Alphacool Unveils Core Ocean P38 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler

Lots of performance at a fair price. With the Core Ocean AiO, Alphacool presents an all-in-one solution that offers an entry into performance-oriented CPU water cooling thanks to its excellent price-performance ratio. The difference to Alphacool's Eisbaer CPU AiO is that the Ocean All-in One is not expandable. Adding more components such as radiators, pump or expansion tank is not intended here. But also not necessary! The choice of components and the design of the Core Ocean AiO allow a long lifetime with low maintenance for water cooling of all common mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel. The included mounting hardware already allows Alphacool's latest all-in-one to be used on AMD's AM5 socket. Also included in the package is Alphacool's Subzero Thermal Grease. This electrically non-conductive 16 W/mk thermal compound is particularly well suited for high contact pressures, but can still be applied perfectly due to its viscosity of 850000 TF.

Alphacool Intros Liquid Cooler and Riser Card for M.2 NVMe SSD

NVMe SSDs in M.2 format have become standard PC equipment, as they allow high transfer rates and extremely low access times and thus enable faster and more effective work or gaming. Due to their design, however, M.2 NVMe SSDs are only capable of delivering their maximum performance for a short time. The controller chip heats up extremely quickly and begins to throttle the SSD's performance at an early stage. To ensure that the full performance of the memory can be used permanently, Alphacool now offers the Core M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Liquid Cooler with digital aRGB illumination.

The Core M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Liquid Cooler features 5 digitally addressable RGB LEDs that create a unique illumination. The LEDs can be connected to a digital RGB controller or a digital RGB capable mainboard and thus controlled as desired. The material mix of acrylic, nickel-plated copper and aluminium also gives the cooler a noble design.

Alphacool Unveils Eisblock XPX Water Block Made Entirely of Brass

Alphacool today presents the brass variants of the Eisblock Aurora XPX Pro and XPX Edge CPU coolers. Due to the high popularity of these very powerful CPU coolers, Alphacool has decided to offer these additional variants in black and chrome.

The new XPX Aurora Pro and XPX Aurora Edge models are made entirely of brass and are specially designed for processors with particularly large processor cores. In combination with the nickel-plated copper base, the waste heat of the CPU is distributed even better and transferred more efficiently to the cooling liquid. This is further supported by Alphacool's Subzero Thermal Grease, which is included with the coolers. With 16 W/mK, Subzero is currently one of the most powerful thermal pastes on the market.

It is the first step towards a new generation of Alphacool coolers that brings significant improvements over the previous Aurora generation.

What's new? Alphacool will be using chrome-plated instead of nickel-plated copper coolers for all graphics card coolers in the future. A chrome plating is significantly harder and more resistant than a nickel plating. Chrome plating also benefits lighting because it is much smoother and reflects light better than nickel plating.

Alphacool Unveils VPP Apex Pump with Support for SATA Power

Now available, is the Alphacool VPP Apex pump! The new pump in the decent matte black design can definitely be called the legitimate successor of the previously so successful VPP755 V3. For this reason, it is logical that many technical innovations have been adopted from the predecessor model. The maximum head of 4.25 m and the flow rate of 340 L/h are clear arguments for using the pump in a performance-oriented water cooling system.

Alphacool's VPP Apex relies on a smooth-running ceramic shaft. In addition, the motor's coils have been moved from the inside to the outside. These features successfully counteract the occurrence of vibrations, with the result that the pump operates stably as well as smoothly. A positive side effect is that power consumption is almost halved compared to similar pumps on the market.

Alphacool Announces Carbon (CFRP) 13 and 16mm HardTubes

HardTubes enjoy great popularity. Those who prefer straight and clean lines in their computer choose them instead of hoses for the water loop. The majority of HardTubes are clear and transparent. Alphacool now offers with the Carbon HardTubes an interesting alternative to the common variants made of PETG or acrylic. The smooth surface and the structure of the carbon laminate give every water cooling system a unique appearance.

The HardTubes are made of CFRP (carbon laminate) and have to be sawed to the right length for precise installation. Bending curves is not possible here due to the material composition. The HardTube connectors from Alphacool's Eiszapfen model range are suitable for connecting the tubes. The connectors in black, white or chrome perfectly match the carbon look. The Carbon HardTubes are available with 13 mm or 16 mm outer diameter.

Alphacool Announces ES GPX Copper Carbon VGA Blocks

The new ES GPX Copper/Carbon water cooler with backplate is specifically designed for Alphacool's Enterprise Solutions. From now on, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080/3090 and AMD Radeon RX 6800/6800XT/6900XT/6950XT graphics cards (based on the respective reference design) can be actively water-cooled in the smallest space.

In order to save space in width and height during installation, the input and output have been relocated to the rear of the cooling block. The positioning of the connections makes the hosing much easier and thus enables the easy integration of the GPU cooler into the water circuit even in the tightest server housings. Thanks to the compact design, only 1 slot is required for mounting the cooler in the server rack instead of 1.5 slots as before. Alphacool enters new territory here with the choice of materials. The cooler top is made of carbon with the result that the water cooler is significantly lighter compared to Alphacool's ice blocks with acetal or acrylic tops.

