Details
The Alphacool Core DDCzero Flat Reservoir 140 with Pump is a compact flat reservoir with the DDCzero PWM pump integrated and five G1/4 ports. It is the 140 model of the series, and the included bracket mounts it directly to any standard 120mm fan or radiator location. The smaller size is the Flat Reservoir 90 with pump.

Reservoir and pump in one
The reservoir combines a spacious flat tank with the powerful DDCzero pump in an all-in-one solution for custom liquid cooling systems. Offering increased coolant capacity while maintaining a slim profile and a compact footprint, it suits gaming PCs, workstations and other systems that require efficient cooling. It is an excellent choice where a build should get that without sacrificing valuable case space.
Base, top and ports
The reservoir is built with a durable acetal base and a crystal-clear acrylic top, providing both exceptional durability and a clear view of your coolant. All of the G1/4 threaded ports are integrated directly into the base. With the threads in acetal for enhanced durability, eliminating stress on the acrylic, the ports stay free for any role. That provides flexible options for inlet, outlet, fill and drain configurations to simplify loop planning and configuration.
Lighting
The reservoir features integrated digital aRGB lighting that evenly illuminates it, highlighting coolant colors while complementing the clean styling of the Core series. It connects directly to a compatible 5V motherboard aRGB header. An optional Alphacool aRGB controller does the same job, for synchronized lighting effects throughout your build.
Pump
The PWM-controlled pump delivers dependable coolant circulation, with the maximum flow rate and maximum head pressure listed above. PWM control allows the pump speed to be adjusted between the ends of its adjustable operating range, enabling the perfect balance between cooling performance and quiet operation. A ceramic shaft and durable construction ensure reliable long-term performance.
Mounting
For added installation flexibility, the package includes the Core Universal Mounting Kit with its mounting hardware, which lets the reservoir mount on a fan or radiator position. The bracket supports both standard (straight) and 90° rotated mounting positions, making it easy to optimize tubing routes and accommodate a wide range of custom loop configurations.
What the loop needs
A loop uses two of the ports, one in and one out, so the reservoir takes two G1/4 fittings. The other three take the three plugs in the box, and the plug tool sets them. The pump runs from a 4-Pin PWM cable. Alphacool's manual shows the pump installation and the inlet and outlet configuration for the Flat Reservoir 140, with the dimensions in millimeter (mm).
