Backplate Alphacool 13463 Acrylic Aluminium Black 145.2mm

The Alphacool 13463 backplate is a combined acrylic and aluminum component designed for computer cooling systems. It features a black finish and a slim profile with dimensions of 145.2mm width, 214.9mm depth and 34.1mm height. The backplate is intended to fit behind a water-cooling or air-cooling block or radiator assembly to provide added structural support and an improved visual appearance for a PC build.

Advantages

Constructed from acrylic and aluminum, the backplate offers a balance between lightweight rigidity and visual clarity. The black surface provides a consistent aesthetic that integrates with dark-themed builds. The specified dimensions make it compatible with setups that require a compact support element while still offering coverage and reinforcement. The combination of materials helps dissipate minor heat and resists warping compared with single-material plates.

Suitable for

• Desktop PC builds with water-cooling or radiator assemblies
• Custom loop cooling systems requiring additional structural support
• Systems where a black visual accent behind components is desired
• Upgrades to existing cooling setups to improve rigidity and appearance

Key specifications

• Materials: acrylic and aluminum
• Finish: black
• Width: 145.2 mm
• Depth: 214.9 mm
• Height/thickness: 34.1 mm
• Function: backplate for cooling components providing support and aesthetic enhancement

How to use

Position the backplate behind the intended cooling component so that mounting holes and cutouts align with the chassis or component mounting points. Secure the plate using the original screws or mounting hardware appropriate for your cooling assembly, taking care not to overtighten fasteners against acrylic surfaces. Ensure that any thermal or insulating pads required for your specific configuration are applied between the backplate and components as recommended by the cooling component manufacturer. Verify clearance inside the case for the stated dimensions before final installation.

Recommendations

Use with compatible mounting hardware and check for correct alignment to avoid stress on fittings or mounted components. Clean the acrylic surface with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild cleaner if necessary. Avoid exposing the backplate to direct prolonged heat sources beyond typical operating temperatures of computer components.
