Alphacool Core Distro Plate
Alphacool Core Distro Plate
The new Core Distro Plate from Alphacool is a must-have for every performance-oriented custom water cooling system. It greatly simplifies the planning, construction and maintenance of complex water loops. The Distro Plate features an integrated reservoir with pump top for VPP/D5 pumps. Due to the arrangement of the G1/4″ connections, confusing and complicated tubing paths will be a thing of the past. Therefore, the Core Distro Plate is ideally suited for custom water loops in which CPU and graphics card(s) are to be cooled simultaneously.
A beautiful and elegant element of the Core Distro Plate are the chrome-plated, brass G1/4″ connectors. Recessed into the acrylic and fitted with an O-ring, the connectors are absolutely leak-proof and support the clean and functional look of the Alphacool Core Design series. The connections are not screwed directly into the acrylic to prevent cracking and resulting leakage.
Alphacool’s Core Distro Plate is made of high-quality acrylic, which allows a clear view of the coolant and provides brilliant illumination through the built-in, digitally addressable aRGB LEDs.
With the help of the included Core Push Mounting Kit, the Distro Plate can be easily mounted on the case panel or on a radiator. This ensures stable positioning as well as easy disassembly for maintenance or expansion projects. The Core Distro Plate is now available as 240mm or 360mm variant with left or right placement of the pump top in the Alphacool Online Shop.

Recently Alphacool announced its Apex thermal grease with a rated thermal conductivity of 17 W/mk. This is considerably higher than the average, and anything rated above 8.5 W/mk is generally considered high performance. Alphacool accomplishes this by utilizing “nano-particles” with lower thermal impedance. The Apex Thermal Grease will be available at Alphacool’s website for $15.62 and come in a four-gram syringe. Below is Alphacool’s press release, along with additional specifications.
