The Alphacool Apex VPP is a powerful pump that is compatible with the most common D5/VPP tops and expansion tanks. The speed of the pump can be read out via the 4-pin fan connection and controlled via a PWM signal. The Apex VPP is supplied with power via the SATA connection.FeaturesAlphacool's Apex VPP does not have a spherical bearing and uses a ceramic axis. The motor coils have been moved from the inside to the outside. The changes mean that the pump is fundamentally more stable and runs more smoothly and vibrations have been significantly reduced. Another positive side effect is that power consumption has been almost halved.Power supplyIn comparison to Alphacool's ice pumps, the power supply is not via a 4-pin Molex connection. Instead, the Apex VPP pump is connected to the power supply using a SATA connection.ControlThe Apex VPP pump has a 4-pin fan connection that is connected to the mainboard or an external controller. This allows the speed range of the pump to be controlled and read out via PWM.CompatibilityThe Apex VPP pump is compatible with the most common D5/VPP pump tops and expansion tanks.
