora HF (Highflow), the cooling solution for silence enthusiasts!
The Cape Cora passive radiators are a major part of the watercooling scene and many passive cooling systems utilize these modules. Now the system was furthermore improved and features better cooling performance to suit even the most current computer generations.
Passive cooling, completely noiseless This is the main goal and motivation for development of the Cape Cora radiators. The basic principle and design has proven itself in many systems over the past years. With an optimally arranged system it often is even possible to use no cooling fans on the radiator at all. Hence one of the most noisy sources of the system is eliminated! Depending on the components used in the system the performance can be improved even further by adding more cooling modules.
A simple plug-in system makes expansions easy To make mounting and assembly of the radiator modules as easy as possible a whole new plug-in system was developed. This allows the expansion of the basic modules, 442 or 642, by simply pushing the connectors of the modules together. By using two O-rings the connection ensures a leak-proof seal. The great advantage of the new system is not only the easy and safe handling, the flow resistance is also extremely low!
Highflow improves cooling performance: With the use of the plug-in system standard fittings/ connectors are no longer needed for the interconnection of the modules. Hence the main flow obstruction of the system is removed. Now the connectors offer a much larger inner diameter than standard fittings, making this radiator system a true High-Flow enthusiast heat exchanger. In addition to this great advance in development the inner cooling channel structure was also optimized to allow even greater flow and cooling performance!
More surface = More cooling performance! The principle is simple: The more surface there is to transfer heat, the more efficient heat will be transferred. Hence the inner cooling channel structure was improved to allow even better heat transfer from the coolant to the surrounding air.
Proven concept, newest generation Just as the old version of the Cape Cora the new generation is also designed to allow installation on the side of the case. The required material for installation is already included, as well as a multilingual users manual. Every basic modules is designed to allow integration into the loop with a suitable G1/4" thread. Expansion of the radiator array is also easily accomplished with the new plug-in system. The mechanical connection between the modules is achieved with U-clamps for maximum stability. All basic modules are already assembled and can be used out-of-the-box!
Cooler, noiseless and easier to use: That is the Cape Cora HF series!

Shoddy Construction but does the job...

Inline with what another reviewr has said, the construction of this rediator is greatly lacking. The plastic is weak and I had two broken connectors upon unboxing. Also, the rubber o-rings used to seal the system are not up to par and do not completly seal the connectors, leading to a lot of leaks. Another side effect of the seals not fitting tightly is that the system does not stay together and when moving, ior picking it up, sections fall off. I spent three days reparing the broken parts and seeling the system with epoxy before it would hold water fully. All of the negatives said, the raditor does dispell quite a bit of heat from my system, the water flows well and it looks good to boot. After the initail dissapointment and work to fix, the radiator is holding up well.
Ineffective product with terrible quality

Product arrived with 6 broken plastic connectors resulting in fluid leaks everywhere. Alphacool refuses to offer a refund saying the plastic connectors are prone to breaking and they''ll only refund if the aluminum radiator itself is broken. IF YOU KNOW YOUR PLASTIC CONNECTORS BREAK, WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT?
After receiving replacement connectors, I had to spend 2 hours of my own time fixing a brand new product.
Overall terrible quality and design. If you stand the radiator upright, the last two radiator modules don''t get enough water flow to be useful.
I will never buy another Alphacool product again
