PRESS RELEASE
Braunschweig, 18 December 2018 – Alphacool, the specialist in PC water cooling, introduces its new Eisdecken series of caps for various pump models. These caps are available in several different materials and the plexiglass versions are even available with addressable RGB lighting. The Eisdecken caps feature patented screw plugs and extremely flexible installation options, giving system integrators and modders a modern look for their water-cooled PCs as well as enabling more customization options.
Available in different materials
The new pump caps are available in two different versions: the Messing-models feature a housing that’s completely made of a brass copper alloy and that has a very high material thickness, which almost completely prevents pump noise and vibration. These are ideal when building a silent system. In addition, the metal ensures a longer lifespan of the pumps, as optimal heat dissipation is guaranteed.
The Plexi-models are made of sturdy, transparent plexiglass. Combined with a pre-assembled RGB LED lighting strip, these caps have a very modern look. The light strip is easy to remove so it can be replaced in case of a defect. It is possible to connect the LED strip to a compatible motherboard port to synchronize the RGB lighting of the entire system.
For D5 and DDC pumps, both Messing and Plexi models are available in single and dual variants. For DC-LT pumps the only available option is the dual Plexi variant with RGB.
Flexible assembly options with decoupling
In the box of the cap you’ll always find a bracket to connect the pump-cap-combinations under different angles. That means components don’t have to assembled at regular 90-degree angles but could also be assembled at (for example) 45-degree angles. Add to that numerous screw and oblong holes and the result is an unprecedented flexibility during installation, allowing the construction of unique and customized liquid cooled systems.
Novel, patented screw plugs included
Also included in the Eisdecken packaging are decoupling parts to prevent unwanted pump vibrations to be transferred to the case. Also included are new patent-pending screw plugs, which now sit flush with the caps and close unused G-1/4-inch threads. Alphacool is currently the only company on the market able to offer such a clean look.
Extensive pump compatibility
The Alphacool Eisdecken caps are compatible with the following pump models: Alphacool D5 (VPP655, VPP755, and all standard D5 Laing pumps), Alphacool DDC (DDC310 and all standard DDC Laing pumps) as well as the Alphacool DC-LT.
