Alphacool introduces its new series of graphics card water coolers for the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX generation. Part of the Core product series, these coolers combine the highest quality with exceptional performance. Thanks to an optimized technical design, these GPU coolers deliver outstanding cooling performance.
At the heart of the cooler is a copper block, precisely milled from a single piece and complemented by a precisely crafted brass terminal with a nylon cover. A chrome finish enhances the copper cooler’s durability and provides a smoother, more radiant surface than traditional nickel plating.
The visual design of the GPU water cooler has been slightly modified. A new highlight is the Core emblem placed above the jetplate, which emphasizes its affiliation with the Core series and visually enhances the design. The series continues to feature high-quality brass connectors that ensure optimal quality and safety. The specially adapted aluminum backplate covers the entire backside of the copper cooler, ensuring a clear and uniform appearance. The acrylic, combined with aRGB lighting, allows for even and impressive illumination of the entire cooler.
The GPU water cooler has been completely overhauled technically. To optimize cooling performance, the distances between the cooler and the components of the PCB were redefined and tested. The water flow was simulated using the most advanced software and verified through practical tests. These extensive tests allowed for improvements to the cooler base and jetplate, ensuring the best possible cooling performance for the new Nvidia GeForce RTX generation.

SSDs in M.2 format are becoming increasingly popular. The high transfer rates and extremely low access times allow faster and more effective working and gaming. To ensure that the full performance of the M.2 SSD can be used permanently, Alphacool offers the HDX PRO Air M.2 SSD cooler.
Why an M.2 cooler?
Due to their design, M.2 SSDs are only able to call up their maximum performance for short periods. The controller chip heats up extremely quickly and starts to reduce the performance of the M.2 SSD early to prevent overheating. Independent tests have shown that during write operations, the transfer rates of uncooled M.2 SSDs can drop after only 30 seconds. For read operations, the throttling usually occurs a few seconds later. With the Alphacool HDX Pro Air M.2 SSD cooler, the maximum performance of the SSD can be used over a significantly longer period of time. This is clearly noticeable during longer read and write operations.
How do I mount the cooler?
The HDX Pro Air M.2 cooler is compatible with both sides of M.2 SSDs. All you have to do is place the appropriate thermal pad on the lower cooling plate, then the M.2 SSD is placed on top. A further heat conduction pad is then placed on the top of the M.2 SSD and the cooler is placed on top of it. To keep the whole thing together, 4 clips are attached. The installation onto the mainboard is then done as usual.
