Compact Nickel Waterblock

The Alphacool MCX One Nickel Edition is a miniature copper waterblock with a chrome finish. It targets custom-loop builders who need to cool small, high-heat components such as graphics-card memory or voltage-regulator modules. The compact design fits tight spaces where larger blocks cannot be installed.

Upgrade From Air Or Passive Heatsinks

This block replaces stock air coolers or adhesive heatsinks on RAM and VRM areas, delivering direct liquid cooling to those hotspots. The jump is worthwhile when component temperatures throttle performance or when a full-cover GPU block leaves these zones exposed. Reusable mounting hardware protects the investment across future graphics-card changes.

Verify Clearance And Fitting Compatibility

Measure the available height around the target chips to ensure the low-profile block clears neighbouring components. Confirm that your loop uses G1/4 threads or includes suitable adapters for the block's ports. Check that the mounting method matches the PCB layout of the specific graphics card or motherboard you intend to cool.

Questions about this item

What mounting hardware does the MCX One Nickel Edition include for RAM or VRM blocks?

The block is designed for easy mounting on graphics-card RAM modules or VRM modules, but the supplied hardware list is not detailed in the product data.

How do I install the MCX One Nickel Edition into a custom loop?

Connect the block using standard G1/4 fittings and tubing, then secure it to the target components with the included mounting hardware; the most common mistake is forgetting thermal pads between the block and memory or VRM chips.

Can the MCX One Nickel Edition be reused when I upgrade my graphics card?

Yes, the manufacturer states the MCX components can be used again when purchasing a new graphics card, making the block a long-term investment.
