Thermaltake Pacific RL480 Radiator
The Thermaltake Pacific RL Series introduces high-quality radiators to deliver outstanding water cooling performance for the enthusiast’s PC. Manufactured from high-quality German zinc alloy aluminum and aerospace-grade materials, configurations of 120mm, 240mm, 360mm and 480mm are available to provide exceptional performance. Integrated G1/4" threads make it easy to install, while rigid connections ensure leak-resistant measures are in place. With an ideal mounting, fitting and flow set-up, the Thermaltake Pacific RL Series meets your cooling needs in every way.
Tt LCS Certified
“Tt LCS Certified” is the hallmark that ensures first-class performance from the best features and fitment. A certification exclusive to Thermaltake, it sets the benchmark for all true LCS chassis and is applied only to products that meet our stringent design standards for delivering what hardcore enthusiasts demand. The Tt LCS certification is a way for Thermaltake to designate to all power users the chassis which have been tested for best compatibility with extreme liquid cooling configurations.
Optimized Heat Dispatching
Designed for the most demanding hardcore enthusiasts, the Thermaltake RL Series Radiators are optimized for maximum heat dispatching. They deliver an average heating load of 32℃-35℃ on each radiator. After brazing, the fin and tube connect to form a joint, thereby creating uniform heat transfer. By efficiently pulling heat away from the power-dissipating components, the radiators ensure component reliability.
Dual-Row Tubes
The Pacific RL Series is an extremely thick radiator with a double-row
13-set flat tube design to increase heat transfer. Water flows down on the one side, then passes across the
bottom chamber before circulating back to the other side of the radiator.
High-Density Fin Design
Fin density is optimally designed to accommodate high air pressure. The
cooling performance improves significantly with increased fan speed, offering exceptional cooling performance
during operation. FPI (fin per inch): 14.
German-Made Anti-Corrosion Materials
Without compromise, the Pacific RL Radiator Series is designed with high-quality German aerospace-grade materials and constructed with zinc, the most common anti-corrosion agent. Although this protection will gradually degrade as the zinc corrodes away over time, it provides the best means to reduce electronic conductivity and can withstand scratches to the zinc layer. Corrosion potentials of zinc alloy aluminum can be reduced by 55.6% after brazing.
High-Quality Manufacturing Process: Brazing
An exceptional manufacturing process using high temperature brazing at
1022℉/550℃ sets Pacific RL Radiators in a class of their own. This technique allows for impurities to be kept
out of the brazing process, ensuring that full strength on all the connected areas is achieved.
The radiators are baked through a controlled atmosphere brazing line. The materials melt into each other to
accomplish optimal thermal transfer from the tubes to the actual fins in order to attain better heat
evacuation.
Cautions
Thermaltake recommends the following steps to be taken before using the Pacific series radiators and water blocks:
- To ensure a clean loop, flush and rinse your radiators and water blocks with distilled water prior to use.
- Do not use tap water or distilled water as your coolant; it may harm your loop and reduce performance.
- It is strongly recommended to use market-proven pre-mix coolant, such as Thermaltake Coolant 1000. It offers great performance while protecting the entire liquid loop from corrosion.
- Before storing your water cooling components, please clean, rinse, and dry them to ensure a longer lifespan for your components.
Thermaltake recommends the following steps to be taken after completing your water loop setup:
- It is strongly recommended to use market-proven pre-mix coolant, such as Thermaltake Coolant 1000. It offers great performance while preventing corrosion in the entire cooling system – copper, brass, nickel, aluminum, and steel.
- Fill the reservoir with coolant and cycle the power on and off several times while the pump pushes the coolant into the loop.
- DO NOT let the pump run dry; turn off the power immediately if there is no liquid entering the pump.
- Fill the reservoir to the top to prevent air from entering the pump.
- If necessary, tilt the system slightly from side to side to bleed air out of the loop.
- Place some paper towels under fittings and joining points to check for leaks.
- Run the loop with the fill port open for about 24 hours to completely bleed air out of the loop.
- Before starting, flush your system correctly to prevent any coolant or unwanted particles from sticking to your tubes, radiators, and other cooling components.
- Note that coolant might fade over time.
