Alphacool Core Ocean T38 360 CPU AIO and Thermal Grizzly 1700 Contact Frame Bundle

This bundle includes the Core Ocean AIO and the Thermal Grizzly 1700 Contact Frame.

With the Core Ocean AiO, Alphacool presents an all-in-one solution that, thanks to the excellent price-performance ratio, enables entry into performance-oriented CPU water cooling. The difference to the Eisbaer CPU AiO is that the Ocean All-in One cannot be expanded. There are no plans to add additional components such as GPU coolers, radiators or expansion tanks. But not necessary! The choice of components and the structure of the Core Ocean enable a long service life with low maintenance for the water cooling of all common mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel.

Aluminum radiator
Compared to Alphacool's full copper models, the T38 aluminum radiator has additional cooling channels. This technical structure allows a significant increase in cooling capacity without restricting the water flow within the radiator. Due to the low overall height of 38mm, the radiator with one-sided fan assembly finds space in the narrowest housing and enables powerful water cooling of the CPU.

Core fan
The fan can be controlled from 0 to 2500 rpm via the 4-pin PWM connection. The cable is 40cm long. This allows you to connect the fan to the mainboard or a special controller without any additional adapter cables or extensions. At 2500 RPM it allows for an airflow of 62.8 CFM paired with a high static pressure of 2.13mm/H2O. This makes the fan perfect for mounting on radiators of a water cooling system.

cooler & pump
As with all Alphacool products, the cooler base is made of copper and is equipped with very fine cooling fins that are distributed over the entire base. A nozzle plate ensures accelerated flow over the cooling fins, which increases cooling performance. The water flow is optimized so that all areas of the radiator base are evenly cooled. The cooler is compatible with all common mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel. The built-in pump has a speed range of 2500 - 3500 RPM (+/- 10%) and can be controlled via PWM. The pump is connected to the mainboard or an external controller via the existing 4-pin fan connector. In this way, the speed range of the pump can be controlled and read out.

hoses & connectors
The FEP hoses are 40cm long, sleeved and very flexible. The rotatable 360° connections to the cooler and radiator are permanently installed and cannot be exchanged. However, the combination of hose and connection allows the AiO to be positioned very flexibly, even in the tightest of PC cases.

Lighting
12 digitally addressable 5V RGB LEDs are installed in the pump housing, which create a unique, very elegant lighting. The digital aRGB LED lighting is connected via a JST 3-pin connector. To control the lighting, the 3-pin female connector must be connected to a digital RGB controller (not included) or a digital RGB capable mainboard. Additional digital RGB LEDs can be connected to the remaining 3-pin male connector.

Thermal paste
The thermal paste included in the scope of delivery has a thermal conductivity of 7.5 W/mK. Thermal Grease does not harden, is well suited for high contact pressures and can be processed perfectly thanks to the optimally selected viscosity.

The Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame Intel 1700 LT is a mounting aid for Intel mainboards with the LGA1700 socket. The contact frame replaces the standard ILM of the mainboard and improves the cooling performance of the CPU cooler through optimized contact pressure. The "Lite" version of the frame is manufactured using injection molding.

The Thermal Grizzly CPU Contact Frame Intel 1700 LT is the "Lite" version of the Intel 13th/14th Gen CPU Contact Frame and is manufactured by injection molding. The material used is an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, which has a 15 percent glass fiber content for additional stability.

• Lower CPU temperatures
• Easy mounting
• Glass fiber reinforced ABS plastic

The standard Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) has contact points located in the centre of the elongated CPU. Due to the resulting uneven contact pressure of the processor into the socket, the surface of the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) curves concavely. As a result, the base plate of the CPU cooler rests primarily on the edges of the IHS, so that the thermal "hotspot" in the middle of the CPU is not optimally covered.

The CPU Contact Frame Intel 1700 LT has a special inner contour to shift the contact pressure from the centre of the CPU to the edges during assembly. This avoids the concave curvature of the IHS. This results in CPU coolers resting better on the processor and a larger contact surface to dissipate the CPU's waste heat.

The installation of the Contact Frame is very simple and takes only a few steps. Depending on the CPU cooler and the CPU used, the temperatures of the processor can be noticeably reduced.

The CPU Contact Frame Intel 1700 LT is compatible with 12th, 13th and 14th generation processors for socket LGA1700. In addition, the frame is only compatible with CPUs whose Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) has been ground down by no more than 0.2 millimetres. When mounting, make sure that there are no electronic components under the frame. This is especially important for mainboards with the Mini-ITX form factor.

Removing the mainboard's Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) may invalidate the mainboard manufacturer's warranty!
