## Long description

The Alphacool Core 1 Carbon is an all-metal CPU water block combining a 3D-Jetplate with a proven cross-slot coolant distribution to provide efficient heat removal for modern desktop processors. Machined from high-quality brass with nickel-plated copper base and connectors, the Core 1 measures 72 × 72 × 26.5 mm and features a black carbon finish. The cooler is compatible with contemporary sockets and offers a refined appearance with rounded corners and discreet aRGB Aurora illumination options.
Advantages
The Core 1 integrates an industrial-grade 3D-Jetplate for enhanced micro-flow control together with a cross-slot technique that evens coolant distribution across the enlarged copper base. O-rings inside the block direct the water flow precisely. The housing is CNC-machined from brass and fitted with nickel-plated connectors and a nickel-plated copper contact surface to ensure reliable thermal transfer and durable construction. The cooler supports large CPUs with its extended copper base and is available in multiple color variants including subtly lit aRGB models.
Suitable for
Custom water-cooling loops for desktop processors
High-performance and overclocked CPUs that require efficient heat dissipation
PC builds aiming for a compact, high-quality water block with carbon-black aesthetics

How to use
Prepare the motherboard by attaching the backplate (Intel systems) with the four spacers as a pre-assembly step. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the CPU heatspreader. Place the matching mounting frame onto the water block, align it over the spacers, and secure it by fastening four nuts to the spacers. Connect the cooling loop using the nickel-plated G1/4" fittings or compatible adapters, then fill and bleed the loop according to your system's filling procedure. Verify there are no leaks before powering on the PC.
Usage recommendations
Use only compatible G1/4" fittings and high-quality coolant. When installing, tighten fasteners evenly and avoid overtightening. Check socket compatibility (AM4, AM5, LGA 1700) and ensure the enlarged copper base fully covers your CPU heatspreader for optimal contact.
