Watercool HTSF2 3×120 LT 360 Radiator Review

The intention of this write up is to provide information and performance data about the Watercool HTSF2 3 x 120 LT radiator for inclusion in the Extreme Rigs Rad Round Up 2015. I’ll be keeping the review section short and factual, focusing on presenting the performance data compiled through the numerous tests carried out. First of all a big thanks to Watercool for providing this sample of the HTSF2.

What’s in the box?

The HTSF2 is shipped a rather plain white box with some stickers.

It is not uncommon for Watercool to utilize the same packaging for various products. The 360mm appears to have been sent in a 480mm rad box with some air pouches to stop the rad sliding around. The box was a bit dented up at both ends but the radiator was in perfect shape.

The radiator and accessories were wrapped together in bubble wrap.

A half decent effort has been made to protect the core by placing a protective cardboard sheet across the port side to which the attachment screws have been taped. I say half decent because the other side does not have the cardboard protection.

We also get a product sheet with a brief description, technical data and installation instructions.

Watercool HTSF2-4-4

I thought the use of countersunk heads on the provided M3 screws was unusual, but found them to work perfectly with the hard plastic frame of the AP-15 fans used for testing. Care might need to be taken on fans with rubberized corners. These screws would be unsuitable for use with filters or guards fitted in front of the fans.
