At CES 2026, the Alphacool booth was brimming with a wide array of water cooling products. Among their staple offerings was the Core GPU AIO, part of Alphacool's Core series, providing a comprehensive cooling solution for various GPU models, including those from AMD and NVIDIA. This system is built around the Core GPU cold plate and features two Core DC-LT 2 pumps. A 360 mm radiator is included, enabling significant overclocking potential even for high-performance cards like the RTX 5090. It is planned for Q2 release of ths year. In addition to this, Alphacool showcased single-slot water blocks for NVIDIA's RTX 6000 Pro "Blackwell" GPU. These are available with either a transparent acrylic finish or a sleek opaque design. The single-slot configuration allows for multiple GPUs to be stacked together in a custom loop, making them ideal for dense AI workstation deployments.

The Alphacool International GmbH, based in Braunschweig, Germany, is a pioneer in PC water cooling technology. With one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the industry and over 20 years of experience, Alphacool is now expanding its enterprise solutions lineup with the ES Manifold 42U Single. The Alphacool ES 42U Manifold was specifically developed for use in data centers and enables efficient and scalable distribution of coolant across numerous systems. With its robust stainless steel construction, it offers maximum reliability and durability in continuous operation.

Special attention has been given to the choice of material: Manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel alloy, the manifold provides excellent corrosion resistance and high stability even under demanding conditions. The alloy consists of approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, making it resistant to rust and many chemicals. This combination of robustness, versatility, and longevity makes the ES 42U Manifold especially reliable for continuous use in professional IT environments.

Alphacool International GmbH, based in Braunschweig, has been a pioneer in PC water cooling technology for over 20 years. With one of the most comprehensive product portfolios in the industry and over two decades of experience, Alphacool is now expanding its portfolio with the new barbed fittings and quick disconnect couplings (QDCs) designed for TPV tubing.

The new components are engineered to meet the high demands of enterprise and server environments. With robust construction, easy handling, and compatibility with TPV tubing, these fittings ensure secure and efficient operation even under continuous load. The straight and angled barbed fittings offer flexible routing options, while the QDCs allow for tool-free disconnection and reconnection of water loops, simplifying maintenance and system upgrades.

After the great reception of the EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X6 in the market, EK, the premium water-cooling gear manufacturer, is launching another pump-reservoir-manifold combo unit, the EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X3 D5 - Acetal. Just like its predecessor, the X6, the latest product also has a dedicated fill port, drain port with an optional QDC, and a small window for visually monitoring the coolant level.

EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X3 D5 - Acetal
This is a custom water-cooling reservoir, routing, and pump solution. It can act as a regular pump-reservoir combo, be used as a manifold, or practically as a distribution plate, even though its aesthetics vastly differ from most distro plates. The X3 in the name designates the number of components it can directly connect as a manifold, and D5 indicates a single D5 pump pushing the liquid around the loop. It can be mounted to the case in many different ways. EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X3 D5 has M4 screw threads on the side opposite the ports and on the backside, allowing for plenty of mounting options, multiplied by the bracket with 120 mm fan mounting hole spacing (105 mm). Eight (8) G1/4" ports are available, of which two (2) act as dedicated fill and drain ports.

EK, the premium water-cooling gear manufacturer, is launching a new pump-reservoir combo unit with a plethora of G1/4" ports, allowing it to also act as a manifold. EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X6 D5 - Acetal has enough ports to work with a total of six water-cooling components, for example, two CPUs, two GPUs, and two radiators. It also has a dedicated fill port, a drain port with an optional QDC, and a small window for visually monitoring the coolant level.

A staggering 14 G1/4" ports are available, of which two act as dedicated fill and drain ports.

EK, the renowned manufacturer of premium PC water cooling equipment, introduces yet another addition to its Pro lineup: the EK-Pro Manifold 2CPU 8GPU - Acetal, a specialized coolant delivery system designed for use with a great multitude of water blocks in workstations and servers. Like the previous EK-Pro Manifold 2CPU 6GPU - Acetal, this manifold has all the perks of its smaller brother with compatibility for an extra two GPUs.

Efficient Cooling Distribution
The EK-Pro Manifold 2CPU 8GPU - Acetal redefines cooling precision with its impeccable coolant distribution. Featuring multiple industry-standard G1/4" In and Out ports, it guarantees optimal coolant flow, ensuring flawless cooling for both CPUs and GPUs. With the capacity to accommodate two CPUs and impressive eight-GPU configurations in parallel or semi-parallel, this high-performance manifold opens new horizons for liquid cooling in workstation and server environments.
