Alphacool 24848 Eisblock AM4/AM5 CPU-vattenblock monteringsbackplate - svart stål

Motherboard flex and uneven mounting pressure are common culprits behind poor CPU temperatures and inconsistent thermal performance in custom water cooling loops. The Alphacool 24848 backplate addresses these issues directly by providing a rigid steel foundation behind the motherboard for Alphacool Eisblock XPX, XPX Pro, and Aurora CPU water blocks. Engineered for AMD AM4 and AM5 sockets, this backplate distributes clamping force evenly across the socket area, preventing board bending and ensuring optimal contact between the water block cold plate and the CPU integrated heat spreader.

Who is it for

This mounting accessory is intended for PC enthusiasts and system builders who use Alphacool Eisblock series CPU water blocks on AMD AM4 or AM5 platforms. It is essential for anyone seeking stable, repeatable mounting pressure, particularly in systems with heavy water blocks or those that are frequently transported. The backplate is also useful for users who have experienced motherboard warping or uneven thermal paste spread with stock mounting hardware.

Tips

Before installing, verify that your motherboard's socket backplate area is clear of any adhesive or obstructions. Use the correct length screws provided with your Alphacool water block to avoid damaging the motherboard. Tighten screws gradually in a cross pattern to achieve even pressure. This backplate is not compatible with Intel sockets or non-Alphacool water blocks.
