Alphacool has expanded its Apex liquid cooling lineup with two new distribution plates tailored for the Hyte Y70 and Y70 Touch Infinite cases. This release matters to builders who want to integrate custom cooling loops into these specific chassis without compromising the front panel aesthetics. The new components replace the standard front covers, allowing users to route coolant lines through the case front while maintaining a clean look.

New acrylic plates replace Hyte Y70 front covers for custom loops

The new distribution plates are crafted from high-quality acrylic glass, which Alphacool notes helps prevent stress cracks in the material. Each plate features integrated addressable RGB lighting to match system aesthetics. The company offers the plates in both black and white finishes to suit different build themes. These plates are designed to sit flush with the case frame, acting as the primary interface for the cooling loop.

Technical details include chrome-plated G1/4 brass fittings that utilize a two-part O-ring structure. This specific fitting design aims to distribute pressure evenly and protect the acrylic from damage during installation. The plates support D5, VPP, and DDC pump formats, providing flexibility for various custom loop configurations. Users can mount their pumps directly to the plate or use the new seal caps for unused ports.

A separate seal cap is available to safely cover unused VPP or D5 pump mounts on the distribution plate. This accessory ensures that open ports do not leak coolant and maintain the structural integrity of the acrylic. The distribution plates are priced at 319.98 EUR (around $365). The individual seal caps are available for 12.98 EUR (around $14.79).

These products join the existing Alphacool Apex ecosystem, offering specialized hardware for popular mid-tower cases. The release addresses a specific need for users of the Hyte Y70 series who prefer a front-mounted pump setup. Builders can now choose between the black and white plate options depending on their case color. The components are currently listed for sale in the EU market.
