Alphacool introduces the new Apex thermal paste. With a thermal conductivity of 17 W/mK, it enters the circle of the most powerful thermal pastes on the market. The main objective during development was, of course, to increase the thermal conductivity. However, points such as viscosity and durability should not be ignored. Alphacool was able to optimize the viscosity so that the Apex thermal paste is particularly suitable for high contact pressures and is still easy to process. The main ingredient of Apex Thermal Grease is a nano-powder with a very low thermal impedance. This makes it possible for electronic components to be cooled efficiently, thus extending their durability and improving their reliability.

Due to high customer demand, Alphacool is expanding its Special White Edition and now also offers the Rise Aurora fans in white. The fans perfectly match the white NexXxos radiators and the connectors of the Eizapfen White Edition in terms of color. The digital aRGBs create a unique illumination to complete the visual appearance.

Alphacool's Rise Aurora doesn't just score points for its design, though. Like the model in black, the fan is offered in 120 mm or 140 mm. Due to the high airflow (120 mm 154.1 m³/h | 140 mm 154.1 m³/h) paired with a high static pressure (120 mm 3.17 mm/H₂O | 140 mm 2.20 mm/H₂O), the fan is perfect for mounting on radiators of a water cooling system or for ventilating a case.

Alphacool's NexXxoS HPE radiator is now also available as ST20 variant. The compact slim radiator can be mounted very flexibly and space-saving even in the tightest cases due to its low height of only 20 mm.

Technically and functionally, the NexXxos HPE ST20 is comparable to the HPE-30 and HPE-45 versions. All water-bearing parts and the cooling fins are still made of pure copper. The number of water channels and copper fins inside the radiator has been increased with the result that a larger volume of water is now in direct contact with the cooling fins and the cooling surface is used much more efficiently. Thanks to the technical innovations, the heat transfer has been improved enormously compared to the previous NexXxos models and the cooling performance has been increased significantly.

Just in time for the official launch of the new AMD graphics card generation, Alphacool can already offer the first compatible Eisblock water coolers for Radeon RX 6750 XT & 6950 XT GPUs. Alphacool is checking other cards for possible compatibility. The latest compatibility list is available for download in the online shop. With the help of the graphics card configurator, you can easily find the right cooler for your existing graphics card. Smart and efficient.

Alphacool expands the portfolio of the Enterprise Solutions series for graphics card water coolers and presents today the new ES RTX A5000 GPU cooler. The PNY NVIDIA RTX A5000 GPU can now be actively water-cooled with Alphacool's ES RTX full-cover copper cooler.

The water cooler is made of copper and acetal and comes with an aluminium backplate. It is specially designed for use in tight server cases. In order to save space in width and height, the connections have been moved to the rear of the block, which also enables easier tubing within the server rack. Despite its compact design, this acetal water cooler has the same performance features as the coolers in the Eisblock Aurora acrylic series. Smart and efficient.

For more than a decade, Alphacool's NexXxoS Full Copper radiator series has been one of the most powerful radiators on the market. With their incomparable performance, the radiators can easily dissipate even extremely high waste heat and have become indispensable in many areas of the cooling industry. Nevertheless, with the NexXxos HPE generation, it's time for the next evolutionary step!

What does HPE mean? Alphacool's NexXxos HPE radiators use the same materials as previous NexXxos models, but take it a step further technically. The number of water channels and copper fins inside the radiator has been increased. This means that a larger volume of water is in direct contact with the cooling fins and the heat transfer is improved enormously. The higher number of fin rows and their shortening also makes much more efficient use of the cooling surface. Comparison tests with the conventional NexXxos radiator have shown that a significant performance increase of 4.5K is possible when using the HPE radiator. At higher ambient temperatures and higher fan speeds, the performance gap with the regular NexXxoS radiators even progressively increases, reaching a possible performance increase of up to 6K. Such a performance leap has never been seen in the past.

Alphacool's CPU All-in-One solutions Eisbaer Aurora and Eisbaer LT Aurora are now available with the new NexXxoS HPE (High Performance Edition) 360mm radiator. What does HPE mean? The NexXxos HPE-30 radiator uses the same materials as the previous NexXxos models, but technically goes a step further. Due to the condensed internal construction, the number of water channels and copper fins could be increased. This means that a larger volume of water is in direct contact with the cooling fins and the heat transfer is enormously improved.

Due to the higher number of fin rows and their shortening, the cooling surface is also used much more efficiently. Comparison tests (test setup: ASUS Prime X299/Intel i9-10900X with 350 W waste heat) with the conventional NexXxos radiator have shown that a significant performance increase of 4.5K is possible when using the HPE radiator. At higher ambient temperatures and higher fan speeds, the performance gap to the normal NexXxoS radiators even increases progressively and reaches a possible performance increase of up to 6K. There has never been such a leap in performance in the past!

