Alphacool presents the Apex 1, the first CPU water cooler in the Apex series. It combines maximum cooling performance, exceptional design, and a high-quality selection of materials. The Apex 1 integrates the proven cross-slot technology with the new 3D-Jetplate 2.0, ensuring optimal cooling performance for both AMD and Intel processors of the latest generation. A pre-chamber in front of the 3D-Jetplate 2.0 smooths the incoming water flow and evenly distributes it across the Jetplate and the copper base's cooling fins. Both the copper base and the brass connector part are precisely CNC-machined to guarantee top-notch manufacturing quality.

Alphacool offers two versions of the cooler. The AMD AM5 version features an offset cooler base, which does not sit centrally on the CPU. Instead, it is positioned to direct the water injection right above the CPU hotspot. The Intel version has a centrally positioned cooler base that covers the entire CPU. Both versions ensure outstanding cooling performance. The cooler's design is made to fully cover the CPU socket and mounting holes. This does not affect the installation, which remains incredibly simple. Additionally, the coolers come equipped with aRGB lighting, positioned both on the top and on the side towards the RAM, perfectly complementing the design.



The Alphacool Apex 1 is now available in the AM5 and LGA 1700/1851 versions at the Alphacool online shop.

Features
  • New improved Jetplate
  • Optimized hotspot cooling
  • Quick and easy installation
  • Beautiful aRGB lighting

i had a core 1, seriously good block, if i still had a loop i would definatley be buying an Apex. I like the better, imo, mount setup and i bet it will be as good if not better performing than the Core block.

Are we going to see a TPU test of this?
