Reservoir Alphacool Core Distro Plate Transparent Acrylic 125x240x68.8mm

The Alphacool Core Distro Plate is a transparent acrylic reservoir and distribution plate designed for custom PC water cooling loops. Measuring 125 × 240 × 68.8 mm and weighing approximately 1.26 kg, it integrates a reservoir and a pump top compatible with VPP or D5 pumps, and includes chrome-plated brass G1/4" connectors recessed into the acrylic. The unit features built-in digitally addressable aRGB LEDs (5V) for illumination and can be mounted on a case panel or radiator using the included Core Push Mounting kit.

Advantages

The Core Distro Plate combines an integrated reservoir and pump top with recessed two-part G1/4" chrome-plated brass connectors that use O-rings to prevent leaks and provide a clean appearance. Push-mount hardware allows tool-free attachment and easy removal for maintenance. Available in 240 mm and 360 mm variants with left or right pump-top positioning, it offers an accessible side drain port and bright aRGB illumination for visual monitoring of coolant flow.

Suitable for

• Custom PC water cooling loops with combined CPU and GPU cooling
• Installations requiring an integrated reservoir and pump top (VPP or D5)
• Builds needing visible coolant and aRGB illumination

How to use

Attach the metal pins from the Core Push Mounting kit to the case panel or radiator where the distro plate is to be fixed, and install the matching female sockets onto the distro plate as described in the manual. Push the distro plate onto the pins until it seats securely; no tools are required for final mounting. Fit the VPP or D5 pump top and connect tubing to the recessed G1/4" connectors, ensuring O-rings are seated correctly. Connect the aRGB header on the motherboard or an optional Alphacool Aurora Eiscontrol controller for lighting control.

Recommendations

Use only fluids and additives compatible with acrylic and follow manufacturer guidelines for pump orientation and bleed/drain procedures. Regularly inspect O-rings and fittings for wear, and perform maintenance or drainage through the side drain port when preparing to expand or service the loop.