The RTX 3090 Ti is certainly one of the most powerful graphics cards on the market. But where to put the resulting waste heat? To be able to utilize the full performance of the graphics card, Alphacool introduces the Eisblock Aurora water cooler for GeForce RTX 3090 TI. Fully illuminated with aRGB LEDs, the full-cover copper cooler with acrylic surface and edge design not only looks great, but also impresses with its exceptional cooling performance.

With the optionally available active backplate, also equipped with a complete aRGB LED illumination, the cooling performance can be further increased significantly. The active backplate is also made of copper and additionally cools VRAMs and the GPU through direct contact on the back. It can be integrated into the circuit in parallel via the optionally available MCX adapter or directly via the G1/4 connectors.

Alphacool today presents the Eiswolf 2 All-in-One solution for Geforce RTX 3090 Founders Edition graphics cards. The Eiswolf 2 uses the Alphacool 360 mm NexXxoS ST30 full copper radiator. For the fans, we use the 120 mm Alphacool Aurora Rise. The AIO is completed by the Eisblock Aurora water cooler. This not only cools the GPU chip, but actively cools all relevant components such as the memory and VRAM. It also has brilliant aRGB lighting.

All components used (radiator, fan, cooler, DC-LT 2 pump) including fittings and tubing are part of the Alphacool DIY range and are therefore available separately. The combination of all components results in a solution that is as easy to install as an AIO, but offers the performance of a pre-assembled and pre-filled custom loop.

Alphacool today presents the Core XPX/Eisbaer metal backplate for all CPU coolers of the XPX, Eisbaer Solo, Eisbaer Pro and Eisbaer LT model series (solo coolers and AIOs). The backplate is made of steel and is compatible with Intel's LGA 115X, 1200 and 1700 sockets. Due to the material composition of the backplate, the CPU cooler can be additionally stabilised and mounted on the socket with improved contact pressure. This leads to a considerable improvement in cooling performance compared to the previously used plastic backplates. The increase in cooling performance is most clearly measurable with Intel's socket LGA 1700. If you provide a proof of purchase for a CPU cooler of the XPX, Eisbaer Solo, Eisbaer Pro or Eisbaer LT model series (solo coolers and AIOs), Alphacool will send you a Core XPX/Eisbaer metal backplate free of charge!

Alphacool today announces the first active backplate for GeForce RTX 3080/3090 graphics cards from Alphacool. The Eisblock Aurora GPX-N Acrylic Active Backplate is the perfect upgrade for Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora Acrylic/Acetal GPX-N GPU custom water coolers as well as Alphacool's Eiswolf 2 GPU All-in-One solutions. With the help of the backplate, the graphics memory on the back of GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards can now also be actively water-cooled. With the help of 7 W/mk thermal pads, the active backplate has direct contact with the graphics memory to be cooled and can cool it more efficiently. This results in a significant increase in cooling performance.

Like all products from Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora GPX acrylic product line, the active backplate also features brilliant illumination. Six addressable digital RGB LEDs are embedded directly within the cooler. The effect is an illumination that encompasses the entire cooling block and creates unique lighting effects. The digital aRGB LED lighting is connected via a JST 3-pin connector and can be controlled with a digital RGB controller or a digital RGB-capable mainboard.

With the new Aurora Vertical GPU Mount, Alphacool now offers the possibility to install the graphics card vertically inside compatible PC cases, whether they're air or liquid cooled. In addition, the mount features 11 digitally addressable 5V RGB LEDs that create a unique, very classy looking illumination. The digital aRGB LED lighting can be controlled either with a digital RGB controller or a digital RGB capable motherboard.

There is more new blood within the Ice Block range! In the future, Zotac RTX 3070Ti AMP Holo, Trinity and Trinity OC can also be water-cooled with Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX custom cooler.

Today, Alphacool introduces the ES 4U reservoir with integrated D5 pump top from the Enterprise Solutions series. The combination of pump top and reservoir is designed to be mounted directly into the front of 4U servers. This gives you easier maintenance possibilities thanks to clever positioning in the server case!

Another plus point is the cover used, it is made exclusively of acrylic, allowing you to see and control the water cooling level at any time. In addition, the acrylic cover has 2 inlets and outlets with G1/4" threads, which allow easy filling, draining and bleeding of the cooling loop even when installed in the case. The integrated pump top and is compatible with all D5 format pumps. The pump retaining ring, pump O-ring and all screws are included.

