The Alphacool XPX ice block is the latest generation of CPU water coolers and offers not only outstanding cooling performance but also outstanding looks. Another unique feature is that the inner channels are also polished, making the cooler absolutely clear. Alternatively, a satin version is available with a milky look that can set completely new accents with the right lighting.

 

Highlights

1. Transparent nylon
2. Polished cooling channels for an outstanding look
3. Patented “ramp” system to increase performance
4. Individual design options for the assembly materials

The Alphacool ice block XPX is the latest generation of coolers from Alphacool. It is the first water cooler in the world to partially use transparent nylon. Compared to classic acrylic glass, transparent nylon is much more resistant to tensile and tearing forces and, of course, high temperature differences. The risk of cracks in the surface is thus minimized. In terms of appearance, Alphacool is also setting new standards and polishes not only the surface of the cooler but also the inside of the water channels. This makes the cooler as clear as glass.

The satin version can create completely different optical effects with the milky surface when the lighting is appropriate. This works particularly well with strong colors.

Of course, as with the normal XPX ice block, the mounting frame can be replaced with a different colored one. This allows the cooler to be customized and basically adapted to your own optical needs. In addition to the outstanding appearance, the cooling performance is of course not neglected. The ramp technology developed and patented by Alphacool to increase performance is also used in these ice block XPX coolers. With this technology, the water flow is directed evenly over the entire cooler base. With the normal nozzle technology, the water mainly flows through the middle, while the water hardly flows at the edges. In addition, the cooling surface is enormous at 34 x 32mm and is ideal for CPUs with 8 or more cores.

Alphacool presents the Core 1, a new generation of CPU water cooling. The latest desktop processors are continuously becoming more powerful, but also produce more and more waste heat. The Core 1 reliably solves this problem with the help of its entirely new 3D-Jetplate, which is also used in industrial applications. The all-metal CPU water cooler not only impresses with its elegant appearance, but also features a new mounting system that simplifies installation.

The best of new and old
Alphacool brings the best of both worlds together with the Core 1. In addition to the new 3D-Jetplate, Alphacool returns to its roots by using a proven cross-slot technique to distribute coolant evenly across the redesigned cooler base. Inside the cooler, O-rings ensure precise water flow for effective cooling. The Core 1’s housing is machined from a high-quality brass block and features nickel-plated connectors. The cooler’s copper base, also nickel-plated, has been enlarged to ensure full coverage of large CPUs.

New Mounting System
The mounting system has also been revised. Compared to previous Alphacool models, it requires fewer screws. First, the pre-assembly of the backplate (Intel) is done with four spacers. After that, the thermal paste is applied to the CPU. Then, the matching mounting frame is put on the CPU cooler and fastened with four nuts on the spacers.

Core Design
The functional and elegant design is a key element of Alphacool’s Core series. The nickel-plated connectors and the discreet contour line stand out from the high-quality brass housing. The rounded corners add the perfect touch to the overall look. The Core 1 is available in various color designs, as well as in discreetly illuminated aRGB Aurora models.
