Waterblok Alphacool Core 1 LT Aurora acryl koper nikkel zwart transparant

The Alphacool Core 1 LT Aurora Acrylic Copper Nickel Black Transparent is a compact CPU water block designed to dissipate the waste heat of modern desktop processors. Housed in a polymer casing with an acrylic top and a nickel-plated copper base, the Core 1 LT combines a 3D jetplate with proven cross-slot technology to ensure even coolant distribution and efficient heat transfer. The cooler is available in non-illuminated and transparent aRGB versions and is designed to integrate into custom water cooling loops.

Advantages

The Core 1 LT pairs a 3D jetplate with cross-slot technology to provide uniform coolant flow and effective cooling across large CPU surfaces. The enlarged nickel-plated copper base ensures full coverage of modern CPUs while internal O-rings guide precise water flow. The revised mounting system reduces the number of screws required and simplifies installation for Intel and AMD sockets. Its compact, rounded design balances functionality with compatibility in various water-cooling setups.

How to use

Pre-assemble the backplate for Intel platforms using the four spacers provided, then apply thermal paste to the CPU. Place the matching mounting frame onto the CPU cooler and fasten it with the four nuts on the spacers. For AMD installations follow the corresponding mounting steps included with the product. Connect the water block into your custom loop using appropriate fittings and tubing, ensuring leak-free connections before filling the loop and powering on the system.

Recommendations

Use compatible fittings and appropriate coolant for your loop. Verify socket compatibility (AM5, AM4, LGA 1700) before installation. Tighten fasteners evenly and test the loop for leaks at low pump speed prior to normal operation.
