is it just a label difference or is there actual performance difference.

 

the ST30-series is a full copper core measuring 30mm thick.

the XT45-series is a full copper core measuring 45mm thick.

the UT60-series is a full copper core measuring 60mm thick.

 

increasing the thickness from what i have experienced between the two would

be amount of time for the system to stabilize. more capacity, more coolant for

heat transfer, meaning more time before the system is saturated in temperature.

gives the ability of lower temperatures for a longer period of time over the

thinner counterpart. another angle is fan selection for either can be an option. to

prevent the thinner radiator from heating too quickly, a higher fan speed (more

fan noise) may combat this.

i know that a thicker radiator can give lower cooling temps but what i was asking was that there is a nexxos ut30 model and st30 model, they are both copper so why is there two of them.

To my knowledge there isn't a ut30, there is only st30, xt45 and ut60 and @airdeano already explained the difference between those.

there is no such model UT30, reason is listed all their models.
