NEW: Apex 1 CPU Cooler

[jannes72]

Alphacool presents the Apex 1, the first CPU water cooler in the Apex series. It combines maximum cooling performance, exceptional design, and a high-quality selection of materials.

The Apex 1 integrates the proven cross-slot technology with the new 3D-Jetplate 2.0, ensuring optimal cooling performance for both AMD and Intel processors of the latest generation. A pre-chamber in front of the 3D-Jetplate 2.0 smooths the incoming water flow and evenly distributes it across the Jetplate and the copper base's cooling fins. Both the copper base and the brass connector part are precisely CNC-machined to guarantee top-notch manufacturing quality.

Alphacool offers two versions of the cooler. The AMD AM5 version features an offset cooler base, which does not sit centrally on the CPU. Instead, it is positioned to direct the water injection right above the CPU hotspot. The Intel version has a centrally positioned cooler base that covers the entire CPU. Both versions ensure outstanding cooling performance.

The cooler’s design is made to fully cover the CPU socket and mounting holes. This does not affect the installation, which remains incredibly simple. Additionally, the coolers come equipped with aRGB lighting, positioned both on the top and on the side towards the RAM, perfectly complementing the design.

The Alphacool Apex 1 is now available in the AM5 and LGA 1700/1851 versions at the Alphacool online shop.

Features:

• New improved Jetplate
• Optimized hotspot cooling
• Quick and easy installation
• Beautiful aRGB lighting

I’m really looking forward to testing the new Apex 1 AM5 cooler! I think the design looks fantastic, and I can’t wait to see how it performs.

I ordered the AM5 version even before the newsletter was sent out this morning, but I noticed that it was already listed as having a 2–3 week lead time. Was there any actual stock available for the AM5 version at launch? I found it interesting that the Intel variant in comparison is shown as having >25 units in stock.

Scoured the internet for an AM5 block, and guess what? No stock anywhere. Meanwhile, Intel blocks are sitting there like that one guy nobody invites to the party but still shows up. Seriously, why waste sand and oxygen making Intel blocks? They’re so irrelevant now, even archaeologists won’t dig them up in the future.
