Installation
The installation is also surprisingly easy. At first, you may wonder how to connect all the tubes, but the manual explains everything in an easy way.
The distro plate installation is also easy, and due to fast-release plugs, you can remove it easily and correct its height without any problems.
Our example build contains a Ryzen 7950X processor, 32GB Kingston Renegade RGB DDR5-7200 RAM, ASUS Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard, Colorful RTX4080 Advanced graphics card, and a Hyte Y40 Premium PC case. Since no one designed a full-cover block for our graphics card, it’s not connected to the water loop.
The CPU is cooled by Alphacool XPX Aurora RGB Full-Brass series block, and additionally, there are Alphacool chromed tubes and fittings that, together with the CPU block, reflect all the RGB illumination. On top, there is an Alphacool 360/30mm radiator made of copper. All the best for optimal results.
The Distro Plate works great and is not restricting the water flow in any way. We had to wait for about 24h to get rid of all bubbles that stuck to the sides of the reservoir. Since photos were taken just after building the loop, some small bubbles are still visible in the photos.
The loop is prepared to easily add a graphics card once the card with a proper block is available. The Core Distro Plate makes management much easier and causes the PC looks clean and simply amazing.
The product itself makes you forget about typical reservoirs as it is more functional, easier to install, and more aesthetically appealing.
