During the development of the Eisblock Aurora RADEON RX 6800/6900/XT graphic card GPU block, 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, we reduced the thickness of the nickel-plated copper block. Instead of 7 mm, it is now only 5.5 mm thick. The water flow inside the cooler has also been optimized. All important components such as the voltage transformers and the memory are now significantly better and more effectively cooled by the water. All this ensures a significant increase in cooling performance.

Alphacool presents a new Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N cooler for the RTX 3070 Founders Edition graphics cards. The block offers outstanding cooling performance thanks to the full cover design. The new backplate, which is included with the coolers, also contributes to this. This stabilizes the graphics card and ensures an even contact pressure of the cooler. The cold plates are made of solid nickel-plated copper. The coolers cover all relevant components such as voltage converters and the graphics memory.

The new quick release couplings come as a set, consisting of the male and female part. They expand the already vast range of high-end Eiszpafen series. Due to the external thread, the quick release couplings can now be easily and directly screwed to radiators, coolers or reservoirs. The G1/4" thread makes them compatible with all common water cooling products. The connectors are made of pure brass and are very easy to connect and disconnect. With a diameter of only 24 mm, they are also extremely compact. With a total weight of only 95 g, they are also among the lightest brass quick release fittings on the market.

For all Alphacool Eisblock GPX Aurora graphics card waterblocks there is now a terminal which will allow horizontal mounting of fittings. This allows you to build your system exactly how you want to and connect the components together. The terminal is made of acetal and offers enough space between the fittings for fittings with a diameter of up to 28 mm. The terminal also fits perfectly with the design of Alphacool Eisblock Aurora coolers to always create the best overall look.

Alphacool announces ES 80 mm 800-6.000rpm Fan ( 80 mm x 80 mm x 25 mm) - Two Ball Bearing - PWM fan, and SL-15 PWM Fan 600-1800rpm (120 mm 120 mm x 15 mm). The Alphacool ES fans have been specially developed for use in servers and workstations and, unlike usual, do not offer a 2 or 3-pin DC power connection, but a 4-pin PWM control. Unlike classic plain bearing, Alphacool ES fans use a double ball bearing for increased service life under full load. All Alphacool Enterprise fans have multiple protection circuits.

The Alphacool 120 mm SL-15 fan is a special slim fan for use on radiators. With a frame height of only 15 mm, it is particularly suitable for use in ultra-compact housings, also known as SFF housings. Alphacool refrains from using a cheap sleeve bearing and relies directly on a high-quality and durable ball bearing.

Today, Alphacool presents its latest RTX 3080 GPU cooling block for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition to pre-order. Delivery is expected to start at the end of October. This cooler covers all the necessary components that require cooling. This includes the voltage converters, graphics memory and of course the GPU. All known hotspots of the graphics cards are completely cooled with water. Alphacool includes special 1 mm thick Ultra Soft thermal pads with this GPU cooler. As the name suggests, these are very soft and nestle perfectly to the components to be cooled. When the thermal pads heat up, the consistency and behavior is more like a thermal paste than a thermal pad. This of course has a positive effect on heat dissipation and is thermally far superior to standard thermal pads.

Alphacool presents a new tubing. A wide range of different variants of the new AlphaTube HF tubing are now available: Colored or clear, with or without UV reactivity, the choice is yours! This makes it easy to find the tubing that best suits your taste. The AlphaTube HF tubing has perfect flexibility for easy routing. It is flexible enough to be routed without effort, but at the same time, rigid enough that it does not kink, even with tighter bending radii.

Further variations of the AlphaTube HF tubing will be available in the next few weeks.

Alphacool presents the Eisblock ES Acetal GPX-N RTX 3080/3090 GPU watercooling block The block is specially developed for the server sector. Nevertheless, it also fits into normal desktop computers or small form factor cases. Of course, it is also available to our end customers. A special feature of this block is the terminal with the G1/4" ports is located at the rear end of the cooler. This arrangement saves space and makes it much easier to lay and connect the tubing, especially in server cases.

Alphacool naturally only uses copper in its water coolers. In the Eisblock ES Acetal GPX-N RTX 3080/3090 the copper is nickel-plated. Compared to the previous models, Alphacool has improved the type of nickel plating again, which significantly increased the acid resistance.

Alphacool have recently released the creatively named "Alphacool Leak Testing Tool", for detecting leaks in your PC water cooling loop. The device includes an integrated hand pump to pressurize the system and a 40 cm flexible hose which can be attached to any free G1/4" port in the loop. The device can help identify leaks in the loop caused by bad connections or fittings before you fill the loop ensuring no damage to the computer. Alphacool recommends you leave the device 15 - 20 minutes after pressurizing the system to record if the pressure has dropped indicating a leak in the system. The Alphacool Leak Testing Tool is now available from Alphacool for €29.19.

Alphacool revealed that it is ready with a lineup of full-coverage water blocks and all-in-one CLCs for the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series "Ampere" graphics cards. These include the new Eisblock Aurora line of full-coverage blocks that combine a nickel-plated copper primary material with an acrylic top that can be with ARGB LEDs; and the Eiswolf 2 GPU all-in-one closed-loop cooler. Alphacool says its will release variants of its products for all the RTX 30 Series SKUs announced so far, including the flagship RTX 3090, the RTX 3080, and the RTX 3070. The company didn't reveal detailed specs, pricing, or availability information.

