Finish and Features

The fin spacing is fairly uneven up and down the tubes with 15 FPI – 16 FPI being measured in numerous places on the core.

The uneven fin distribution is to be expected with medium to high density fin designs.

Finish

“Dark Matter” – This powder-coat finish will not be to everybody’s liking as it is uneven and rough. This is a deliberate finish style by Hardware Labs and at first I really disliked but after having a couple of them floating around the work area for a few weeks this Dark Matter finish has grown on me. nem3I now like the way it seems to shimmer as light reflects off the uneven surfaces.

Nemesis 360GTS (19)

I do like a good matte black finish so I was pleased to hear reports of European release of the Nemesis Radiator range having a Matte Black finish, leaving it as an import option

The Nemesis 360GTS stays true to Hardware Labs industry leading standards for build quality. It feels solid, all the joins look great and it has a little weight to it.

The choice of M4 threads for fan mounting is my favorite. The stealth design means that there is not much depth to the inbuilt shroud on each side (5mm) but there are protector plates to help prevent damage from attempting to use incompatible length screws.

Let’s see how it performs…

  2. I wish they did multi port versions of the Nemesis GTS. That would be the logical next design evolution for HWLabs.

  3. What are the implications for using a highly restrictive rad like the 360gts? Does it play nice with other rads in a multi rad cpu/gpu cooled rig?

    thanks

    • Hi David,
      This is a great question, that is rather complicated to answer, as so much of the detail is reliant on the other components in you water cooling loop.
      I’ll try to make the answer as simple as possible to understand, even if some the terminology isn’t technically correct.
      So…
      Let’s start back with the pump/s & pump top set up (which I’ll just call pump) that one may be using as it is the heart of any water cooling system.
      The pump has a maximum amount of “power” with which it is able to move the coolant.
      The maximum “power” has 2 dynamically linked properties which we call “Flow Rate” and “Pressure”
      As one of these properties goes up, then the other must come down, because the pump has a limit on it’s (maximum) “power”

      So let’s imagine that the pump is set up in a loop all of it’s own, with no other components.
      The flow rate will be very high because the restriction level is low and the none of the pump’s “power/pressure” is needed to overcome any restrictions.
      Now – if we start adding in components such as blocks and radiators we are placing restrictions the pump must overcome.
      To do this the pump’s “power” is dynamically changed depending on the restriction level of the components.
      More restriction = is more pressure needed by the the pump to get the coolant through the block/radiator….
      which results in a lower flow rate.
      So with a restrictive radiator like the 360GTS it will play nicely with other components in the loop.
      The question is, does your pump have enough “power” to achieve a flow rate you desire after using up “pressure” on the components.

      If nothing else, that should get you thinking 🙂

  4. Wonder if anyone knows how much the 360 GTS Nemesis weighs in grams? I almost replaced it with the Coolgate 360HD as the specs seemed better but when I held both in my hands it seemed liked the Nemesis GTS 360 was heavier as in better materials and more copper and had just as much radiator height internally though the 360hd had a taller casing and weighed 790g. Could not find wieght info published online anywhere. Mine is the X-Flow version however. Thanks

  8. Thanks for the excellent review. I really can’t figure out if this rad is for me though?? I will be using x2 360 rads to cool a 5820K+1080 GPU, using lower RPM fan speeds, but the flow restriction issue has me concerned. The Alphacool Nexxxos ST30 360 seems VERY close in performance, but with better flow restriction. Really don’t know which one to go for?! I have an EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM pump/res.

    • I also have the Ek X-Res 140 Revo D5 and also like to know what’s the better 360m slim rad at the moment?

      Will the Nemesis GTS 360 work ok with this pump? I will only have the an EK block for the cpu in my loop.

      Thanks.

    • A D5 puts out about 4.5 PSI at 1GPM, let’s assume 1 PSI for your cpu block and 0.5 PSI for your gpu block. 1 Nemesis GTS rad is ~1 PSI at 1GPM. So that’s a total of 3.5PSI at 1GPM which is well within reach of a D5 🙂 So yes the GTS will be fine. It’s more of a problem if you’re going to be using 3-4 as well as multiple gpu blocks and a weaker pump 🙂

      • What about pump like Magicool DCP450?

        Im planing to use Alphacool Eisblock XFX – its very restrictive
        2x Nemesis GTS 240mm – again… very restrictive
        and single GPU full cover block.
