Alphacool Unveils Eisblock Plexi Water Blocks for MSI Ventus RTX 3080 and RTX 3090

[btarunr]

Today, Alphacool presents its latest RTX 3080/3090 GPU cooling block for the MSI GeForce RTX 3080/3090 Ventus 3X to pre-order. Delivery is expected to start at the end of October. This cooler covers all the necessary components that require cooling. This includes the voltage converters, graphics memory and of course the GPU. All known hotspots of the graphics cards are completely cooled with water. Alphacool includes special 1 mm thick Ultra Soft thermal pads with this GPU cooler. As the name suggests, these are very soft and nestle perfectly to the components to be cooled. When the thermal pads heat up, the consistency and behavior is more like a thermal paste than a thermal pad. This of course has a positive effect on heat dissipation and is thermally far superior to standard thermal pads.

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Plexi GPX-N RTX 3090/3080 Ventus comes with a suitable backplate. This does not have to be purchased separately.
Like all Eisblock Aurora coolers, these models offer a comprehensive Digital RGB, sometimes better known as aRGB, illumination.



Compatible with:

• MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ventus 3X 10G OC, 10 GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP
• MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ventus 3X 24G, 24 GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP
• MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ventus 3X 24G OC, 24 GB GDDR6X, HDMI, 3x DP

I don't like those new Alphacool fullcovers. The pressure drop generated by it will probably be huge. Also - good luck cleaning the block and putting all those orings back.

That's just Alphacool being Alphacool, i stopped buying from them years ago but wanted the DDC310 10W pump that i can only found sold by them. What ended up happening is that i bought the one with black heatsink received the grey one (it's written black on the box), the paintjob on the heatsink is bad and even the screws are bad. Everything in it was bad except the pump that isn't made by them.

I was going to buy the EK heatsink anyway but it's still sad.

Me neither. had enough trouble putting the single ring on my block back in.

Its best NVIDIA and or ASUS, to release their own much shorter RTX3000 with their own Water Block.
RTX3000 this is a very lengthy design as air-cooled = broken compatibility with many older PC cases.
