Backplate Alphacool 10270 Acrylic Aluminium Chrome Copper Nylon Black Transparent

Alphacool Core-series GPU water cooler designed for the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX generation combines a precisely machined copper cold plate with brass terminals, an acrylic cover with aRGB illumination and an aluminum backplate. The cooler’s copper block is milled from a single piece and finished with chrome for increased durability and a smooth surface. The product includes high-quality brass connectors, a nylon-covered terminal and a redesigned visual element—the Core emblem above the jetplate. Dimensions correspond to common GPU mounting layouts; the backplate uses acrylic and aluminum to provide a uniform appearance while allowing effective illumination.

Advantages

The single-piece copper cold plate and refined brass terminal ensure reliable thermal transfer and mechanical precision. Chrome finishing improves surface durability compared with conventional nickel plating and yields a consistent look. Redesigned jetplate geometry, adjusted clearances to PCB components and CFD-validated water flow deliver optimized cooling performance for modern Nvidia GeForce RTX cards. The acrylic section combined with aRGB lighting and a full-coverage aluminum backplate provides even illumination and a neat visual finish while brass connectors and a nylon cover enhance safety and longevity.

Suitable for

• Custom liquid-cooled PC builds based on Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs

How to use

Install the water cooler following your GPU manufacturer’s instructions and Alphacool’s mounting guide: remove the original cooler, clean the GPU die and contact pads, apply appropriate thermal interface material to the GPU and memory chips, position the Alphacool cold plate and secure it using supplied screws and standoffs. Connect the brass fittings to your cooling loop using compatible tubing and ensure proper orientation of the jetplate and flow direction. Connect aRGB lighting to a 5V aRGB header or controller per your motherboard or controller manual.

Recommendations

Verify clearance to nearby PCB components before final installation; ensure tubing and fittings do not stress PCB traces. Use recommended corrosion-inhibiting coolant for mixed-metal loops, perform leak tests before powering the system, and follow Alphacool’s torque and mounting instructions to avoid overtightening.
