Alphacool Unveils Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX for Radeon RX 6700 XT

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX for the reference design with backplate for AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics cards is a complete redevelopment of the previous Alphacool graphics card water coolers. No technical compromises were made, but the entire technical know-how flowed into the development and implementation. Style meets performance!

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. The design is new and special attention was paid to the lighting. The addressable digital RGB LEDs are embedded directly into the cooling block and run along the entire cooling block. The effect is an illumination of the entire cooling block. The aRGB LEDs used here give the cooler its very own visual touch.
Compatibility:
  • AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Reference
  • ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT, 12 GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP
  • GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6700 XT 12G, 12 GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP
  • MSI Radeon RX 6700 XT 12G, 12 GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP
  • PowerColor Radeon RX 6700 XT, 12 GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP
  • Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 6700 XT, 12 GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP
  • XFX Speedster MERC 319 Radeon RX 6700 XT Black Gaming, 12 GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP

Yep, and I was going to say "who is going to spend that much money and a X700 series card"....but then I realized this bastards go for 800 - 900 euro atm...

I mean, what are you expecting? A water block is a water block. There isn't much innovation to be had there. More blocks available is always better.

These are also pretty decently priced for what they are - €140 including a backplate, rather than the €220+ for an EK block+backplate these days. Still a lot for a $480 MSRP GPU, but ... it's decent. Waterblocks rapidly stop making sense below this price level, but the 6700 and RTX 3070 are still good candidates for water cooling.

Hey, I even water cooled my RX 580 :D

Ouch - which did you pay more for, the GPU or the waterblock? :P

I cheated a bit. I got a block, backplate, and spare 580 for $100. Not some cheap block either, a Heatkiller IV.

Heh, I got the EK block for my Fury X on clearance for the equivalent of $35 including VAT, so it happens, yeah :)

What a waste, whats the point in spending money to water cool low end to mid range hardware, keeping it cooler gives minor boost to performance when you could have just gotten a better chip, Watercooling really only makes sense with top tier hardware IMO

How, exactly, is a $479 MSRP GPU "low end to middle range hardware"?
