Product details

With the Core 1 LT, Alphacool presents a light version of the proven Core 1 CPU water cooler. Housed in a plastic casing, the Core 1 LT relies on the reliable combination of a 3D jet plate and cross-slot technology. This allows it to effectively dissipate the enormous heat generated by the latest desktop processors. With its elegant appearance, it integrates seamlessly into any water cooling system. The new mounting system is also included, making installation on Intel and AMD processors easier.

The best of both old and new: Alphacool combines the best of both worlds with the Core 1 water cooler series. In addition to the new 3D jet plate, Alphacool returns to its roots by evenly distributing the coolant across the revised cooler base using proven cross-slot technology. Inside the cooler, O-rings ensure precise water flow, thus guaranteeing effective cooling. The nickel-plated copper base of the cooler has been enlarged to ensure complete coverage of large CPUs.

New mounting system: The mounting system has also been revised. Compared to previous Alphacool models, it requires fewer screws. First, the backplate (Intel) is pre-assembled with four spacers. Then, thermal paste is applied to the CPU. Next, the appropriate mounting frame is placed on the CPU cooler and secured with four nuts on the spacers.

Core design: The functional and elegant design is a central element of Alphacool's Core series. The focus is entirely on cooling performance for a fair price. The rounded corners give the overall look the perfect touch. The Core 1 LT is available in both non-illuminated and transparent aRGB versions.

You have to look for innovations, but you can still find them. The fourth best performance score for the oldest cooler, the best for the second oldest - on the one hand, our test confirms that there is hardly any progress left in water coolers. On the other hand, however, the second-best flow/temperature combination comes from the smallest developer, which no-one is likely to have had on their radar...
