Backplate Alphacool 10262 Aluminium Chrome Copper Black 119.3mm

Alphacool expands its Enterprise series with a new 1-slot water cooler designed for the current NVIDIA GeForce RTX generation. Intended for server enclosures and professional workstations, this cooler enables effective thermal management in densely packed systems. The design uses a thin but durable carbon plate to maintain a single-slot profile without compromising the integrity of the copper cold plate. Rear-mounted brass fittings allow multiple coolers to be stacked or placed side by side, reducing space usage and simplifying tubing and integration into the cooling loop. All liquid-contact parts are made of high-quality copper with chrome plating, providing greater thermal conductivity and improved resistance to acids, scratches, and mechanical damage.

Advantages

The cooler combines a compact 1-slot format with robust construction to fit into tight server or workstation configurations while preserving optimal contact with the GPU. Copper water-bearing components ensure higher thermal conductivity compared with aluminum, and chrome plating enhances durability and resistance to coating chipping. Rear brass connectors simplify installation of multiple units in a single chassis and support neat, efficient tubing routing for professional water-cooling layouts.

How to use

Install the cooler on the GPU according to the manufacturer’s mounting instructions, ensuring correct alignment of the cold plate with the GPU die and surrounding components. Connect the rear-mounted 1/4" fittings to the system’s water loop, checking for secure seals to prevent leaks. When stacking or aligning multiple coolers, use the rear brass connectors to maintain straight tubing runs and sufficient clearance inside the chassis. After installation, pressure-test the loop up to the recommended limit and monitor temperatures during initial operation to confirm proper coolant flow and contact.

Recommendations

Use high-purity coolant and follow standard water-cooling maintenance: flush and replace coolant periodically, inspect fittings for tightness, and avoid mixing incompatible metals in the loop. For server environments, ensure adequate chassis airflow and verify compatibility with your specific RTX card model before purchase.
