The new match of two design highlights! Alphacool presents the Core Distro Plates now in combination with the VPP Apex pump. This setup should not be missing in any performance-oriented custom water cooling system in which CPU and graphics card(s) are to be cooled simultaneously. The Distro Plate greatly simplifies the planning, construction and maintenance of complex water loops. It not only has an integrated reservoir, but also features an integrated VPP Apex pump. Due to the arrangement of the G1/4" connections, confusing and complicated hose paths are a thing of the past.

A stylish and elegant element of the Core Distro Plate are the chrome-plated, brass G1/4" connections. The connections, which are recessed into the acrylic and fitted with an O-ring, are absolutely leak-proof and support the clear and functional look of the Alphacool Core Design series. By not screwing the connections directly into the acrylic, cracking and any resulting leakage is prevented. Alphacool's Core Distro Plate is made of high-quality acrylic, which allows a clear view of the coolant and provides brilliant illumination from the built-in, digitally addressable aRGB lighting.



The integrated VPP Apex pump relies on a smooth-running ceramic shaft. The coils of the motor have been moved from the inside to the outside. These changes successfully counteract the occurrence of vibrations, with the result that the pump operates stably as well as smoothly. A positive side effect is that power consumption has been almost halved compared to similar pumps on the market. The pump's entire speed range is controlled and read out via the 4-pin fan connector. The VPP Apex pump is equipped with a SATA connector for power supply.

With the help of the included Core Push Mounting Kit, the Distro Plate can be easily mounted on a radiator or on the case panel. This ensures stable positioning as well as easy disassembly for maintenance or expansion projects. The Core Distro Plate is now available as a 240 mm or 360 mm variant, each with left or right placement of the pump top in the Alphacool Online Shop.

I have no idea wtf I am looking at, but I like it
 
@Space Lynx
This is our new spaceship for the exploration of Titan Moon :D I'm glad you like it. Thanks.
 
I see...someone finally made a distro plate that uses radiator/fan mounts so that any case with a front or side 240mm/360mm radiator mount can use this.

It appears to be a distro plate for watercooling, which is an integrated reservoir/pump system. The holes allow you to connect all the components to the plate instead of to each other, so running the lines can be a bit neater. Also, it has RGB for the people who like that.
 
only problem: you have to donate a kidney to buy it
Were it from the two-lettered brand, you'd have to sell both kidneys and liver.

To replace your broken PC when it leaks, corrodes, or both?
 
Why are the first images mirrored. confusing.
They aren't. Alphacool made versions with the connectors both to the left and to the right.

Our abbreviation also has only two letters "AC". But we don't want your kidney. It would be a real mess if you sent it to us. Please don't do that. A referral is quite enough.
