Alphacool Unveils New Eisblock Full-coverage Blocks for Radeon RX 7900 Series
The new AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (X) GPU is here! And Alphacool offers its new Eisblock Aurora cooler, a new, innovative active water cooler for custom layouts of AMD Radeon graphics cards. With significant improvements over the previous Aurora generation, Alphacool now takes it a big step further. What's new. Going forward, Alphacool is now using chrome plating on the copper radiators for all graphics card coolers instead of nickel plating. This is significantly harder and more resistant than nickel plating. The addressable RGB LED lighting also shines better because the chrome plating is much smoother and distributes the light even more beautifully in the cooler.
To dissipate the enormous amount of waste heat, the water flow has been completely redesigned. The jetplate is embedded in the cooling fins and is pressed onto them by a completely redesigned inlet with an O-ring. This ensures that the water is reliably forced through the cooling fins. Optimization of the cooling fins leads to a further increase in performance. The cooling fins were reduced to 0.4 mm and the distance between the fins was minimized to 0.4 mm. This creates a larger cooling surface and reduces the flow resistance of the cooler. This results in a performance plus.
With board partners from AMD, the base of the previous Eisblock cooler has been almost completely redesigned. These major changes are clearly visible in the overall look of the cooler. Alphacool's new Aurora water cooler has been extensively tested on the new RX 7900 XT (X) graphics card generation and has gone through a long development phase to provide the best possible performance.
The Eisblock Aurora water cooler for ASRock AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX/XT Taichi/Phantom, Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX/XT Nitro and Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX/XT Toxic are available for pre-order now from the Alphacool Online Shop.

True.... i have the feeling i am old..... oh wait... i am old. :eek:
Btw... Reference Layouts are in work.
Also nice to see that you did not pull an EKWB and ask for 200€+ for the block :)
Really smooth, I like the holiday theme on the sides of the scrolling too, very unique!
Thanks...... but to be honest.... we are working on an new page. I hope we can release the new page in summer next year. This page is very very old. But the shop will stay like it is with only a few smaller technical updates and we will change the categories a bit so you can find some things easier than now.
Once prices stabilize I'm finally upgrading though. All water again, this time no window, I never look in unless its to check coolant level anyway.
im wondering if there is a waterblock thats shorter
until now, i have not seen any very short version. But since we don`t get all informations about every PCB from every brand......
Core cooler for the 7900 XTX Reference.... i "think and hope" that we will have it on stock end january or beginning february. Hard to say right now. We try our best.
Currently, we plan to offer a Core cooler for all 7900XTX models for which we also make an Aurora cooler. When which model will come, I can not say at the moment.
