Waterkoeler Alphacool 13082 messing koper zwart 70mm

The Alphacool 13082 Brass Copper Black 70mm water block is a compact cooling component designed for direct contact cooling of processors and other heat-generating computer components. Constructed from brass and copper with a black finish, the block measures 70 mm x 70 mm x 32.5 mm and provides a combination of thermal mass and conductive surface area to assist heat transfer to a liquid cooling loop. The product supports a 5V RGB voltage for lighting integration into compatible systems.

Advantages

The brass and copper construction balances corrosion resistance and high thermal conductivity for stable heat dissipation. Its compact 70 mm form factor allows installation in constrained layouts while maintaining sufficient contact area. The black surface finish offers neutral aesthetics that blend with a variety of case interiors. Compatibility with 5V RGB systems enables coordinated lighting without altering the core cooling function.

Suitable for

• Custom liquid-cooled gaming PCs with limited space
• Workstations requiring targeted cooling for CPU or secondary processors
• PC builds where 5V RGB lighting integration is desired
• Systems using supported CPU socket types listed in product specifications

How to use

Mount the water block directly onto the CPU or target component following the mounting bracket orientation for the specific socket type. Ensure the mating surface on the processor and the block's contact area are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate, thin layer of thermal interface material to the processor before seating the water block. Connect the block into the liquid cooling loop using compatible fittings and hoses, and connect the 5V RGB header to a compatible controller or motherboard header if lighting is required. After installation, pressure-test the loop for leaks and verify pump and flow operation before powering the rest of the system.

Recommendations

Use compatible mounting hardware for the listed sockets and follow manufacturer torque guidelines to avoid uneven contact. Select corrosion-inhibiting coolant suitable for mixed-metal loops when combining brass, copper, and other metals. Periodically inspect fittings and coolant condition, and perform maintenance on the cooling loop according to standard liquid-cooling practices.
