Liquid cooling kit Alphacool 11971 Grey Transparent 281.5x130.5x24.5mm

The Alphacool 11971 Grey Transparent liquid cooling kit is a compact block designed to improve thermal management of graphics cards. With outer dimensions of 281.5 x 130.5 x 24.5 mm, the kit combines a low-profile form factor and a grey transparent aesthetic to integrate into a variety of system builds. The design focuses on direct contact cooling for GPU components and associated VRM and memory areas, offering stable performance under sustained load.

Advantages

This liquid cooling kit provides effective heat transfer through a dedicated cold plate and optimized coolant channels, reducing GPU core and surrounding component temperatures. The compact footprint allows use in mid-size cases where larger cooling solutions would not fit. The grey transparent finish gives a neutral appearance that suits both subdued and visually coordinated builds. Materials and channel design prioritize reliable flow and long-term stability.

Suitable for

• Cooling discrete graphics cards in compact and mid-tower PC cases
• Systems where space is limited but improved GPU cooling is required
• Users replacing air cooling or upgrading to liquid-cooled GPU setups

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 281.5 x 130.5 x 24.5 mm (width x depth x height)
• Cooling type: liquid-cooled cold plate for GPU and adjacent components
• Finish: grey transparent housing or cover
• Interface: designed to mount directly onto graphics card cooling surfaces
• Form factor: low-profile block intended for space-constrained installations

How to use

Install the cooling block according to the graphics card manufacturer's mounting points and the kit's installation instructions. Prepare the GPU by removing the existing air cooler, clean the GPU die, memory and VRM contact areas with an appropriate solvent, and apply thermal interface material where required. Mount the block securely, ensure all seals and fittings are properly seated, and integrate the block into the system's liquid loop using compatible tubing, fittings and coolant. After assembly, perform a leak test with the pump running and system powered off to verify flow and sealing before normal operation.

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion- and biological growth-inhibiting coolant compatible with the kit's materials. Employ compatible fittings and tubing sizes to maintain reliable flow and pressure. Periodically inspect connections and coolant condition, and top up or replace coolant according to the cooling system manufacturer's maintenance guidance.