Alphacool today presents the D-Plug, a new connector from the ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS series. The ES D-Plug has 2 G1/4" external threads and offers the possibility to connect components such as graphics cards, CPU coolers or radiators to each other within the cooling loop. The special feature of the D-Plug is that they are push-fit rather than screwed together. Each D-Plug has a variable length which can be achieved by pulling the connector apart, an extension of up to 15 mm is possible. The additional length available allows a high degree of flexibility in compensating for inaccuracies in the system design. The lack of a screw connection prevents the possible twisting of hoses during installation.

Of course, the connector has been extensively tested in the Alphacool lab with the result that the D-Plug is stable up to 1.5 Bar. The ES D-Plug is available in lengths of 20 mm, 25.5 mm and 31.5 mm - optionally in brilliant chrome or matte black.

Alphacool today presents the Eiswolf 2 All-in-One solution for GeForce RTX 3080 NVIDIA Founders Edition and Radeon RX 6800/6800XT MSI Gaming X Trio graphics cards. The Eiswolf 2 uses the Alphacool 360 mm NexXxoS ST30 full copper radiator. For the fans, we use the 120 mm Alphacool Aurora Rise. The AIO is completed by the Eisblock Aurora water cooler. This not only cools the GPU chip, but actively cools all relevant components such as the memory and VRAM. It also has brilliant aRGB lighting.

All components used (radiator, fan, cooler, DC-LT 2 pump) including fittings and tubing are part of the Alphacool DIY range and are therefore available separately. The combination of all components results in a solution that is as easy to install as an AIO, but offers the performance of a pre-assembled and pre-filled custom loop.

With the Eisbaer LT240 & LT360 Aurora, Alphacool today presents new CPU "All-in-One" solutions based on the previously so successful Eisbaer LT series. Compared to the classic Alphacool Eisbaer LT AIO, the cooler and pump unit as well as the fans of the new Aurora version are now fully equipped with digital RGB LEDs. With the included controller, extensive lighting effects can be set, which provide unique and noble illumination.

As with all Eisbaer AIOs, Alphacool again uses the NexXxoS radiator with cooling fins, pre-chambers and cooling channels made of copper as well as the robust TPV hoses with quick-release couplings from the ENTERPRISE Solutions series. With the help of the quick couplings, it is possible to integrate other common water cooling products such as GPU coolers into the loop. The flat pump housing allows the AIO to be installed even in the smallest spaces. Alphacool's Eiszyklon Aurora LUX PRO is used as the fan, the DC-LT pump is replaced by Alphacool's quieter and more powerful DC-LT2 pump.

We're ready for the launch of Intel's 12th Gen Core processor, Alder Lake! We can announce that almost the entire current Alphacool range of CPU coolers and CPU AIOs are compatible with the LGA socket 1700. A mounting kit included in the scope of delivery enables immediate use on Intel's LGA 1700 socket. The compatible CPU blocks include: Eisblock XPX, Eisblock XPX Pro Aurora, Eisblock XPX Aurora, Eisbaer (Solo), Eisbaer LT (Solo), Eisblock XPX 1U, Eisblock XPX Pro 1U, Eisblock Aurora XP³, and NexXxoS XP³. The compatible AIO coolers include: Eisbaer, Eisbaer Aurora, Eisbaer Extreme, Eisbaer LT, and Eisbaer Pro Aurora. The complete list can be found below.

Alphacool today presents the HPE-45 and HPE-60 X-Flow, the new generation of high-performance radiators from Alphacool's proven NexXxoS full copper radiator series. What is new? With the HPE series, Alphacool increases the number of cooling channels within the radiator. This change gives a significant increase in cooling performance without increasing the restriction in the radiator. Another performance-enhancing feature of Alphacool's HPE series is the high fin density. With a fin spacing of 15 or 16 FPI, it enables an optimal flow of air. If the radiator is equipped with 80 mm fans on both sides in push/pull mode, a significant reduction in water temperature is demonstrably possible compared to standard radiators.

The NexXxoS HPE-60 all-copper radiators also feature Alphacool's proven X-Flow technology. This means that the Inlets and outlets are located on the opposite sides and thus enable an easy realisation of a water circuit within a server rack. The 60 mm thick radiators can be equipped with three or four 80 mm fans per radiator side.

Alphacool today presents the Eiswolf 2 "All-in-One" solution for Geforce RTX 3080/3090 Gigabyte Aorus Master/Xtreme and Radeon RX 6800XT/6900XT Sapphire Nitro+graphics cards. The Eiswolf 2 uses the Alphacool 360 mm NexXxoS ST30 full copper radiator. For the fans, we use the 120 mm Alphacool Aurora Rise. This impressive fan with a max. static pressure of 3.17 mm/H2O, offers a max. air flow of 119.8m³/h. The speed range of the fan, from 0-2500rpm, is adjustable via PWM. The AIO is completed by the Eisblock Aurora water cooler. This not only cools the GPU chip, but actively cools all relevant components such as the memory and VRAM. It also has brilliant aRGB lighting.

