Alphacool HDX Pro Water - M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD - MCX Version, G1/4, Brass, Silver (11769)

The Alphacool HDX Pro Water - M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD - MCX Version is a water cooler for one M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD, populated on one or both sides. The cooler itself has no G1/4 ports: its two 3 mm hose nozzles take the 5/3mm hose in the box. That hose runs to the included MCX 2x distributor, which joins the loop through two G1/4 inner threads.

Properties

• Compatibility: M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD, populated on one or both sides
• Ports on the cooler: 2x hose nozzles 3 mm, screwed in
• Ports on the distributor: 2x G1/4 inner thread, 2x hose nozzles 3 mm
• Size (L x W x H): 70.7 x 23.4 x 10.9 mm
• Cooler: Nickel-plated brass, 1.6 mm bottom
• Hose in the box: 1 m, 5/3mm PVC, transparent

What the loop needs

The cooler has an inlet and outlet on each side, suitable for 5/3mm hoses. With the help of the distributor and the hose, it can be integrated into the water circuit easily as well as space-saving. Plug the hoses onto the nozzles of the cooler and of the distributor and, as the manual says, make sure they are pushed completely over the connection. The distributor can be positioned anywhere in the cooling circuit, and you can select the direction of the water flow individually.

The distributor has two G1/4 inner threads, so it takes two fittings, with a thread no longer than 5.5 mm. Alphacool calls this variant a reasonable choice if there is little space in the PC case and optimal hose routes are difficult to achieve.
