Details
The Alphacool Core Geforce RTX 5080/5070 Ti Solid Core with Backplate is a GPU water block for Zotac's Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti SOLID CORE graphics cards. Alphacool also lists the Zotac Gaming Geforce RTX 5070 Ti Solid SFF OC 16GB for it. It cools the card with a chrome-plated copper cooler under an acrylic top, and the aluminum backplate is in the box.

The block was designed for one PCB layout, and card makers sometimes revise a board so that a cooler no longer fits later models. Before ordering, compare your card and its PCB number with the pictures in Alphacool's GPU configurator, or look it up in its Compatibility List for Nvidia cards.
Copper cooler and terminal
At the center of the block is the copper cooler, precisely milled from a single piece. It is complemented by a precision-machined brass connection terminal with a nylon cover. Alphacool says the chrome plating makes the copper cooler more durable and provides a smoother and brighter surface than conventional nickel plating. The series continues to rely on high-quality brass connectors, which Alphacool describes as guaranteeing optimal quality and safety.
Design and lighting
Alphacool presents this block among its new graphics card water coolers for the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX generation. They are part of Alphacool's Core product series. The visual design has been modified only slightly. A special highlight is the newly added Core emblem above the jet plate, which underscores the block's affiliation with the Core series and visually enhances the design. The aluminum backplate is specially adapted to the card, covers the entire back of the copper cooler and ensures a clear, uniform appearance. Combined with the aRGB lighting, the acrylic enables uniform and impressive illumination of the complete cooler.
Flow and testing
Technically, Alphacool says, the GPU water cooler has been completely redesigned. To optimize cooling performance, it redefined and tested the gaps between the cooler and the PCB components. The water flow was simulated using state-of-the-art software, then verified in practical tests. Those extensive tests were what enabled improvements to the cooler base and to the nozzle, which Alphacool's own page calls the jetplate. Alphacool's claim for the series is that these coolers combine the highest quality with exceptional performance. It also says that, thanks to an optimized technical design, these GPU coolers offer outstanding cooling performance. The tests, it says, ensure the best possible cooling for the new RTX generation.
What the loop needs
The block has four G1/4 threads as its connections. Two take the compression fittings for your tube size, which are not in the box, and the other two take the two plugs that are. The lighting has a 3-Pin JST power connection at a voltage of 5V, and an ARGB adapter is included. Thermal pads, thermal grease, a putty tool, a screwdriver and the PCIe bracket also come with the block.

Notes
- Alphacool asks that the block be used only with clear transparent water cooling fluids. It warns that the particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage a radiator, a pump, a cooler or the hoses, and that this can void the manufacturer's warranty.
- Remove the original cooler on an antistatic mat and clean the card of thermal paste and pad residues before fitting the block.
