Backplate Alphacool 10260 Aluminium Chrome Copper Black 154mm

The Alphacool 10260 Backplate is designed for PC cooling systems and complements Alphacool's Core series GPU water coolers for the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX generation. Made from aluminium with chrome and black finishes, this 154 mm backplate covers the entire rear of the copper cooler to provide a uniform appearance and additional structural support while contributing to heat dissipation and overall build coherence.

Advantages

It is specifically adapted to match Alphacool copper GPU coolers and brass connectors, offering a consistent visual style and reliable mechanical compatibility. Its full-coverage design conceals the PCB area behind the cooler and works with aRGB-accented acrylic components to ensure even illumination.
