Alphacool Apex aluminum backplate for LGA1700 socket coolers
Alphacool today introduces the Apex aluminum backplate. The backplate is designed specifically for Intel’s LGA 1700 socket to optimize the cooling performance of Alphacool’s Eisbaer AIOs and XPX CPU coolers.
The backplate replaces the standard Intel CPU mount on the back of the mainboard and prevents the LGA 1700 socket from bending when mounting the cooler. This serves to protect the mainboard and enables an even and perfect contact pressure for all Alphacool XPX CPU water coolers, Eisbaer AIOs, and their Solo variants. All in all, this leads to a significant improvement in cooling performance.

Today, Alphacool announched the launch of its ST25 full copper line of radiators. Measuring only 25.5mm thick, they are sure to come in handy for those who prefer smaller cases. The ST25 will be available in 120mm, 240mm, and 360mm.
Today, Alphacool launched four new radiators for the NexXxoS series, the XT45 Dual-Flow 360 mm, UT60 Dual-Flow 360 mm, ST25 92 mm, and the ST25 92 mm Dual. All four feature a full copper pre-chamber, cooling channels, and cooling fins. The XT45 and UT60 Dual-Flow 360 mm radiators are designed around Alphacool’s X-Flow concept and create two separate cooling chambers. This design is marketed for server applications where space is severely limited.
The ST25 92 mm and ST25 92 mm Dual (184 mm) radiators are compact and perfect for cooling the growing trend of mini-PCs and small form factor (SFF) applications. All four products are currently available on the Alphacool website. Prices are listed below in the press release.
On the heels of the 3090 Ti release, Alphacool announced its latest GPU water block, the Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3090TI Founders Edition with an active backplate.

Also available is an optional backplate with active cooling and an MCX adapter to connect it all together. But wait! That’s not all. A dual-slot mounting plate is included with the water block reducing the overall size of the GPU. Below is Alphacool’s press release with pricing and additional information.
