The Core Distro Plate from Alphacool with VPP Apex pump is a must have for any custom water cooling system. It greatly simplifies the construction, planning and maintenance of complex water loops and thanks to the existing VPP Apex, a stable and smooth flow is ensured.

Core Design

A core element of Alphacool's Core Design series are the chrome-plated, brass G1/4" connectors. With the Core Distro Plate, the ports are recessed instead of screwed into a thread as is usually the case. This allows Alphacool to overcome the problem of potential leakage due to cracking by screwing the connectors directly into the acrylic. The connectors are made of two parts, have an O-ring and counter each other when mounted in the acrylic. This not only ensures absolute leak proofing of each connector, but also allows for the clean and functional look of Alphacool's Core Design series.

Easy installation

Using the included Core Push Mounting kit, the Distro Plate can be mounted on the case panel or on a radiator. To do this, the metal pins are attached to the radiator or the panel of the PC case and the matching female sockets are attached to the Distro Plate (see manual). The next assembly step is to simply push the Distro Plate onto the pins without the need for any tools. Alphacool's push-mounting allows for a tight fit of the Distro Plate on the case panel or radiator and allows for easy removal for maintenance or expansion projects.

Game Changer

With an integrated reservoir and VPP Apex pump, the Distro Plate is available in a 240mm or 360mm variant, each with left or right positioning of the pump top. This makes the Core Distro Plate ideal for custom water loops where CPU and graphics card(s) are to be cooled simultaneously. Due to the arrangement of the G1/4" connections, complicated tubing paths will be a thing of the past moving forward. Maintenance is more efficient with the additional drain port located on the side for easier draining.

High-Quality Material Selection & Brilliant Illumination

Alphacool's Core Distro Plate is made of high-quality acrylic. This allows an unobstructed view of the coolant and enables brilliant illumination from the built-in digitally addressable aRGB LEDs. The lighting can be controlled via a digital aRGB header on the mainboard or optionally by Alphacool's Aurora Eiscontrol aRGB controller (item no.: 15360).

The Pump

Alphacool's Apex VPP doesn't use a spherical bearing and relies on a ceramic axle. The motor's coils have been moved from the inside to the outside which allows the pump to run smoother and increases stability. With these changes, vibrations have been significantly reduced and power consumption has been almost halved as a result.

Control

The Apex VPP pump has a 4-pin fan connector that connects to the motherboard or to an external controller. This allows you to control the speed range of the pump via PWM and read out the RPM signal. The pump is connected to the power supply using a SATA connector.

Compatibility:

- Can be mounted on the radiator or panel

**Please Note**

Please use only in conjunction with clear transparent water cooling fluids. The particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses. This can result in voiding the manufacturer's warranty as well.