All components used (radiator, fan, cooler, DC-LT 2 pump) including fittings and tubing are part of the Alphacool DIY range and are therefore available separately. The combination of all components results in a solution that is as easy to install as an AIO, but offers the performance of a pre-assembled and pre-filled custom loop. Only the pump housing for the DC-LT 2 pump is a custom-made item that is only part of the scope of delivery of the AIO solution and is therefore not available separately.

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora acrylic GPX water cooler with backplate is now also available for MSI Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming X graphics cards.

More performance! Voltage converters and V-RAM is now cooled much better and more effectively with liquid cooling. This is due to the components being brought closer to the cooler through the use of thinner, yet more powerful Thermal pads. The reduction of the thickness of the nickel-plated copper block to 5.5mm and the constant optimisation of the water flow within the heat sink promise a significant increase in performance. In addition to performance, design also plays an important role. The addressable digital RGB LEDs are embedded directly in the cooling block and give the cooler its very own visual touch.

Alphacool today presents the Eiswolf 2 "All-in-One" solution for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080/3090 Gigabyte Gaming/Eagle graphics cards. The Eiswolf 2 uses the Alphacool 360 mm NexXxoS ST30 full copper radiator. For the fans, we use the 120 mm Alphacool Aurora Rise. This impressive fan with a max. static pressure of 3.17 mm/H2O, offers a max. air flow of 119.8m3/h. The speed range of the fan, from 0-2500rpm, is adjustable via PWM. The AIO is completed by the Eisblock Aurora water cooler. This not only cools the GPU chip, but actively cools all relevant components such as the memory and VRAM.

Only the pump housing for the DC-LT 2 pump is a custom-made item that is only part of the scope of delivery of the AIO solution and is therefore not available separately.

Server and workstation users will soon be able to mount all Eisblock XPX Pro models and the Eisbaer Pro AIO on the LGA 4189 socket. The corresponding bracket will soon be available as an option. Owners of an XPX Pro cooler or the Eisbaer PRO AIO can contact Alphacool with their invoice to receive a free bracket: info@alphacool.com

All Eisblock XPX coolers and Eisbaer AIOs are already compatible with Intel Socket LGA 1700. If you own an Alphacool Eisblock XPX cooler and looking to upgrade to the new Intel Socket 1700, you don't have to worry about additional mounts. All Eisblock XPX coolers are already compatible with the new socket LGA 1700 with the included mounting material. A corresponding new manual for all coolers of the Alphacool Eisblock XPX series will be available online when the socket is released. All Eisbaer CPU AIO water coolers are also compatible with Socket 1700 with the enclosed mounting kit.

With the ES "HighFlow" flow and temperature sensor, the Rise 6 W/mk thermal compound and the AlphaTube HF 19/13 Ultra Clear hose, Alphacool today presents three new products in the Alphacool range that no water cooling loop should be without. One sensor, two functions! The Alphacool ES "HighFlow" is a combination of flow and temperature sensor, which can be integrated at any position in the water circuit due to its very compact design. Due to the use of acetal, the sensor is extremely light at only 45 g.

Alphacool's Rise 6 W/mK thermal paste is clearly one of the favourites when performance and easy application is required. The thermal paste is electrically non-conductive and very well suited for high contact pressures. Thanks to its consistency, even the smallest height differences between the components to be cooled are compensated for and the heat generated can be dissipated better.

Alphacool today presents the NexXxoS Nova 1080 mm fan box and the Nova 1080 9x120mm fan shroud, two further accessories to fine tune the functionality of the Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 & UT60 Full copper 1080 mm Nova radiators.

The Alphacool NexXxoS Nova 1080 mm fan box enables external installation of a NexXxoS XT45 Nova 1080 mm radiator including fan. Thanks to the included feet, the fan box can be placed anywhere. The grid structure at the front and rear of the box provides optimum air flow and also protects the fan and the cooling fins of the radiator from damage due to penetration by foreign bodies.

Today, Alphacool presents a new generation of thermal pads. The Alphacool Apex Soft and Rise Ultra Soft thermal pads can be compared thermal paste due to their outstanding properties and efficiency.

The Apex Soft and Rise Ultra Soft thermal pads fill up the unevenness of components significantly better than standard pads. As they can nestle between components better, heat transfer between the cooler and component is significantly increased. The softer consistency of the thermal pads also prevents taller components such as voltage converters or VRAM from being subjected to increased contact pressure from the cooler. The special material does not dry out as easily as standard thermal pads, allowing them to be used for a much longer period without any significant loss of performance.
