Alphacool Apex Monoblock for ASUS PROART X870E-Creator WiFi Motherboard, G1/4, Chrome Plated Copper, Black (14684)

The Alphacool Apex Monoblock for ASUS PROART X870E-Creator WiFi Motherboard is a CPU water block for one board, the ASUS ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi with the AM5 socket. Being a monoblock, it cools not only the CPU but also the voltage regulator modules (VRMs) and the M.2 NVMe SSD located below the CPU socket. It is specifically designed for the motherboard named here and mounts on no other.

Properties

• Motherboard: ASUS ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi
• Socket: AM5
• Cold plate: Chrome-plated copper (Cu-HCP), 0.40 mm fins
• Top: Plexi (LXN866) with an aluminum cover
• Ports: 2 x G1/4, brass terminal
• Size: 174.40 x 164.50 x 51.50 mm

What the loop needs

The terminal has two G1/4 threads, and they take two compression fittings for your tube size, which are not in the box. The manual marks them (IN) and (OUT): the inlet comes from the component before the monoblock, and the outlet leads to the next one. To run, the block also needs a pump and a radiator in the loop.
