Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3070 TUF/DUAL with Backplate (11958)

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 3070 TUF/DUAL with Backplate is a GPU water block for the ASUS TUF Gaming and ASUS Dual versions of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card. A 5.5 mm nickel-plated copper block sits under a clear top lit by digital RGB LEDs, and the backplate is in the box.

The block was built for one PCB layout, so check the exact card and its part number before ordering. Alphacool's GPU configurator is its graphics card configurator, and its list of compatibility for Nvidia graphic cards names the block for each card.

More performance

Alphacool's line on its aim during the development of this graphic card GPU block is "we wanted to further increase the performance". The first step was to move the cooler closer to the individual components, by reducing the thermal pads to a thickness of 1 mm. Next, it reduced the thickness of the nickel-plated copper block: instead of 7 mm, the block is now only 5.5 mm thick. The water flow inside the cooler has also been optimized. By Alphacool's account, all important components such as the voltage transformers (voltage converters) and the memory are now significantly better and more effectively cooled by the water. All this, it says, ensures a significant increase in cooling performance.

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 lighting connects through a 3-Pin JST plug and runs on 5V.

Notes

• Alphacool's note on application: please use the block only in conjunction with clear transparent water cooling fluids. Pastel liquids carry particles and additives that can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses. Alphacool adds that this can result in voiding the manufacturer's warranty as well.
