AlphaCool Intros Active Backplates for RTX 3080 Series and RTX 3090 Series
Alphacool today announces the first active backplate for GeForce RTX 3080/3090 graphics cards from Alphacool. The Eisblock Aurora GPX-N Acrylic Active Backplate is the perfect upgrade for Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora Acrylic/Acetal GPX-N GPU custom water coolers as well as Alphacool's Eiswolf 2 GPU All-in-One solutions. With the help of the backplate, the graphics memory on the back of GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards can now also be actively water-cooled. With the help of 7 W/mk thermal pads, the active backplate has direct contact with the graphics memory to be cooled and can cool it more efficiently. This results in a significant increase in cooling performance.
Like all products from Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora GPX acrylic product line, the active backplate also features brilliant illumination. Six addressable digital RGB LEDs are embedded directly within the cooler. The effect is an illumination that encompasses the entire cooling block and creates unique lighting effects. The digital aRGB LED lighting is connected via a JST 3-pin connector and can be controlled with a digital RGB controller or a digital RGB-capable mainboard.

8 Comments on AlphaCool Intros Active Backplates for RTX 3080 Series and RTX 3090 Series
SO a passive 12GB of 100's watts just sitting on the back is a fire hazard to begin with.
I have Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acetal GPX-N on a reference 3080, GPU is usually around 40 degrees, VRAM under 60, junction temperature under 70, so I don't think I'd gain anything except less flow due to added block and fittings.
