## Long description

Alphacool Core 1 Aurora is a compact, all-metal water block designed for custom PC liquid cooling loops. Constructed from brass with a nickel-plated copper base, the water block measures 72 × 72 × 26.5 mm and features a transparent white top with integrated 5 V RGB illumination. The Core 1 combines a 3D-Jetplate flow structure with a proven cross-slot distribution to improve heat transfer across modern high-performance desktop CPUs, while O-rings ensure controlled coolant routing. The cooling unit is supplied as a single piece and includes a simplified mounting system for faster installation.
Advantages
The Core 1 Aurora offers effective heat dissipation through a hybrid internal design that pairs a 3D-Jetplate with cross-slot coolant distribution, maximising contact between coolant and the nickel-plated copper base. The brass housing provides mechanical robustness and a refined appearance, while the transparent white top and 5 V RGB lighting enable visual customization in liquid-cooled builds. A revised mounting system reduces the number of fasteners and streamlines installation for Intel and compatible platforms.
Suitable for
 Custom PC liquid cooling loops targeting CPU cooling on high-performance desktop systems
 Builds where compact water blocks and a visually coordinated appearance are required
 Systems using 5 V RGB controllers or addressable RGB setups for synchronized lighting

How to use
Mount the Alphacool Core 1 Aurora onto a compatible CPU following the manufacturer’s mounting procedure: pre-assemble the backplate with spacers where required, apply an appropriate thermal interface compound to the CPU heatspreader, position the water block and secure it with the supplied mounting frame and nuts. Connect the coolant tubing to the nickel-plated fittings and ensure tight seals. Connect the 5 V RGB header to an addressable RGB controller or compatible motherboard header to enable lighting. Perform a leak test and fill the loop according to your cooling loop’s recommended procedure before powering the system.
Usage recommendations
Use high-quality coolant and compatible tubing with the specified fittings, perform a leak test after installation, and follow recommended flow direction and pump speed guidelines for optimal thermal performance. Regularly inspect O-rings and connections and replace coolant according to the coolant manufacturer’s maintenance intervals.
