Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3070 Founders Edition with Backplate (11946)

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3070 Founders Edition with Backplate is a GPU water block for the NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 Founders Edition graphics card. Alphacool also lists the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition for it. It cools the card with a chrome-plated copper block under an acrylic (Plexi) top, and the black aluminum backplate is in the box.

Properties

• Fits: GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition
• Cold plate: Chrome-plated copper, 5.5 mm
• Top: Acrylic
• Ports: 4 x G1/4
• Backplate: Aluminum, black, included
• Lighting: Digital RGB LEDs, 5V

Compatibility

Alphacool lists these cards for this block:

• Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition, 8GB GDDR6 (900-1G142-2520-000)
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition, 8GB GDDR6 (900-1G142-2510-000)
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition, 8GB GDDR6X (900-1G143-2515-000)

The block was designed for one PCB layout, and graphics card manufacturers occasionally revise a card so that a cooler no longer fits later models. Before ordering, compare your card and its PCB number with the pictures in Alphacool's GPU configurator, or look it up in its Compatibility List for Nvidia cards.

What the loop needs

The block has four G1/4 threads. Two take the compression fittings for your tube size, which are not in the box. The other two are closed with the two screw plugs (the stop fittings) that are, using the enclosed plug tool. To control the lighting, the included digital-RGB adapter joins the 3-Pin JST plug of the block to a digital RGB controller such as the Aurora Eiscontrol, which is not included. More digital RGB LEDs can be chained to the remaining 3-pin connector of the adapter. Thermal pads in 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm, thermal grease and the screws and washers for the card and the backplate also come with the block.

Notes

• Alphacool asks that the block be used only with clear transparent water cooling fluids. It warns that the particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses, and that this can void the manufacturer's warranty.
• Remove the original cooler on an antistatic mat, taking extreme care if it is held with thermal glue. Clean the card of thermal paste and pad residues with a solvent such as isopropanol alcohol before fitting the block.
