Alphacool Core 100 Aurora reservoir D5/VPP Acetal/Acrylic, G1/4, 150mm (15393)

The Alphacool Core 100 Aurora reservoir D5/VPP Acetal/Acrylic is a 200 ml tube reservoir with an integrated pump top for a D5 or VPP pump. The pump top is compatible with all original D5 pumps and all Alphacool VPP pumps. A pump is not in the box: the same reservoir with one is the Core 100 Aurora Reservoir with VPP Pump.

Properties

• Pump: D5 or Alphacool VPP, not included
• Capacity: 200 ml
• Ports: 3x G1/4 internal thread
• Size (L x W x H): 131 x 76.5 x 76.5 mm
• Lighting: 12 digital aRGB LEDs, 5V

Acetal and acrylic

The reservoir tube is acrylic, while the D5/VPP pump top and the lid are made of acetal. Alphacool says the Core reservoir combines performance with design, and that the combination of these two materials gives it a discreet appearance. The wow effect, in Alphacool's words, is provided by the LEDs in the top of the pump and by the light tower water effect inside the tube.

What's new?

Compared to the previous Eisbecher models, the acrylic tube now has an external thread. According to Alphacool this ensures more stability and security when connecting the cover and the pump top to the tube. The integrated digital aRGB lighting is also new: the LEDs are included and will no longer have to be purchased separately in the future.

What the loop needs

The reservoir needs a pump to run: a D5 pump or an Alphacool VPP. The manual marks the IN and OUT ports for your two fittings. The inlet can be used for filling, and it is closed with the screw plug and the tool provided.

Notes

• Note on application: please use the reservoir only in conjunction with clear, transparent water cooling fluids. Alphacool warns that the particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses. That can result in voiding the manufacturer's warranty as well.
• The manual's caution on the inlay position: make sure the filter with the inlay is always positioned on the top left, because only there is the water flow guaranteed.
