Details
The Alphacool Core Geforce RTX 5070 GamingPro with Backplate is a GPU water block for two Nvidia graphics cards: the Palit GeForce RTX 5070 GamingPro and the GamingPro OC. A chrome-plated copper block under an acrylic top cools the card, and the aluminum backplate is in the box.

Compatibility
Alphacool lists these cards for this block:
- Palit GeForce RTX™ 5070 GamingPro (NE75070019K9-GB2050A)
- Palit GeForce RTX™ 5070 GamingPro OC (NE75070T19K9-GB2050A)
The block was built for one PCB layout, and a card maker occasionally revises a board so that the cooler does not fit later models. Before you order, compare your card and its PCB number with the pictures in Alphacool's GPU configurator, or find the card in its Compatibility List for Nvidia cards.
Copper block and terminal
In the center of the block sits a copper cooler milled from a single piece. It is complemented by a precisely manufactured brass connection terminal with a nylon cover. The copper is chrome plated, and Alphacool says the plating makes the cooler more resistant. It also says chrome ensures a smoother and brighter surface than conventional nickel plating. The series continues to rely on high-quality brass connections, which Alphacool says guarantee optimal quality and safety. Its data sheet adds massive brass threads for secure fastening and a Core design for maximum quality and feel.
Design and lighting
Alphacool presents this block among its new graphics card water coolers for the latest Nvidia Geforce RTX generation, and they are part of its Core product series. It has only changed the visual design of the GPU water cooler slightly. A special highlight is the newly added Core emblem above the jet plate: it underlines the fact that the block belongs to the series and visually enhances the design. The backplate is specially adapted to the card, covers the entire back of the copper cooler and ensures a clear and uniform look. In combination with the aRGB lighting, the acrylic enables uniform and impressive lighting of the entire cooler.
Flow and testing
Technically, Alphacool says, the cooler has been completely redesigned. The distances between the cooler and the components of the PCB were redefined and tested to optimize the cooling performance. Alphacool simulated the water flow using the latest software, then tested it in practical tests. Those extensive tests made it possible to improve the cooler base and the nozzle, which Alphacool's page calls the jetplate. Its claim for the series is that these coolers combine the highest quality with exceptional performance. Thanks to an optimized technical design, it says, they offer outstanding cooling performance. Alphacool made the changes in order to ensure the best possible cooling for the new generation.
What the loop needs
The block has four G1/4 threads. Two of these connections take the compression fittings for your tube size, which are not in the box. The other two take the two plugs that are. The lighting runs at a voltage of 5V and connects through a 3-Pin JST plug, and an ARGB adapter is included. Thermal pads, thermal grease, a putty tool, a plug tool and a screwdriver complete the box.

Notes
- Alphacool asks that the block be used only with clear, transparent water cooling fluids. The particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog a radiator, pump, cooler or hose and damage it permanently, which can also void the manufacturer's warranty.
- The manual has you take the original cooler off on an antistatic mat, then clean thermal paste and pad residues from the card with a solvent such as isopropanol alcohol.
- During assembly, make sure taller parts on the card have enough space around them.
