Alphacool Introduces RX5700 Aurora Waterblock, Aurora Plexi X4 DRAM Water Cooler

[Raevenlord]

Alphacool today introduced two new products to their Aurora lineup. The first is a waterblock that has been especially designed for the RX5700 graphics card. The waterblock features a nickel-plated base and a Radeon RX illuminated logo. It has been designed with a thinner 1 mm heat conduction pads for better performance, and the full copper cooling block has also had a 1 mm shave in materials for better performance.

Concurrently, Alphacool also announced a cooling solution for your system's RAM. The Aurora Plexi can support up to four memory modules., and adds a stop to your watercooling system's flow that removes heat from your operating DRAM. The material is the usual nickel-plated copper, and the Aurora Plexi features compatibility with Alphacool's D-RAM cooling modules. The RX5700 Aurora waterblock will be available for €109.95, while the Aurora Plexi DDR cooling kit will go for €54.95.

Without a doubt this is the best looking RX5700 block so far.

Reasonably priced, too.

Amazing that people still buying RAM waterblocks. I could understand that 15 years ago, when voltages were ridiculous. How high RAM temp can go now under normal operation 35C? Maybe 40C in very confined SFF/NUC spaces.

I literally touched (3000 MHz) DIMMs in my rendering workstation right now. I have Blender project running in the background. There is no airflow over them, at all (Tt P7). Sticks are colder than my finger which means much less than normal body temp of 36C. Ambient is 22C, no aircon.
