Alphacool's presentation at Computex 2025 highlighted an extensive suite of water-cooling solutions, each blending premium materials with thoughtful, user-friendly design. Beyond the already known Core 2 Aurora CPU AIO and Core GPU AIO, we saw new Apex-series and Core-series accessories, tubing, fittings, and chassis enhancements. The Apex GPU Cooler takes center stage for high-end graphics cards. Its chrome-plated copper block and backplate use Alphacool's distinctive Apex styling, and the internal flow path is optimized for maximum heat extraction during sustained workloads.




The Core GPU Cooler follows a similar recipe for the wider desktop-GPU market, combining a chrome-plated copper cooler, factory-fitted backplate, and an efficient, uniform design language that works across multiple card models.

Industrial and enterprise users will welcome the ES Tubes series. Crafted from Teflon (PTFE), polyamide (PA), and thermoplastic vulcanize (TPV), these hoses resist high temperatures, elevated pressures, and aggressive coolants, ensuring long-term reliability.

Matching these tubes, the Core Fittings range offers a large selection of 13 mm and 16 mm adapters plus specialty sizes, including 45- and 90-degree elbows, L- and Y-connectors, D-plugs and offset fittings in various colors to suit any build.

Chassis-level innovations included the Apex Distro Plate for the Dark Base Pro 901, which replaces the front cover and integrates reservoir and pump mounts in a sleek inverted layout.

For a slimmer footprint, the transparent Apex Manifold provides distribution channels without an integrated reservoir or pump.

Apex Monoblocks bring motherboard-specific cooling to CPU cores, VRMs and the top M.2 slot.

Meanwhile, the Core 70 Tube Reservoir features a real-glass cylinder and chrome-plated brass threads, and the Core Flat Reservoir DDCzero pairs the Core aesthetic with a compact but powerful DDCzero pump that fits even the smallest cases.

Finally, Alphacool introduced the DDCzero Pumptop, which houses the new DDCzero pump in either vertical or horizontal orientation and includes a push-mounting kit.

Finally, Alphacool also showed Apex Stealth Aurora Metal Fans, which combine a sturdy metal frame, vibrant RGB lighting, and patent-pending decoupling technology for quiet, high-performance operation.

Alphacool is doing a great job with their products, good quality at good price
 
Good price? Prices went up roughly 100% in a couple of years, and watercooling is becoming less and less meaningful - CPUs and GPUs have other limitations, not thermal ones, so dumping 1000 EUR on a custom cooling brings you just about zero performance increase.

Mmm, teflon PTFE forever chemicals, yay.
But also, these products in combination make custom water cooling look easier. If the price is right, maybe I'll tackle this project this Summer.