The Eisbaer LT 92 is the little sister of the classic Eisbaer LT. It is without quick release fasteners and is delivered with only 25 cm long hoses. This ensures it fits perfectly into SFF cases. SFF stands for "Small Form Factor" and describes extremely compact housings. Despite its small dimensions, the 92 mm copper radiator offers enough cooling power for powerful processors. Alphacool uses hoses and fittings from the Enterprise Solution series for the Eisbaer LT 92. The TPV hoses are particularly robust and do not kink as easily as the usual PVC hoses. Bend protection is therefore not necessary. The Eisbaer LT 92 is compatible to all mainstream sockets, the appropriate mounting material for various Intel and AMD sockets is included, also a set of fan screws for 25 mm fans. Fans are not included with this unit and must be purchased separately. The Eisbaer LT 92 costs €73.09 (inc. VAT) from the Alphacool web shop.

Alphacool on its Facebook page announced that the company is ready with full-coverage water blocks for NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 3000 "Ampere" series graphics cards, and is waiting for product launch by NVIDIA, so it could start shipping its blocks. The block is designed for NVIDIA's quirky new polygonal PCB with a triangular tail-end, designed to go with its unique new cooling solution that has fans on both sides of the card. Alphacool mentioned that it's on the look out for custom-design PCBs by NVIDIA's add-in card (AIC) vendors, so it could design full-coverage blocks for them, too.

Alphacool is expanding its portfolio with the new 14 mm Eiszapfen HardTube connectors. As with all Eiszapfen connections, the paint on these Eiszapfen is applied with a special chromate coating, making them particularly scratch-resistant. For sealing Alphacool uses three O-rings for this connection, which also ensure a high tensile strength. The connections are compatible to all HardTubes with an outer diameter of 14 mm. The connections are available in the colours black and chrome. In addition to the individually available connections, there are also sets of 6 connections. The connectors have a total height of 22.2 mm with a thread length of 5 mm and a diameter of 22 mm which is very compact.

Alphacool presents the HDX Pro Air cooler for M.2 2280 SSDs. M.2 SSDs are enjoying increasing popularity. The extremely fast read and write processes ensure a noticeably faster working performance than normal mechanical hard drives and even standard SSDs can offer. However, the controller chip quickly becomes very warm and after about 60 seconds of continuous load, many M.2 SSDs start to overheat, which leads to a massive performance drop. This is prevented with the Alphacool HDX Pro Air M.2 SSD cooler. The solid aluminium cooler fits on single- and double-sided M.2 SSDs. Despite the larger heat sink, the cooler fits on M.2 slots underneath a graphics card without colliding with them.

Now available, the new Alphacool Aurora Eisfluegel high flow flow sensor. The small compact flow sensor is equipped with 8 addressable digital RGB LEDs for optimal illumination. The speed of the Eisfluegel flow sensor is read out via a normal 3 or 4-pin fan connector. With the help of monitoring software can determine the exact flow rate. With the Eisfluegel Aurora flow sensor a flow rate between 70 and 300 L/h can be determined. The Eisfluegel Aurora can either be mounted with M3 screws or mounted at any position in the case with the included Velcro mat. Alternatively, Eisfluegel is so light that it can be mounted freely suspended between two hoses or HardTubes.

Alphacool today joins EKWB and XSPC (and Dazmode, before) in launching ultra thin sub-30 mm thick radiators for PC watercooling. Labeled the NexXxoS ST25, these are 25.5 mm thick and are the same radiators as those used in their Eisbaer LT CPU AIO coolers. These radiators are compatible with copper/brass/nickel loops, with copper fins and coolant channels, a steel housing, and brass threads on the two BSP G1/4" ports aboard the radiator. The core uses 15 FPI fins, which we speculate are the same fin geometry as with their other NexXxoS radiators with a louvered surface and ~25-30 µm in thickness. The NexXxoS ST25 is only available in 120 mm sizes for now, with prices ranging from 31.99€ for the ST25 120, to 39.47€ for the ST25 240, and 58.49€ for the ST25 360, with all prices inclusive of VAT.

[Editor's note: Our detailed review can be seen here. Alphacool also tells us that the Eiswolf 2 goes on sale from July 30.]

Alphacool presents the first full cover AIO water cooler for graphics cards. The Eiswolf 2 GPU AIO combines the advantage of a DIY water cooling with the simplicity of an expandable all-in-one water cooling. Key Features:- Alphacool Eisblock Aurora GPX DIY graphics card cooler. The core elements of every All-In-On are the cooler, the radiator and of course the pump. The new DC-LT 2 pump has been equipped with new control electronics compared to the previous model and is, among other things, much quieter in operation than its predecessor.

The radiator is a NexXxoS ST30 240 mm copper radiator, one of the most popular DIY radiators on the market. The Alphacool Aurora Lux Pro 120 mm fans are used as fans. They have comprehensive 5 V digital RGB lighting. These LEDs are also used in the graphics card cooler. The GPU block is a real Eisblock Aurora that Alphacool offers for DIY custom loops. The only difference is that the terminal has been replaced by the discreet pump unit. This means that Alphacool can offer all custom graphics card models that also receive a normal DIY water cooler as Eiswolf 2 coolers also. This means that you get an AIO unit that has no disadvantages in cooling performance compared to DIY water coolers.
