The Alphacool Apex Distro Plate is the perfect upgrade for the North XL case, allowing you to integrate your desired components into a water cooling system. It was specifically designed for this case and integrates seamlessly into its design and construction.

The Alphacool Apex series stands for the highest precision, premium materials, and innovative technologies. This distro plate is a prime example: The chrome-plated G1/4″ fittings made of solid brass are not screwed directly into the acrylic – this prevents stress cracks and minimizes the risk of leaks. The two-piece fittings with O-rings provide a reliable seal and secure each other within the acrylic.

The integrated reservoir is made of high-quality acrylic glass. A color-coordinated front panel with cutouts offers a view of the water cooling loop. In combination with the integrated aRGB lighting, this creates an impressive play of colors that visually showcases the North XL. The distro plate is available in two color options – black and white – and thus perfectly matches the respective color versions of the case.

A particular highlight is the newly developed pump mount: The Apex distro plate supports pumps in the D5/VPP or DDC format. The pump is mounted on the back of the distro plate, saving space.

The Apex distro plate is mounted behind the front radiator using the Core Distroplate 90° universal mount – a A real eye-catcher in any system build. The Apex Distro Plate North XL is designed exclusively for mounting on 240/360 mm radiators. Due to the limited installation space in the North XL case, no other mounting option is possible.

Note: The Apex Distro Plate for the North XL can also be used in other cases, provided they are compatible with the Core Distroplate 90° Universal Mount. Exact dimensions and compatibility information can be found in the technical specifications. A pump is not included.

Alphacool presents its new graphics card water coolers for the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX generation. Part of the Core product series, these coolers combine top quality with exceptional performance. Thanks to an optimized technical design, they offer superior cooling performance.

At the heart of the cooler is a one-piece milled copper heatsink, complemented by a precision-machined brass connection terminal with a nylon cover. Chrome plating makes the copper heatsink more durable and provides a smoother and more radiant surface than conventional nickel plating.

The visual design of the GPU water cooler has been only subtly modified. A particular highlight is the newly added Core emblem above the jet plate, which underscores its membership in the Core series and visually enhances the design. The series continues to utilize high-quality brass fittings, guaranteeing optimal quality and safety. The specially designed aluminum backplate covers the entire back of the copper heatsink, ensuring a clean and uniform look. The acrylic backplate, in combination with the aRGB lighting, provides even and impressive illumination of the entire cooler.

Technically, the GPU water cooler has been completely redesigned. To optimize cooling performance, the distances between the cooler and the PCB components were redefined and tested. The water flow was simulated using state-of-the-art software and verified in practical tests. These extensive tests allowed for improvements to the cooler base and nozzle to ensure the best possible cooling performance for the new Nvidia GeForce RTX generation.