Alphacool Unveils Enterprise Solution C5 Parallel Distro Plate

Alphacool's new Enterprise Solution C5 Parallel Distro Plate greatly simplifies the design and construction of complex water cooling in tight server enclosures, making it the ideal solution for efficient tube management.

The ES C5 Distro Plate features 22 ports in G1/4" format. Due to the high number of connections, this results in a wide range of configuration options. Alphacool recommends here the use of the in-house ES quick release coupling sets made of nylon. With the help of these quick-release couplings, CPU and GPU coolers as well as radiators can be integrated into the water circuit or removed again in no time.

Alphacool Unveils Apex 17 W/mK Thermal Paste

Alphacool introduces the new Apex thermal paste. With a thermal conductivity of 17 W/mK, it enters the circle of the most powerful thermal pastes on the market. The main objective during development was, of course, to increase the thermal conductivity. However, points such as viscosity and durability should not be ignored. Alphacool was able to optimize the viscosity so that the Apex thermal paste is particularly suitable for high contact pressures and is still easy to process. The main ingredient of Apex Thermal Grease is a nano-powder with a very low thermal impedance. This makes it possible for electronic components to be cooled efficiently, thus extending their durability and improving their reliability.

Alphacool Unveils White Rise Aurora 120mm and 140mm Fans

Due to high customer demand, Alphacool is expanding its Special White Edition and now also offers the Rise Aurora fans in white.

The digital aRGBs create a unique illumination to complete the visual appearance.

Alphacool's Rise Aurora doesn't just score points for its design, though. Like the model in black, the fan is offered in 120 mm or 140 mm. Due to the high airflow (120 mm 154.1 m³/h | 140 mm 154.1 m³/h) paired with a high static pressure (120 mm 3.17 mm/H₂O | 140 mm 2.20 mm/H₂O), the fan is perfect for mounting on radiators of a water cooling system or for ventilating a case.

Alphacool Announces NexXxos HPE ST-20mm Slim Radiator

Alphacool's NexXxoS HPE radiator is now also available as ST20 variant. The compact slim radiator can be mounted very flexibly and space-saving even in the tightest cases due to its low height of only 20 mm.

Technically and functionally, the NexXxos HPE ST20 is comparable to the HPE-30 and HPE-45 versions. All water-bearing parts and the cooling fins are still made of pure copper. The number of water channels and copper fins inside the radiator has been increased with the result that a larger volume of water is now in direct contact with the cooling fins and the cooling surface is used much more efficiently. Thanks to the technical innovations, the heat transfer has been improved enormously compared to the previous NexXxos models and the cooling performance has been increased significantly.

Despite its compact design, this acetal water cooler has the same performance features as the coolers in the Eisblock Aurora acrylic series. Smart and efficient.

Alphacool Launches NexXxoS HPE-30 and NexXxoS HPE-45 Copper Radiators

For more than a decade, Alphacool's NexXxoS Full Copper radiator series has been one of the most powerful radiators on the market. With their incomparable performance, the radiators can easily dissipate even extremely high waste heat and have become indispensable in many areas of the cooling industry. Nevertheless, with the NexXxos HPE generation, it's time for the next evolutionary step!

What does HPE mean? Alphacool's NexXxos HPE radiators use the same materials as previous NexXxos models, but take it a step further technically. The number of water channels and copper fins inside the radiator has been increased. This means that a larger volume of water is in direct contact with the cooling fins and the heat transfer is improved enormously. The higher number of fin rows and their shortening also makes much more efficient use of the cooling surface. Comparison tests with the conventional NexXxos radiator have shown that a significant performance increase of 4.5K is possible when using the HPE radiator. At higher ambient temperatures and higher fan speeds, the performance gap with the regular NexXxoS radiators even progressively increases, reaching a possible performance increase of up to 6K. Such a performance leap has never been seen in the past.

Alphacool Eisbaer LT Aurora AIO Now Available with NexXxoS HPE 360 Radiator

Alphacool's CPU All-in-One solutions Eisbaer Aurora and Eisbaer LT Aurora are now available with the new NexXxoS HPE (High Performance Edition) 360mm radiator. What does HPE mean? The NexXxos HPE-30 radiator uses the same materials as the previous NexXxos models, but technically goes a step further. Due to the condensed internal construction, the number of water channels and copper fins could be increased. This means that a larger volume of water is in direct contact with the cooling fins and the heat transfer is enormously improved.

Due to the higher number of fin rows and their shortening, the cooling surface is also used much more efficiently. Comparison tests (test setup: ASUS Prime X299/Intel i9-10900X with 350 W waste heat) with the conventional NexXxos radiator have shown that a significant performance increase of 4.5K is possible when using the HPE radiator. At higher ambient temperatures and higher fan speeds, the performance gap to the normal NexXxoS radiators even increases progressively and reaches a possible performance increase of up to 6K. There has never been such a leap in performance in the past!
