The Alphacool Apex series represents maximum cooling performance, outstanding design, and premium material selection for high-performance liquid cooling systems. The Alphacool Apex 1 is the first CPU water block in the Apex series, combining all its unique features in a durable CPU cooler.
For the AMD AM5 version of the Apex 1 cooler, Alphacool uses a raised cooler base that is not centered over the CPU. This design ensures that the water inlet is positioned precisely above the CPU’s hotspot, delivering optimal cooling performance. Alphacool builds on its proven cross-slot technology and introduces the 3D Jetplate 2.0, an evolution of the original 3D Jetplate. The improved Jetplate design creates higher water pressure. In addition, a pre-chamber before the 3D Jetplate 2.0 calms the incoming water and distributes it evenly across the Jetplate and the cooling fins beneath the cooler base.
The bottom of the Apex 1 cooler is made from a solid block of copper. The connection unit is made of brass, and both parts are precisely CNC-machined from their respective material blocks. The cooler is assembled with an aluminum cover that almost completely surrounds the unit. Subtle Apex design elements on the top surface allow the aRGB lighting to diffuse evenly. An additional lighting element on the right side of the cooler also emits a diffused glow toward the RAM slots.
The Apex 1 water block is specifically designed to cover both the CPU socket and the mounting holes, giving it a sleek, seamless appearance. Despite this sophisticated design, installation remains simple: the cooler is placed on top of the motherboard, while the backplate is secured underneath with screws.
