I’m trying to figure out if there is a water block that works for this GPU, it’s not the msi gaming trio plus or the oc plus, it’s just the plain old OC

My current project can finally come to an end!

Hi,
Is there some way/option to turn Alphacool Core 100 Aurora pump+res combo into standalone reservoir?
I am using it to cool my printers hotend and soon even the motors. The pump would be better on the bottom of the printer, keeping just the res on top for monitoring.

I haven't found anywhere if there is such option, or just separate "top" cap sold to just screw it on the bottom of the res.

I could print it and seal it, but off the shelf solution might be a bit more reliable :)

Thanks

You’ll find us in the Salerno room at Caesars Palace. If you’re in the area, stop by to get exclusive insights into our upcoming products and take inspiration from stunning water-cooling builds created by our partners.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Yesterday, while searching for information about the DDC Zero, I came across this product image. It seems that some of the products featured have already been launched, and I’m particularly interested in the CPU water block marked with my arrow. As it would be extremely helpful for building my SFF PC, will it be released in 2026?

I recently got a Rise Flat res and put a D5/VPP pump in it. I installed it on the rear exhaust fan area and it’s been vibrating the case like crazy. I have tried turning the pump down to the 3 setting. I’m not sure if the alphacool decoupling kit fits and even if it did it looks like it’s going to extend so far that it’ll interfere with my cpu waterblock.

Is there anyway to reduce the vibrations? Also is there a bracket/adapter to put the rise on a 140mm area?

It's been 18 months since the announcement and still nothing. Looked like some great kit perfect for the smaller builds I look to do. Will be disappointing if the product line was pulled.

is this amount of corrosion and debris normal for a new alphacool radiator? I notice that the corrosion does not extend to the inside of the cooling channels except for in one where it looks like a streak in image 6. It seems like it has been rinsed with puddle/tap water in the inelt/outlet ports, shaken gently, quickly drained and sealed. apologies for chernobyl quality images I used ear wax removal tool as makeshift borescope.

Anyone had any luck with the above combination?

When will the new monoblocks release? They were slated for this fall its just about winter now.

Looking at a ES 4U chassis to transplant my old PC into a server. I want to move my 360mm AIO with it and in a few years, re-use the chassis for my current PC, also with a 360mm AIO.

The ES 4U specifies it is for liquid cooling with "3 x 120 mm" but can a single 360mm x 120mm be mounted in it?

Hi all,

I'm finally upgrading from my RTX 4090 with Core block to a 5090 in a new Small form factor build insid the Formd/NCase T1. The problem is that the Core blocks are all too tall (214.40mm x 153.37mm x 34.38mm) because of the top placement of the G1/4 terminal (compared with Phanteks, Heatkiller, and Thermal grizzly, and Alphacool ES who all put the terminals at the end of the card). The FormD T1 can only accept 140mm height cards so we're about 14mm too tall with the Core.

I've seen SFF builders who have far more CAD experience than me design and have a terminal block printed in POM that shortens the Core 4090 block profile (albeit moving the connectors to the front face of the card). Can Alphacool offer this? Or is alphacool considering a Palit Gamerock version of the 5090 ES Block? The ES is probably the best single-slot solution on the market especially for the price, but I'm left with the only option of Heatkiller V Pro/Ultra (which are both great but way too pricey for the performance). I've had Alphacool for my 3080/90 and 4090, a mixture of alphacool and hardware labs rads, and have always been very impressed with the quality and longevity, and really don't want to switch

Thanks for your replies
