The Alphacool Core Ocean T38 is a compact all-in-one liquid CPU cooler designed for users looking for efficient cooling without the complexity of custom loops. It features a 280mm aluminum radiator that provides strong thermal performance while maintaining a relatively low profile. The cooler is compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets, making it a versatile option for a wide range of desktop builds. Its design focuses on simplicity and reliability, ensuring minimal maintenance over time.
The T38 uses a copper base with fine cooling fins to maximize heat transfer from the CPU. A nozzle plate helps direct coolant flow efficiently across the fins, enhancing cooling performance. The pump is equipped with 12 digitally addressable RGB LEDs that offer customizable lighting effects. These LEDs connect via a JST 3-pin connector, allowing integration with compatible RGB control systems. The FEP hoses are flexible and durable, with a length of 40cm to accommodate most motherboard layouts.
The cooler is built for mainstream use cases, such as gaming or content creation, where consistent thermal management is important. It does not support expansion with additional radiators or GPU coolers, but this limitation is offset by its reliable performance and ease of installation. The 360-degree rotatable connections are fixed and cannot be replaced, which simplifies setup but limits customization options. The design prioritizes stability and long-term use over modular flexibility.
The Core Ocean T38 includes everything needed for immediate installation, with no extra components required. It is ideal for users who want a straightforward cooling solution without the need for advanced modifications. However, those seeking maximum cooling capacity or expandability may need to consider other models in Alphacool's lineup.
