Backplate Alphacool 10265 Acrylic Aluminium Chrome Copper Nylon Black 161mm

Alphacool presents a water cooling solution compatible with the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX generation. Part of the Core series, this cooler features a solid copper base milled from a single piece with a precisely made brass terminal covered in nylon, a chrome finish for enhanced durability, and an acrylic top with aRGB lighting. A specially adapted aluminium backplate covers the cooler’s rear for a uniform appearance. The design includes a Core emblem above the jetplate and high-quality brass connectors.

Advantages

The single-piece copper block and refined jetplate provide improved heat transfer for GPU cooling. Chrome finishing on the copper surface increases durability and yields a smoother appearance than traditional nickel plating. Redesigned clearances between the cooler and PCB components and simulated-then-validated water flow lead to optimized cooling performance for modern GeForce RTX GPUs. The acrylic top combined with aRGB lighting delivers even illumination across the cooler, while the aluminium backplate ensures a consistent look on the rear.

Suitable for

• Custom PC builds using Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards
• High-performance gaming rigs requiring efficient GPU water cooling
• Systems where aesthetic lighting and a uniform rear appearance are desired

How to use

Mount the water cooler onto a compatible Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU following the manufacturer’s installation instructions for secure contact between the copper base and the GPU die or thermal interface material. Connect the cooler to the system’s water loop using compatible brass fittings and ensure leak-free connections. Attach the aluminium backplate to the rear of the card to complete the installation. Connect the aRGB and power cables to the system headers or controller set to the specified 5V input.

Recommendations

Before installation, verify compatibility with your specific GeForce RTX model and review the supplied mounting accessories. Use coolant approved for PC water-cooling systems, bleed the loop to remove air, and periodically inspect fittings and tubing for leaks. Follow safe handling practices when mounting the cooler to avoid damaging PCB components.
