Hardware Labs Black Ice Nemesis Radiator GTS 480 - black, 480mm

The brand Hardware Labs is a pioneer from the very beginning and has already set some benchmarks in the field of heat exchangers for water cooling. Now, the highly specialised company, which also supplies industries such as medical technology and military, aims to raise the bar once again - presenting the new Nemesis models of the "Black Ice" series.

The Black Ice Nemesis comes in two sub-variants: the particularly flat GT Stealth (GTS) with a height of only 29.6 mm for low-profile applications, and the extremely high-performance GT Xtreme (GTX) for particularly hot components. Both GT Stealth and GT Xtreme share a fin density of 16 FPI and the unique "Dark Matter" finish with its rough black surface.

The radiators, manufactured strictly within RoHS guidelines, exhibit an improved flow rate compared to previous series, attributed to up to 15% more tubing area, making them sought-after performance champions. With their 16 FPI, Hardware Labs has optimised the Black Ice Nemesis particularly for very quiet fans with low RPM (even below 800 RPM). However, the heat exchangers also scale excellently with performance fans.

It is designed for single-sided mounting, meaning that the offered quad radiator Black Ice Nemesis GTS 480 can accommodate four 120 mm fans, with highly compatible M4 threads available for mounting. Additionally, a total of two G1/4-inch inlet and outlet fittings are part of the standard package. The low-profile radiator features a copper core and brass pre-chambers.

By the way, the manufacturer's warranty period goes far beyond the standard, as Hardware Labs seriously offers a lifetime warranty on the Black Ice Nemesis GT Stealth 480 and its relatives!

Note: Hardware Labs itself specifies a heat dissipation capacity of up to 1,500 watts for this radiator and recommends it for cooling, for example, up to four NVIDIA or AMD graphics cards in SLI or CrossFireX configuration or an 8-core processor. The operation with four single-sidedly mounted 120 mm fans is intended.
