Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Geforce RTX 4080 GameRock - Phantom with Backplate (13554)

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock - Phantom with Backplate is a GPU water block for the Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock and the Gainward GeForce RTX 4080 Phantom, both Nvidia graphics cards. Alphacool also lists the GameRock OC, the GameRock OmniBlack and the Phantom GS for it. It cools the card with a chrome-plated copper block under an acrylic top, and the black aluminum backplate is in the box.

The block was designed for one PCB layout, and card makers sometimes revise a board 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.

Technical highlights

Alphacool calls this the next generation of its Eisblock Aurora water cooler for GeForce RTX 4XXX graphics cards. It says numerous optimizations have been made compared to the previous model, in order to dissipate the enormous heat of this graphics card generation in the best possible way. The fin structure was developed together with Nvidia board partners and adapted for a larger cooling surface. The fin thickness is 0.4 mm and the distance between the cooling fins is 0.4 mm, which Alphacool says enables a very good water flow while increasing that surface. The modified jet plate has a revised inlay and an improved inflow engine. Alphacool says the inlay spreads the water pressure better over the fins, thus optimizing the heat absorption, and ensures an optimal distribution of the water on them. The water inflow was adjusted as well, which gives the water a better angle as it enters.
