Core design

Alphacool calls the plate an absolute must-have for all custom water cooling systems. With its core design it's a real eye-catcher in Alphacool's words, and a functional masterpiece too. It says the plate simplifies the design and planning of complex water loops and offers uncomplicated installation.

The distro plate is made of acrylic glass that Alphacool describes as high-quality, and it features chrome-plated G1/4 brass fittings. These are recessed and intentionally not screwed in, to reduce the risk of cracking and leaks while simultaneously increasing stability. The fittings are also split into two parts that counter each other when mounted in the acrylic, and they feature an O-ring that Alphacool says is there for maximum sealing.

What the loop needs

The plate needs a D5 or VPP pump. For pump installation an O-ring is inserted first, then the four M4x22 pump screws are tightened with 1.5Nm. Connections you do not use take the three G1/4 plugs in the box, and a plug tool is included for them. The ports are marked: OUT leads from the plate to the component, IN comes back from the component. For the graphics card, choose the port closest to your GPU configuration. The maximum operating temperature is 60 °C.

Notes

• Please note Alphacool's note on application: use the plate only in conjunction with clear, transparent water cooling fluids. 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.
