Alphacool Core XP3 CPU Water Block and Thermal Grizzly Intel 13th/14th Gen CPU Contact Frame Bundle, Acetal

This bundle includes the Alphacool Core XP3 Acetal light CPU Water Block and Thermal Grizzly INTEL LGA 1700 contact frame.

With the Alphacool Core XP3 Acetal light you get a very compact CPU water block for all current mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel. It offers the typical high Alphacool quality paired with excellent performance at a fantastic price.

High cooling capacity!
The cooling plate has been optimised to give the best performance for the price point. The nickel-plated copper radiator bottom has a surface area of 56 x 56 mm with a cross-slot structure and only 0.4 x 1 mm thick pins through which the water can flow. Due to the extremely large cooling surface, the water can effectively absorb the heat from the radiator bottom and remove it from the CPU area. The pin area is about 27.6 x 37.6 mm ensuring that most mainstream CPUs are covered completely which guarantees high cooling performance. The new multiple slotted nozzle plate was developed especially for this cooler to achieve a perfect interplay of water flow and inflow of the base plate. Only the combination of all these little things ensures the high performance.

Quick assembly!
The mounting bracket is simply put over the CPU cooler. All mounting screws can be pre-assembled onto this Then you can simply screw it down. A well-illustrated manual with large render graphics is included so that the installation is easy to understand.

Compatibility:
Intel: 1056 / 1155 / 1150 / 1151 / 1200 / 1700 / 2011 / 2011-3 / 2066
AMD: AM5 / AM4 / TR4 / sTRX4 / sWRX / SP3

The Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPU Contact Frame is a mounting aid that replaces the motherboard's original Integrated Loading Mechanism (ILM) to enable better cooling performance of CPU coolers through optimized contact pressure.

Due to the changed dimensions of the Intel Raptor Lake (Intel Core 13th and 14th Gen) for the Intel Socket LGA1700 compared to the Socket 1200 processors (and older generations, such as Socket LGA115X) as well as the associated changes to the dimensions of the socket, New mounting brackets for CPU coolers have become necessary.

Additionally, the standard ILM only has contact points in the middle of the elongated CPU. Due to the resulting uneven contact pressure of the processor into the socket, the surface of the Integrated Heatspreader (IHS) bulges concavely, which means that the base plate of the CPU cooler rests primarily on the edges of the IHS and thus the thermal "hotspot" in the middle of the CPU is not covered.
