Best selling CPU water coolers from Alphacool
On this page you'll find a ranking of the best Alphacool products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.
1. Alphacool Core XP³ Acetal, RGB
With the Alphacool Core XP³ Acetal light, you get a very compact CPU water block for all current mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel. It offers the typical high Alphacool quality paired with excellent performance at a fantastic price.
High cooling capacity! The cooling plate has been optimized to provide the best performance for the price point. The nickel-plated copper radiator bottom has a surface area of 56 x 56 mm with a cross-slot structure and only 0.4 x 1 mm thick pins through which the water can flow. Due to the extremely large cooling surface, the water can effectively absorb the heat from the radiator bottom and remove it from the CPU area. The pin area is about 27.6 x 37.6 mm, ensuring that most mainstream CPUs are covered completely, which guarantees high cooling performance. The new multiple slotted nozzle plate was developed especially for this cooler to achieve a perfect interplay of water flow and inflow of the base plate. Only the combination of all these little details ensures high performance.
Quick assembly! The mounting bracket is simply placed over the CPU cooler. All mounting screws can be pre-assembled onto this, and then you can easily screw it down. A well-illustrated manual with large render graphics is included to make the installation easy to understand.

6. Alphacool WAC Apex 1 CPU Kühler LGA 1700/1851
The Alphacool Apex series represents maximum cooling performance, exceptional design, and premium material selection for high-end custom water cooling systems. The Alphacool Apex 1 is the first CPU water block in the Apex series and combines all its unique features in a robust CPU cooler.
In the Intel version of the Apex 1 CPU cooler, the cooler fully covers the entire socket and CPU, including its hotspot, ensuring exceptional cooling performance. Alphacool relies on its proven cross-slot technology and introduces the 3D Jetplate 2.0, an evolution of the original 3D Jetplate. The improved design of the Jetplate creates higher water pressure. Additionally, a pre-chamber located before the 3D Jetplate 2.0 calms the incoming water and evenly distributes it across the Jetplate and the cooling fins beneath the cooler base.
The lower part of the Apex 1 CPU cooler is crafted from a solid block of copper. The connection section is made from brass, and both components are precisely CNC-machined from their respective material blocks. The cooler is assembled with an aluminum cover that nearly encloses the entire unit. Fine Apex design elements on the top surface allow the uniform illumination of the aRGB lighting to shine through. Moreover, an additional lighting element on the right side of the cooler emits a diffused glow towards the RAM slots.
The Apex 1's cooling block is specifically designed to cover both the CPU socket and the mounting holes, giving it a sleek and seamless appearance. Despite this sophisticated design, installation remains straightforward: the cooler is positioned on the top of the motherboard while the backplate is secured from underneath using screws.

8. Alphacool Icebear LT92
The Eisbaer LT 92 was specially launched for small form factor enclosures. The space available in these SFF cases is extremely limited, which is why the Eisbaer LT 92 differs from the normal Eisbaer LT in several ways. The cooler pump unit is only 40 mm high and therefore no higher than the IO shield of the mainboard. The Eisbaer LT 92 fits into almost any compact case on the market. The hose length is only 25 cm, making it ideal for small cases where laying long hoses can be cumbersome. This is another reason why Alphacool has dispensed with the usual quick-release fasteners on the Eisbaer LT 92. As is customary with Alphacool, the radiator is made of copper and comes from the well-known NexXxoS series. The pre-chambers, cooling fins, and water channels are made entirely of copper. The almost twice as high heat capacity of copper compared to aluminum is particularly noticeable when the radiator is pushed to its performance limit. When a comparable aluminum radiator fails, the copper radiator performs exceptionally well. The radiator base of the Eisbaer LT 92 is also made of nickel-plated copper. The TPV hoses and TPV connections with G1/4" thread come from the Enterprise Solution series for servers and workstations. The DC-LT pump is already used in the normal Eisbaer, Eisbaer Aurora, and other Eisbaer LT CPU AIO water coolers. Its silent capabilities have been confirmed in various tests of its sister models. The pump rotates at 2600 rpm and does not generate any significant vibrations. The DC-LT is a powerful pump that is also used for larger water circuits, offering a high flow rate. The Alphacool Eisbaer LT 92 is the perfect partner for SFF case fans and has been specially designed for them. The compact 92 mm full copper radiator provides more than enough power for powerful processors with a corresponding fan.

9. Alphacool Alphac Core Storm 420mm ST30 Set 1022065
