Alphacool Eisblock GPX Aurora RTX 3080/3090 Reference

[VSG]

Alphacool has two very different blocks for the RTX 3080/3090 reference PCB to cater to different tastes. This article goes over the GPX Aurora, a plexi-top block with integrated RGB lighting that includes a backplate and uses a unique coolant layout for a good price.

Just an FYI, they're not called "hex screws", they're called "flat sockethead cap screws" that is the ISO designation and what you would search for if you wanted those screws... If you searched for "hex screws", you'd most likely get "hex head cap screws" which are very different

A bit late, but thanks for the review.
Question: When testing waterblocks, Do you use the thermal paste/grease and thermal pads that comes with the package?
Unfortunately I did not see information of the W/mK of them. I know that Alphacool has high-quality thermal pastes/pads, but I don't know if they are the ones they incorporated into the packaging, so I am wondering if I can improve the block performance by changing those components.
