Pump and top in one
The unit combines the pump with a durable pump top to create a space-saving, high-performance solution for custom liquid cooling systems. It was designed for, and is ideal for, small form factor PCs, workstations, servers and industrial applications, where it delivers reliable coolant circulation while minimizing the space required inside the system. Whether you're building a compact gaming PC or a professional liquid-cooled workstation, it provides dependable performance in an exceptionally compact package.
Housing and ports
Constructed entirely from acetal, an all-acetal construction, both the base and top provide exceptional strength and long-term reliability. All of the G1/4 threaded ports are machined directly into the housing, with the threads creating secure, leak-resistant connections while allowing flexible tubing layouts. Three ports keep the loop configuration open, enough to accommodate a wide variety of cooling loop configurations.
Pump
At the heart of the unit is the PWM-controlled pump, delivering up to the flow and head pressure listed above. PWM speed control allows operation between the ends of its adjustable operating range, enabling users to optimize the balance between cooling performance, power consumption and noise levels. The ceramic shaft and durable construction ensure dependable long-term use in gaming systems, workstations, enterprise servers and industrial cooling.
Mounting
The pump top features a clean, minimalist design that integrates seamlessly with the Core series while maximizing installation flexibility. The package includes the Core Universal Mounting Kit with its mounting hardware, which lets the pump top mount on a fan or radiator position. It also supports both standard (straight) and 90° rotated mounting positions, making it easy to optimize tubing routes in compact, space-constrained installations or densely populated systems. Alphacool's manual says to install the mounting bracket with the screws (4x M3x8mm) that hold the cover in place.
What the loop needs
A loop uses two of the ports, one in and one out, so the pump top takes two G1/4 fittings. The third takes the plug in the box. The pump runs from a 4-Pin PWM cable.
In the box
- 1x Alphacool Core DDCzero Pumptop
- 1x Alphacool Core DDCzero 3300-4800rpm PWM Pump
- 1x Alphacool Core universal bracket set for DDCzero reservoir
- 1x G1/4 Plug
