Backplate Alphacool Core Aluminium Chrome Copper Black 148.5x201.4x34.4mm

Alphacool introduces a new series of graphics card water coolers designed for the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX generation. Part of the Core product line, these GPU coolers use a precisely milled one-piece copper base and a machined brass terminal with a nylon cover, finished with chrome for enhanced durability and a smooth surface. The cooler includes an acrylic top with aRGB lighting and an aluminum backplate that covers the entire rear of the copper block, delivering a coherent visual appearance.

Advantages

The cooler combines a one-piece copper block and a brass terminal to ensure reliable heat transfer and robust connection points. Chrome finishing improves surface durability and appearance without using traditional nickel plating. Optimized distances between the cooler and PCB components, together with simulated and tested water flow, result in improved cooling performance for modern Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs. The Core emblem and aRGB-capable acrylic top provide a refined visual integration into custom builds.
