Alphacool Core 2 XT, the AiOs that can also be repaired

The limitation of traditional AiOs is well-known: when something stops working, often the only solution is to replace the entire system. Alphacool tries to change this approach with the new Core 2 XT series, designed with a structure that allows intervention on the circuit even after installation.

The heart of the system is a water block derived from Core 1 technology, housing the new Core DC-LT 3 PWM pump. This pump reaches 3,800 revolutions per minute and is integrated directly into the CPU block. The circuit uses TPV tubes and NexXxoS HPE radiators made entirely of copper.

An AiO designed to last

The range includes 4x versions with 240, 280, 360, and 420 mm radiators. Alphacool pairs each configuration with its own Apex Stealth fans featuring a metallic structure and aRGB lighting. However, the key feature remains the possibility of maintenance.

The Core 2 XT incorporates several elements from separately assembled liquid cooling systems, allowing users to intervene on the circuit when necessary instead of considering the AiO as a product to be replaced at the first sign of failure. The result aims to combine the practicality of typical AiO installation with a philosophy closer to custom liquid cooling.
