NOTE: The EX360 tested has been used previously and was modified by having additional inlet and outlet ports fitted on the port chamber opposite to the 2 standard ports that the EX360 comes with. The radiator is in excellent condition still and I feel that even with the additional ports fitted performance results will not be affected in any way.

The fin spacing is very uneven up and down the tubes which is not unusual for a dense fin structure. The fin installation could have been better; I might even go as far to say that it is rather poorly done.

XSPC chose to use a 9mm internal shroud depth on each side which is fantastic. Given the overall rad housing thickness measured 34mm, taking away 9mm on each side leaves us with a core thickness of just 16mm. This is possibly the thinnest core available on the water cooling market. It was definitely the thinnest core of the rads in the test group with the next closest being 20mm thick.

The EX has a dense fin count of 18 FPI (fins per inch) which was measured in numerous places on the core.

Finish and Features

The EX360 has matte black finish and my used sample was in pretty good condition still after having a major mod carried out on it and was installed in a system. All round the EX looks and feels like a quality unit.

The XSPC logo is stamped into both edges.  There is only one input and one output port and there are no bleeder/fill ports.

Let’s see how it performs…
