Liquid cooling kit Aquatuning GmbH 1023407 Black Transparent 145.9x235.4x32.1mm

Alphacool Core series liquid cooler for graphics cards combines a single-piece milled copper cold plate with an integrated terminal and an aluminum backplate for a coherent design and robust construction. The cooler features full chrome plating on the copper surface, chrome-plated brass G1/4" threads on both sides, and digitally addressable RGB lighting that evenly illuminates the block. Internal jet plate geometry and flow channels have been redesigned to increase cooling surface, improve water delivery to high-heat components, and accommodate improved fin thickness and spacing. Included soft thermal pads (up to 7 W/mK) ensure good contact with components across small tolerances.

Advantages

The one-piece milled copper cold plate with chrome plating provides durable heat transfer and a uniform appearance, while the integrated brass G1/4" threads simplify installation and maintain a consistent design language. The redesigned jet plate and optimized fin geometry increase cooling efficiency by directing flow to critical hotspots. The aluminum backplate complements the front terminal for a neat, homogeneous look and adds structural support. Addressable RGB lighting offers even illumination across the cooler. Supplied high-performance thermal pads help achieve reliable thermal contact.

Suitable for

• Water-cooling custom builds for graphics cards
• PC enthusiasts seeking a visually coherent block with RGB lighting
• Systems requiring efficient cooling for GPU core, memory, and VRM
• Replacement or upgrade of existing GPU water blocks compatible with G1/4" fittings

How to use

Install the Alphacool Core GPU water block according to the manufacturer's mounting instructions for your specific graphics card model. Prepare the GPU by removing the original cooler and cleaning contact surfaces. Place the supplied thermal pads and any required thermal paste as indicated, mount the block onto the card using the appropriate screws and standoffs, and attach fittings to the integrated G1/4" threads. Integrate the block into your loop, fill and leak-test the cooling system, then connect the addressable RGB header to a compatible controller or motherboard for lighting control.

Usage recommendations

Ensure compatibility with your graphics card model before purchase; verify mounting hole pattern and component placement. Use appropriate G1/4" fittings and quality tubing for secure connections. After assembly, perform a thorough leak test and monitor temperatures during initial operation. Follow Alphacool's guidance for pump and flow rate to achieve optimal cooling performance.
