Compatibility

Alphacool lists these cards for this block:

• Asus ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 OC Edition

The block was built for one PCB layout, and a card maker can revise a board slightly so that the cooler does not fit later models. Before you order, compare your card and its PCB number with the pictures in Alphacool's GPU configurator, or find it in the Compatibility List for Nvidia cards.

What the loop needs

The block has four G1/4 threads. Two of these connections take the compression fittings for your tube size, which are not in the box, and the other two take the two plugs that are. The lighting runs at a voltage of 5V and connects through a 3-Pin JST plug, and an ARGB adapter is included. Thermal pads, thermal grease, a putty tool, a plug tool and a screwdriver complete the box. The manual rates the thermal pads at hardness level Shore-00 35.

Notes

• Alphacool asks that only clear, transparent water cooling fluids go through the block. The particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog a radiator, pump, cooler or hose and damage it permanently, and that can void the manufacturer's warranty.
• The manual has you take the original cooler off on an antistatic mat and clean thermal paste and pad residues from the card first.
• Per the manual, the card's original IO shield goes back on with the backplate.
