Distroplate Alphacool Core 240 XS D5/DDC RGB support – internal liquid cooling distribution plate

The Alphacool Distroplate Core 240 XS D5/DDC RGB support is an internal liquid cooling distribution plate engineered for compact 240-sized PC builds. It combines a distribution chamber, pump mounting options for D5 and DDC form-factors, and RGB support to centralize coolant routing. The unit is intended to simplify tubing runs, reduce clutter inside small enclosures, and provide a stable mounting point for compatible pumps while integrating with system lighting.

Advantages

This distribution plate organizes coolant flow and reduces the number of external tubes and fittings required in a small form-factor loop. By offering mounting compatibility for both D5 and DDC style pumps it gives flexibility in pump selection and placement. The integrated RGB support enables visual alignment with system lighting without additional adapters. Its design helps maintain secure pump installation and a neat interior layout for improved serviceability and clearer coolant paths.

Suitable for

• Compact gaming PCs and mini-ITX or micro-ATX cases with 240 mm radiator capacity
• Custom liquid cooling loops requiring a centralized pump location and tidy tubing
• Builds where integrated RGB lighting and aesthetic cable/pipe management are desired

Key specifications

• Form-factor compatibility: supports D5 and DDC pump form-factors
• Mounting location: designed for 240-sized internal installation
• RGB: integrated RGB support for lighting synchronization with compatible controllers
• Function: internal coolant distribution and pump mounting
• Construction: rigid plate designed for secure pump and fitting attachment

How to use

Install the distroplate into the appropriate 240-sized mounting area of the case according to the case and distroplate mounting points. Choose the compatible pump (D5 or DDC) and secure it to the mounting interface provided on the distroplate using the recommended screws or brackets. Connect inlet and outlet tubing and fittings to the distribution channels, ensuring all seals are tight. Integrate the RGB cabling with your case lighting hub or controller and perform a leak test before powering the system. Follow manufacturer guidelines for pump orientation and coolant fill procedures.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible fittings and properly sized tubing to avoid strain on ports; perform a full leak test with the loop filled and the system powered only to the pump circuit. Verify RGB connector compatibility with your controller and secure all mounting hardware to prevent vibration. For compact builds, plan tubing routes before final assembly to maintain adequate clearance for other components and cooling airflow.
