Coldplate Alphacool 14573 Acrylic Transparent 145mm x 280mm x 42mm

The Alphacool Core Distro Plate with integrated pump combines a functional distribution plate and pump assembly in a transparent acrylic housing measuring approximately 145mm x 280mm x 42mm. Designed for custom water cooling loops, it includes chrome-plated G1/4" brass threaded connectors with internal O-rings, recessed mounting to reduce stress and leaks, and integrated 5V aRGB lighting compatible with standard motherboard aRGB headers or the Alphacool Aurora Eiscontrol controller (article no.: 15360). The package also contains the Alphacool Core Push Mounting Kit for tool-free attachment to a radiator or case panel, plus detailed instructions.

Advantages

The distribution plate’s solid acrylic construction and two-part, counter-sealed G1/4" brass connectors provide increased mechanical stability and reduced risk of cracks or leaks. Recessed, non-screwed connector mounting minimises stress on the acrylic while maintaining reliable sealing via O-rings. The integrated 5V aRGB lighting offers visual consistency with motherboard-controlled lighting systems and can be optionally managed by Alphacool’s Aurora Eiscontrol. The included push-mount kit enables quick installation and straightforward removal for maintenance.

• Custom PC water cooling loops requiring a combined pump and distribution reservoir
• Builds where visible, transparent components are used for aesthetic effect
• Systems that use 5V aRGB lighting and standard G1/4" fittings
• Configurations needing easy-to-remove distro plates for maintenance or upgrades

How to use

Install the distro plate by attaching the metal pins of the push-mount kit to a compatible radiator or case panel and fitting the corresponding female sleeves to the distro plate, then push the plate onto the pins until it seats securely. Connect tubing to the chrome-plated G1/4" fittings, ensuring O-rings are correctly positioned for a leak-free seal. Wire the 5V aRGB cable to a compatible motherboard header or the Alphacool Aurora Eiscontrol controller if separate control is required. Follow the enclosed instructions for detailed mounting steps and leak testing procedures before powering the pump or system.

Usage recommendations

Use only compatible G1/4" fittings and soft tubing rated for PC water cooling. Perform initial leak testing with distilled water or the coolant specified by your loop components. Ensure adequate airflow and radiator sizing for the desired cooling performance, and avoid overtightening any fittings to prevent acrylic stress or damage.
