THE PACIFIC RL240

The 702g heavy aluminum RL240 radiator measures 282.5mm in length, 129mm in width and 64mm in height. Also thanks to the brazing manufacturing process used by Thermaltake and its double-rows and 13-set flat tubes the RL240 should be quite the performer.

To have a better idea about how thick this radiator is we placed it right next to two of the radiators we use in our lab one 36mm thick (bottom) and one 25mm thick (top).

Fin quality is excellent as you can certainly tell from the above picture and as mentioned earlier the RL240 has an FPI count of 14.

The radiator has four G1/4" ports at the rear and a single G1/4" port at the front

Unfortunately Thermaltake hasn't placed fin shields underneath the mounting holes so pay extra attention when using long screws.

The pump/reservoir combo features a high quality acrylic (PMMA) tube at the top which can accept up to 300ml of coolant.

Thermaltake has used a very powerful D5 pump which can spin up to 4800RPM (you can configure the speed manually) to discharge up to 1135 liters of liquid per hour at a maximum height of 4.5 meters.

There's one G1/4 port at the base of the pump and two more at the top of the reservoir.

Two mounting holes are placed at the rear of the pump which can be used to mount the device either directly or with the supplied brackets.

For the CPU Thermaltake has used their very own W1 water block (345g heavy) which features an all-copper base with anti-corrosive nickel plating.

Taking a look at the interior of the water block we see the 0.15mm micro-channel fin construction which according to Thermaltake offers optimal clearance and extreme heat dissipation.

Thanks to the nickel plating the base of the W1 features a mirror like finish.

The Thermaltake Luna 12 fans can spin up to 1200RPM and thanks to their hydraulic bearing and rubber pads placed on all 4 corners they can produce airflow levels of up to 50.44CFM (1.32mm H2O air pressure) with just 20.7dBA of noise.

Prior to mounting and testing the Pacific RL240 we did a leakage test and i think that the Luna 12 fans look great (since our test rig is not half as good as the P5 if you want to see a step-to-step installation of the Pacific RL240 take a look HERE).
