With the Core 1, Alphacool presents a new generation of CPu water cooling. The latest desktop processors are constantly becoming more powerful, but they also produce more and more waste heat. The Core 1 reliably solves this problem with the help of its completely newly developed 3D jet plate, which is also used in industry. The CPu water cooler, made entirely of metal, not only impresses with its elegant appearance, but also has a new mounting system that simplifies installation. New mounting system The mounting system has also been revised. Compared to the previous Alphacool models, it requires fewer screws. First, the backplate (Intel) is pre-assembled with four spacers. Then the thermal paste is applied to the CPu. The appropriate mounting frame is then placed on the CPu cooler and fastened to the spacers with four nuts. Core Design The functional and elegant design is a central element of Alphacool's Core series. The nickel-plated connections and the subtle contour line stand out from the high-quality brass housing. The rounded corners give the overall picture the perfect touch. The Core 1 is available in different color designs, as well as in subtly illuminated aRGB Aurora models.
