Alphacool ST30 Processor Liquid cooling kit 14 cm Black by Alphacool

With the Core Storm water cooling kit, Alphacool provides all the components needed to get started in the world of water cooling. The set is aimed not only at beginners, but also at enthusiasts. The selected components are optimally matched and come from Alphacool's DIY program. The choice of materials is still uncompromisingly based on copper or brass for all metals in order to guarantee performance-oriented CPU cooling. Due to the included quick-release fastener, additional components like radiators or GPU coolers can be integrated afterwards without having to drain or rebuild the water loop.

Eisblock XPX Aurora CPU Cooler
Alphacool's Eisblock XPX Aurora CPU water cooler offers the highest performance and impresses with its outstanding quality. The patented ramp system ensures optimal water flow within the cooler as water is forced evenly through the jet plate. 81 cooling fins are distributed on the CPU cooler base, occupying an area of 34 x 32mm and thus accommodating the ever-growing CPU DIEs. The Aurora design in combination with the 15 addressable digital aRGB LEDs provides many options for outstanding CPU water cooler illumination. The included mounting hardware makes the CPU cooler compatible with popular mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel.

Core 100 Aurora Reservoir & VPP Apex Pump
The Core reservoir combines performance with design. The reservoir tube is made of acrylic, while the D5/VPP pump top and lid are made of acetal. The combination of these two materials gives the expansion tank a subtle appearance. The wow effect is provided by 12 digitally addressable RGB LEDs in the pump top and the Lighttower water effect inside the acrylic tube. The Apex VPP is a powerful pump that is compatible with the most popular D5/VPP tops and reservoirs. The pump's speed can be read out via the 4-pin fan connector and controlled via PWM signal. The Apex VPP is supplied with power via a SATA connector.

NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 420mm Radiator V.2
All water-bearing parts and the cooling fins are made of pure copper. Thus, the NexXxoS ST30 achieves the highest thermal conductivity value of all radiators on the market and can easily dissipate extremely high waste heat. The radiator has two IN or OUT connections with G1/4" threads in the pre-chamber area. On the opposite side is a fill or vent port, which can be used to fill and drain the water loop.

Rise Aurora 140mm fans
The fans can be controlled from 0 to 2000 rpm via the 4-pin PWM connector. At 800 rpm, the fan is nearly silent, but still offers good airflow (154.1 m3/h) coupled with high static pressure (2.20 mm/H2O). In addition to a wide control range, the Rise fan also offers superior digital aRGB lighting. The frame and hub feature 24 digitally addressable 5V RGB LEDs that illuminate the entire fan.

AlphaTube HF 13/10mm tubing & HF G1/4" quick connect coupling
The clear 13/10mm hose made of PVC offers comfortable handling when routing and connecting water cooling components. It has good routing and kinking characteristics and allows uncomplicated bridging of tight bend radii. The HF quick-connect coupling included in the scope of delivery allows easy integration of further components at a later date without having to drain or rebuild the water loop.

Eiszapfen 13/10mm G1/4" Connections
All the requirements for a connection are met here: Highflow, shape, machining and coloring. Special manufacturing processes firmly bond the coating to the substrate. This increases the longevity of the color and prevents the coating from flaking off.

Thermal Paste & Coolant
The included thermal paste is Alphacool's Subzero with a thermal conductivity of 16 W/mk. The electrically non-conductive Thermal Grease is particularly well suited for high contact pressures, but can still be processed perfectly due to its viscosity of 850,000 TF. Tec Protect 2 Clear in the 1 liter bottle is used as the coolant. Tec Protect 2 Clear is a ready-to-use mixture that already contains all the necessary additives and can be used straight from the bottle.

aRGB Controller, Cables, Tools & Accessories
All cables (aRGB, PWM) and controllers needed to use & control the pump, fan and aRGB lighting are included. The accessory package also includes important tools like hose cutter, filling bottle and an ATX 24-pin jumper. Thus, the construction of the custom loop can be started "out-of-the-box" immediately.
