Identification notes
What is known
The operator identifies the black four-fan radiator in this retained assembly as an EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (480). EK's manufacturer page lists EAN 3831109860243 and specifies copper fins, 90% copper tubing, brass chambers, a steel housing, 520 x 130 x 64 mm dimensions, approximately 600 ml capacity, 11 FPI, four 120 mm fan positions per side, M3 fan threads on both sides, G1/4 ports on both sides, and a separate bleed/fill/drain port. Those are manufacturer specifications, not measurements or tests of this physical unit. The supplied photographs show the radiator mounted in FI-CL-PART-011 with four white Noiseblocker eLoop fans visible on the near face. The operator reports eight eLoops total, indicating a push-pull arrangement, but the four opposite-side fans are hidden and are therefore operator-reported rather than directly visible. The frames do not establish individual fan model labels, complete fan fasteners, hidden fin condition, port plugs, thread condition, prior coolant chemistry, internal cleanliness, flow, or leak integrity. Remove or lift the assembly only after documenting cable routing and fastener positions; then inspect the radiator independently, flush it, verify all ports and plugs, and perform an isolated pressure or leak test before loop service.
