Alphacool Unveils Next-Generation Water Cooling Solutions at CES 2026
At CES 2026, Alphacool showcased an impressive lineup of advanced water cooling products, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in PC and server cooling technology. The booth featured a diverse range of solutions designed for both enthusiasts and enterprise users, with a strong focus on performance, compatibility, and innovation.
Core GPU AIO: High-Performance Cooling for Modern Graphics Cards
A highlight of Alphacool’s display was the Core GPU AIO, part of the renowned Core series. This all-in-one GPU water cooling system is engineered for compatibility with a wide selection of AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, including the latest high-end models. The Core GPU AIO utilizes a robust cold plate and is powered by dual Core DC-LT 2 pumps, ensuring efficient heat dissipation. The inclusion of a 360 mm radiator provides substantial overclocking headroom, making it an ideal choice for demanding GPUs such as the RTX 5090. Alphacool plans to release the Core GPU AIO in the second quarter of 2026.
Single-Slot Water Blocks for NVIDIA RTX 6000 Pro "Blackwell"
Alphacool also introduced single-slot water blocks tailored for NVIDIA’s RTX 6000 Pro "Blackwell" GPUs. Available in both transparent acrylic and opaque finishes, these water blocks are designed for high-density workstation and AI deployments. The single-slot form factor enables users to stack multiple GPUs in a custom loop, optimizing space and cooling efficiency for professional environments.
Motherboard-Specific Monoblocks for Enhanced Cooling
Expanding its Apex line, Alphacool presented several motherboard-specific monoblocks that deliver comprehensive cooling for the CPU, VRMs, and the primary M.2 NVMe SSD. These monoblocks are engineered for popular motherboards such as the ASUS ProArt X870E Creator Wi-Fi (AM5 socket), ASUS ROG Strix X870-F Gaming Wi-Fi, and GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Elite Wi-Fi 7 (ICE). By replacing bulky heatsinks, these solutions offer efficient thermal management and a cleaner build aesthetic. The initial models are set for release in Q1 2026, with additional support for MSI motherboards expected in Q2 2026.
Next-Generation CPU AIO Watercoolers
Alphacool is further expanding its CPU-focused AIO watercooling lineup, integrating its top-tier components into user-friendly, high-performance solutions. The upcoming AIO watercoolers, available in sizes up to 360 mm, will be paired with Apex 120 mm fans for optimal cooling and quiet operation. These new models are scheduled for launch in Q2 2026.
Advanced Distribution Plates, Manifolds, and Server Cooling Solutions
Addressing both consumer and enterprise needs, Alphacool has developed a comprehensive range of distribution plates, manifolds, and reservoirs. For server environments, the company introduced a 4U rack-mounted unit equipped with radiators capable of dissipating up to 4 kW of heat. This standalone solution is designed for functionality and is expected to be available in Q3 2026.
For large-scale data centers, Alphacool unveiled a 42U manifold system primarily intended for coolant distribution. This system can be customized to fit specific requirements and features quick disconnect fittings for streamlined installation and maintenance.
On the consumer side, the Apex Manifolds feature clear acrylic construction and integrated aRGB lighting, allowing users to showcase their coolant color and enhance their PC’s visual appeal. Additionally, the new CoreDDCzero flat reservoirs incorporate the latest DDCzero pump technology and offer a minimalist design that blends seamlessly into modern PC cases. The CoreDDCzero reservoirs are slated for release in Q2 2026.
With these innovations, Alphacool continues to set new standards in water cooling, delivering solutions that cater to the evolving needs of gamers, creators, and enterprise users alike.
