Alphacool Core 2 XT 420mm CPU AiO Cooler (14713)

The Alphacool Core 2 XT 420mm CPU AIO is an AIO liquid cooler with a 420 mm radiator for AMD AM4 and AM5 and Intel LGA 1700 and LGA 1851. It distinguishes itself from conventional sealed AIO coolers through its serviceable construction. It combines a NexXxoS HPE full-copper radiator with G1/4 ports, a Core DC-LT 3 pump and three 140 mm aRGB PWM fans. The same cooler comes with a 360 mm radiator.

Properties

• Intel sockets: LGA 1700, 1851
• AMD sockets: AM4, AM5
• Radiator: 420 mm NexXxoS HPE Full Copper, 30 mm thick
• Fans in the box: 3 x 140 mm aRGB PWM
• Pump: Core DC-LT 3, PWM, up to approximately 3,800 RPM
• Tubes: TPV tubing

Fit

Socket compatibility: AM4 and AM5 on the AMD side, LGA 1700 and LGA 1851 on the Intel side. The CPU mounting hardware in the package includes one bracket set for each maker. An AMD board keeps its original backplate once the two-piece retention frame is removed. The backplate in the box is only required for the Intel socket.

Before mounting, clean the CPU and apply the thermal grease; a putty tool is among the accessories. Remove the protective film, then hand tighten the mounting only. The radiator is large and designed for three 140mm fans: the case has to be one that can accommodate it.

Custom loop parts in an all-in-one

The cooler brings technology and materials traditionally found in custom water cooling systems into a convenient all-in-one CPU cooler. It is designed for high-performance systems that have room for the radiator. It delivers many of the advantages of a custom system while retaining the straightforward installation and convenience of an AIO.

CPU block and pump

At the heart of the CPU block is cooling technology derived from, and based on, Alphacool's Core 1 series. A chrome-plated copper cold plate transfers heat from the processor into the coolant efficiently. The integrated pump provides the circulation throughout the system, operating at speeds of up to approximately 3,800 RPM with a maximum flow rate of approximately 2.1 L/min and a maximum head pressure of 1.4 meters. Block and pump are enclosed within an aluminum housing. The aluminum does not touch the coolant, remaining completely isolated from it.
