Backplate Alphacool 10261 Aluminium Chrome Copper Black 95.7mm

The Alphacool 10261 backplate is a compact accessory intended for use in computer cooling systems, compatible with current Nvidia GeForce RTX installation environments. Constructed from aluminum with chrome and copper elements and finished in black and chrome, the backplate measures 95.7 mm × 186.5 mm × 21.2 mm and is designed to provide structural support and assist heat dissipation in densely packed workstations and server-style cases.

Advantages

This backplate uses durable aluminum combined with chrome-plated copper contact areas to improve resistance to corrosion, acids and scratches while maintaining effective thermal conduction. Its compact 95.7 mm width and slim profile enable installation in tight layouts where space is limited, and the anodized black/chrome finish offers consistent surface protection without adding significant weight. The design complements 1-slot water-cooling solutions by Alphacool intended for the Nvidia GeForce RTX generation, enabling tidy tubing and stacked cooler arrangements in server enclosures.

Suitable for

• Workstations and small-form server cases with limited internal space
• Systems using Alphacool 1-slot water-coolers for Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs
• Builds requiring additional structural support and passive heat-spreading for the GPU area

How to use

Position the backplate against the rear side of the graphics card according to the manufacturer’s mounting instructions and secure it using the provided screws or existing GPU mounting points. Ensure proper alignment with the PCB and any water-cooling brackets in the case. When used alongside Alphacool 1-slot water-coolers for Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs, orient tubing and connectors to match the rear brass fittings of the coolers for space-efficient routing. Verify that the backplate does not obstruct neighboring expansion cards or airflow paths before finalizing installation.

Recommendations

Inspect mating surfaces and fasteners during installation and perform regular checks for secure attachment. Use compatible Alphacool cooling components and follow coolant manufacturer guidance to avoid galvanic corrosion; chrome-plated copper contact areas increase durability but do not eliminate standard maintenance requirements.
