Details
The Alphacool Core 2 LT 360mm CPU AiO Cooler is a compact AIO liquid cooler with a 360 mm radiator for AMD AM4 and AM5 and Intel LGA 115x, 1200, 1700, 1851 and 2066. As the successor to the Eisbaer LT it is designed for systems where installation space is limited but strong cooling performance is still required, with a radiator measuring just 22.5 mm thick. The same cooler comes with a 240 mm radiator.

Fit
The CPU mounting hardware in the box covers every socket named above. For Intel there is one set of brackets, a CPU backplate, four mounting parts for LGA 115x, 1200, 1700 and 1851 and four LGA 2066 screws. For AMD there is one set of brackets and four bolts for AM4 and AM5. Pressure springs and washers in two thicknesses complete the set.
On an AMD board the two-piece retention frame comes off first. On either platform you clean the CPU, apply the thermal grease and remove the protective film before the cooler goes on. The package includes the thermal paste and a putty tool.
Successor to the Eisbaer LT
The Core 2 LT combines the full-copper radiator technology of Alphacool with an upgraded PWM pump, high-performance fans and a compact CPU block. It is meant as an efficient and easy-to-install cooling solution for compact and space-constrained PC systems. With its PWM-controlled components and broad AMD and Intel socket compatibility, it is aimed at a balance of cooling performance, compact dimensions and value.
Ultra-slim full-copper radiator
Heat dissipation is handled by an ultra-slim Alphacool NexXxoS radiator. The radiator utilizes copper cooling channels and copper fins for efficient heat transfer. Its reduced thickness improves compatibility with cases where conventional radiators may create clearance issues. With support for three 120mm fans, the 360mm version provides increased cooling surface area while retaining the space-saving design of the Core 2 LT series.
Pump and CPU block
The CPU water block and the pump are integrated into a single unit, a compact pump and block assembly. Its chrome-plated copper cold plate efficiently transfers heat away from the processor, while the Alphacool Core DC-LT 3 pump provides the coolant flow. PWM control allows pump performance to adjust according to system requirements, providing a balance between cooling and noise. The pump runs at speeds of up to approximately 3,800 RPM, with a maximum flow rate of approximately 2.1 L/min and a maximum head pressure of 1.4 meters. Subtle blue LED illumination on the CPU block adds a clean visual accent.
Fans and tubing
Three Alphacool Core 120mm PWM fans provide the airflow through the radiator, with speeds reaching up to 2,500 RPM. Each fan delivers up to 72.63 CFM of airflow and 2.42 mmH2O of static pressure, the airflow and pressure necessary for effective heat dissipation through the radiator. Installation is simplified by the TPV tubing and by the fittings on the CPU block, which are rotatable. These features make it easier to route the tubing around memory, motherboard heatsinks and other nearby components, particularly in compact or densely populated cases.
How to connect everything
As an all-in-one cooler it arrives with the tubing and its fittings in place, so it needs no fittings of your own. The three fans connect through the included Y-splitter (4-Pin to 3x 4-Pin PWM) to one PWM header on the motherboard.
