Crossflow radiators!

i would say if its even a half recognizable brand then its maybe worth buying, but if its some generic i would skip it and look for a brand name, then you can be certain 100% that it will work good. 28gbp is a cheap price, but i'd be more concerned about what i mentioned and what those brand name radiators cost compared to your 28gbp rad.

Magicool is a well respected brand they've been here longer than a lot of "generic" watercooling companies.. But more relevant to hte actual post is that I do not think it saves you space since you need angled fittings to bring the runs downwards towards the body, it probably ends up being too long for the hats of the Ghost S1.

They can be a bit of a pain for routing coolant tubes since it's one tube per end and most setups are designed around both tubes at one end. Crossflow is a little more efficient (it's been a while since I read up on it) but it's not a big difference. My very very old water cooling setup from around the early 2000's uses a cross flow 240mm radiator but it's very thin. That would actually be a great upgrade for this case, let me know how it works out for you!

Hey guys! I'm planning to build a liquid cooled ghost s1 and found this rad! It piqued my interest since it has extremely slim ports! What do you think about this rad guys? Did anyone saw it or used it before?

Welcome to the Forums!

 

Magicool as said make good quality rads that are all copper and brass, long as you have the extra room to house the fittings and tubing at the tank ends.

I’d prefer alpha cools versions as they maintain a plenum. Which they should but prolly costs more. But it’s what I’d use if I really wanted crossflow.
