The Hardware Labs brand is a pioneer from the very beginning and has already set a benchmark in the field of heat exchangers for water cooling. Now, the highly specialised company, which also supplies industries such as medical technology and the military, aims to raise the bar once again – and presents the new Nemesis models from 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 the 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, show an improved flow rate compared to previous series, which can be 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 speeds (even below 800 RPM). However, the heat exchangers also scale excellently with performance fans.
The design is intended for single-sided mounting, meaning that the offered Black Ice Nemesis GTS 560 radiator can accommodate four 140 mm fans, with highly compatible M4 threads available for mounting. Additionally, a total of two G1/4-inch inlet and outlet fittings are included as standard. The low-profile radiator features a copper core and brass end tanks.
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 560 and its relatives!
