At Computex 2024, Alphacool announced the launch of its new DDCzero product series. The star of the show is the new Core DDCzero PWM pump, developed in collaboration with Xylem. The Core DDCzero PWM pump is a compact powerhouse capable of driving a standard cooling loop comprising a GPU, CPU, and three radiators. Despite its diminutive size, this pump delivers outstanding flow performance while maintaining quietness and reliability. Complementing the Core DDCzero pump is the sleek Core Reservoir, featuring Alphacool's signature Core Design language and aRGB lighting. For those seeking a more simplified approach, Alphacool introduces the Core DDCzero Pumptop, an elegant solution that seamlessly integrates the new DDCzero pump into a compact package.

The Alphacool DDCzero family doesn't stop there. It extends with the Core DDCzero flat reservoir, which combines the power of the DDCzero pump with a low-profile design, making it an ideal choice for small form factor builds or scenarios where space is a luxury. Rounding out the lineup is the Core DDCzero CPU AIO, an all-in-one liquid cooling solution for CPU cooling based on the tiny DDCzero PWM pump. Available in multiple radiator sizes, including 240 mm and 360 mm variants, the Core DDCzero CPU AIO promises to deliver great performance and reliability with the new pump technology, paired with the standard Alphacool radiator cooling capability and fans.More images follow:

Alphacool is breaking new ground and presenting the innovative Core DDCzero PWM pump at this year's COMPUTEX. This completely new development was designed in collaboration with Xylem and is offered exclusively by Alphacool.

The Core DDCzero PWM pump sets new standards in terms of performance and efficiency. It is powerful enough to reliably supply a complete cooling loop consisting of GPU, CPU and three radiators. At the same time, it remains particularly quiet and impresses with its extremely compact design, allowing it to be integrated into any system with ease.

EK, the leading Europe-based premium liquid-cooling gear manufacturer, is releasing a stand-alone VTX pump, perfect for compact loop environments. These VTX pumps, which are already featured in pump-reservoir combos, boast a DDC-compatible mount, remarkable head pressure, and efficient flow rates in a small footprint - making it ideal for smaller cases. The pumps can be used with all reservoirs and distribution plates compatible with DDC pumps, providing an alternative option.

EK-LOOP VTX PWM MOTOR
For its small footprint, the VTX pump offers great hydraulic characteristics with flow rates of up to 1100L/h and a maximum head pressure of 5.3 m. The VTX is not equipped with a heatsink since its efficient pump motor doesn't require additional external cooling. That is one of its advantages over the DDC variants.

TechN adds a pump housing to the portfolio of high-quality water-cooling components. The Laing DDC pumps receive a premium anodized housing. It gives an often-neglected part of the cooling loop the shine it deserves.

Compact form factor, performance and uncompromising design
The TechN DDC pump housing expands the proven design and craftsmanship of the TechN product family to the next component. Top and bottom are machined from solid aluminium. The fins of the heatsink provide maximum cooling for your pump. The acrylic top is optimized for optimal flow. The housing comes with integrated vibration dampers and a 360° RGB illumination to keep your pump quiet and present it in the right light.

The TechN DDC housing is available in black or silver for a price of 89,90 Euros. The TechN DDC pump housing is available with preassembled DDC 3.2 (18 W + PWM) for 139,90 Euros. The top part of the TechN DDC housing can also be bought separately for 49,90 Euros. All TechN products are available at www.techn.de and selected partners.
