The Alphacool Apex 1 CPU Cooler AM5 is a CPU water block for the AMD AM5 socket. Its offset base puts the water injection directly over the hotspot of an AM5 processor. The base is nickel-plated copper, the cover is aluminum, and the aRGB lighting shows on the top and on the right side. Properties: AMD sockets: AM5; Cold plate: Nickel-plated copper, 0.4 mm fins; Top: Aluminum cover, black with chrome accent; Ports: 2 x G1/4; Lighting: aRGB, ARGB adapter in the box; Size: 100.00 x 86.00 x 32.30 mm, 995 g Fit: Compatibility is one socket for this version, AMD AM5. The manual starts the AMD mounting by taking the two-piece retention frame off the board. After that the cooler is positioned on the top of the motherboard while the backplate is secured from underneath using screws. Four flag nuts and two spare distance bolts come with the block for this. Despite what it calls a sophisticated design, Alphacool says installation remains straightforward. Offset base and 3D Jetplate 2.0: For the AMD AM5 version of this CPU water cooler, Alphacool utilizes an offset cooler base that does not sit centrally on the CPU. Alphacool says the water injection, positioned directly over the CPU's hotspot in this way, is what ensures optimal cooling performance as the resulting effect. Inside, the block relies on the cross-slot technology that Alphacool calls proven. In the box: 1x Thermal Grease; 1x Putty tool; 1x Apex 1 AM5; 4x M2.5 Flag nut; 1x ARGB Adapter; 2x Spare Distance Bolt
