The Alphacool Apex series represents maximum cooling performance, exceptional design, and premium material selection for high-end custom water cooling systems. The Alphacool Apex 1 is the first CPU water block in the Apex series and combines all its unique features in a robust CPU cooler.
For the AMD AM5 version of the Apex 1 CPU cooler, Alphacool utilizes an offset cooler base that does not sit centrally on the CPU. This design ensures that the water injection is positioned directly over the CPU's hotspot, resulting in optimal cooling performance. Alphacool relies on its proven cross-slot technology and introduces the 3D Jetplate 2.0, an evolution of the original 3D Jetplate. The improved design of the Jetplate creates higher water pressure. Additionally, a pre-chamber located before the 3D Jetplate 2.0 calms the incoming water and evenly distributes it across the Jetplate and the cooling fins beneath the cooler base.
The lower part of the Apex 1 CPU cooler is crafted from a solid block of copper. The connection section is made from brass, and both components are precisely CNC-machined from their respective material blocks. The cooler is assembled with an aluminum cover that nearly encloses the entire unit. Fine Apex design elements on the top surface allow the uniform illumination of the aRGB lighting to shine through. Moreover, an additional lighting element on the right side of the cooler emits a diffused glow towards the RAM slots.
The Apex 1's cooling block is specifically designed to cover both the CPU socket and the mounting holes, giving it a sleek and seamless appearance. Despite this sophisticated design, installation remains straightforward: the cooler is positioned on the top of the motherboard while the backplate is secured from underneath using screws.

This was my first time ordering from Canada Watercool and I was not disappointed. The block arrived quickly and was packaged well. When I opened the box and took out the block I was surprised how heavy it was. Way heavier than I anticipated, and so far the heaviest CPU block I have built with. I have a couple Threadrippers with Heatkiller CPU blocks and those are about half the weight of this one. Anyway I am a technical 3D animator so when I'm rendering out a job I need as much cooling as I can get. When rendering, the CPU(s) will be pinned at 100% usage from a couple days to a few weeks at a time. No surprise to me that this block held up well to the first couple jobs on my AMD 9950X3D, the animation had the CPU pinned at 100% for 4 days straight, and the temps never got higher than 60C to 65C with a 60mm thick 420mm rad running in push pull with 6 140mm fans. All in all I really like this block and would happily recommend it to anyone that is looking for a solid performance block. Ill post a photo or two in the future...
