## Long description

The Alphacool water block with integrated backplate combines a low-profile acrylic top with a matching black transparent finish and 5V RGB lighting. Designed to improve heat transfer from GPU components, this water block and backplate assembly supports custom liquid-cooling loops and fits within a range of PC layouts thanks to its compact dimensions: 288.5 mm width, 149.5 mm depth and 24 mm height. The acrylic top provides visual access to coolant flow while the black transparent styling and addressable 5V RGB allow integration into systems with synchronized lighting.
Advantages
This water block provides direct liquid contact cooling for GPU components with a precision-machined cold plate surface for improved thermal conductivity. The integrated backplate helps stabilize the graphics card and contributes to passive heat dissipation. The acrylic construction offers a balance of durability and visual clarity, and the 5V RGB lighting facilitates compatibility with modern motherboard lighting standards. Overall, the combination of form and function makes it suitable for users who require both effective cooling and visual integration.
Suitable for
 Custom liquid-cooled desktop PCs requiring GPU water blocks
 Systems where visual RGB integration and transparent coolant viewing are desired
 Builds needing a compact water block and backplate to fit constrained case layouts
Key specifications
 Material: acrylic top with metal backplate
 Finish: black transparent
 RGB: addressable 5V lighting compatible with standard 5V headers
 Dimensions: 288.5 mm (width) × 149.5 mm (depth) × 24 mm (height)
 Cooling type: liquid cooling water block with integrated backplate
How to use
Install the water block into a custom liquid-cooling loop following the GPU and case manufacturer instructions for mounting and thermal interface application. Ensure the cold plate contacts the GPU die or designated contact area using appropriate thermal pads or paste where required. Connect the 5V RGB cable to a compatible header or controller and route tubing to and from the block according to your loop layout. After installation, perform a pressure and leak test, then fill and bleed the loop to remove air before powering the system.
Usage recommendations
Use corrosion-inhibited coolant and maintain regular loop maintenance, including periodic checks for leaks, coolant quality, and fittings. Verify RGB header compatibility before connecting and avoid excessive torque on mounting screws to prevent damage to the acrylic top or PCB.
