Imagine getting a broken product and saying you got lucky it was only partially broken, this is totally unacceptable from alphacool
And Alphacool is expensive af too
Appreciate that you kept going after all the frustration during the stream to give it a solid shot at working
Man this video was trippy as fuck. You know how reviewers usually get samples that are built better than the retail product? Jufes got the real experience us customers would get.
Alpha cool got that MEGAstable manufacturing processes 😂
thank you supporters for making this content possible. Did Alphacool even test this once? They would have noticed the issues if they did...
Looks like that rectangular pad may be too tall. I've only seen them used if liquid metal is used. I would use a mechanic's straight edge warp checking tool to check the height of the thermal strips or if some other parts are too high or too low. Could this AIO be an RMA item?
ive got an alphacool block on my xc3 3080. it is alphacool's update to the reference style block jufus used years ago on his 3080 xc3 video. its doesn't leak, temps are fine, computer is silent. still was a pain to get good temps due to similar issues to this video. i measured all the standoffs around the die at 3.5mm height. then checked the length of the screws against the standoff thread depth. i decided to use some thicker washers to make sure the screws weren't bottoming into the standoffs. the screw look like this once the springs are removed [==---- this can allow the fatter non threaded portion to bind against the standoff before megastable op can be realized.
So glad i went with heat killer block for my 4090. Thanks for the review.
I had the same issue with this block for Gigabyte Gaming 4090 OC. Fortunately in my case it were just too thick pads on VRAM. Used thinner there and all went great then.
So I know it’s not the exact same but I just built my first custom loop and used an alphacool core block for a tuf 4090. It was made super easy. Instructions were amazing pads were precut and made easy and thermals are great. The color coordination on the pads honestly made the whole process not scary.
well yeah, using the stuff you built yourself is fine, its this "aio" crap some of the water cooling company's make that tends to be crap vs the AIO/Air makers.
No it's alphacool. Ivan Rodriguez (what's that name even?) is lying.
you can damage the pump over time along with your gpu if the water inside the cooler isnt clean and you dont refill it making sure theirs no bubbles
Giving this a thumbs up, customer gonna appreciate Jufus testing this and we know that we need to avoid this product. Im just shaking my head, alphacool really messed up big time with this one.
i have the same issue on the 7900xtx + eiswolf 2. Had to put it into a hyte y40 top rad and vertical gpu to solve the air bubble problem.
I'd like to see the statistics with it fully working shame it wasn't possible
Still rocking the 2080ti at 23C with the ac on it, 37-39 depending on the load 360wat
Got the Eiswolf for my 7900xtx with the infamous hotspot issue. I works great for me so far . Not going above 50C with the hotspot staying around 70 to 75 -ish.
I have a 7900xtx from asrock,and have the hot spot thing too.Im thinking in get one aio too,it's yours still fine?
This is the exact reason I'm buying it too. I've been undervolting my gpu for months now since the Hotspot would always overheat.
Thank you so much for this video, you just saved me a bunch of frustration and cash. Thanks so much.
as a water-cooling loop for the cpu iv had a eiswolf block and 2 rads it ran for 6 years with no maintenance before even a hiccup, there certainly some of the best, any new product line has issues look at amd chips as a whole and how long they took to become stable
hopefully they learn from this, quick revision rev 1.1 or something and send you one out to retest!
This is what a good company would do…. Also it would most definitely sell some units to all of us watching and seeing their ability to correct an isssue…. I won’t hold my breath.
Wow what a train wreak of a product, great video Jufes!
Dude has got a Ninja Turtles carpet?? That's the shit that needs a review! Turtles > Eiswolf
I was about to get a waterblock from them for my zotac extreme 4090 because it seemed like good price around $180. Now I will go with bykski.
This is not the same as just a water block tho. This is with a whole pump and rad. This product not great but I use a core block and itself works fantastic. If you go based of 1 product not being good then don’t buy anything from anyone bc they all have had a bad product.
the water block works very well you just need to combine it with a pump that moves the water well
just to be 100% transparent, I used the normal alphacool waterblock on a 3080ti, on the 4090 FE I use the Core version
@@ivanrodriguez2047I got a core block for my 4090 amp extreme and it was a nightmare. Had to remount three times and use putty instead of thermal pads.
I tried the same product for the FTW3 3080ti and it was worse than the air cooler, I think the problem is that pump it has, I was doing 75 c° and after putting a D5 ekwb at about 50% of the speed I was doing 40 c°
I also had it for the 3080ti ftw3 and it made a world of difference for me. 80c with air to 60c. I guess I got lucky. I can only assume that alphacool has major problems with QC
my alphacool aurora water block for palit gamerock 3090 is perfectly fine, still keeps that 420W card under 50C
missed this stream but I was literally checking this aio couple days ago - well.... I guess nevermind then.
Thanks Jufes and the supporters!!
I bought this for my 3080ti Fe a couple years ago, mine came with no defects and worth every penny.
guys can you help i got 4070 ti windforce oc what waterblock do i get for it
it's Very annoying pzzzzzz and fans are bad above 60% ty
I literally had the exact same 'floaties' in my Eisbaer and Eiswolf loop... Had to drain and refill before I allowed it to go long-term since it clogged almost immediately.... very sad.
Buy alphacool, get alphacool.
JB weld held for 10 years for me on a tube leak on my hot tub hest exchanger they wanted me to pay 1000 bucks before.
thanks jufes i was about to buy this thing but you fcked around and found out for me, thanks!
stayed till the end and no kitty, almost gave a down thumb lol
I always hear their blocks perform better than the others companies, and when i bought mine, i thought, maybe i should make my rig ALL alphacool. Started researching their site, products, and youtube channel and was turned off so fast on all their other products. Everything just looked like dated products from the 80s. I am not the least bit surprised by this AIO from them being bad. Look at those fans, they look like a snap together model plane propeller from the 80s.
man had me on the floor when he got down to talking about the bacterial growth ALREADYH growing in that jawn 5:49
Received mine and just installed it. Corner by PCI-e gold fingers is broken at the screw mount. Time to test! XD
Came with residue thermal pad smudges and defects in the machining. The corner mount that was received broken (box was broken where the acrylic was broken) also had some blue residue inside of the mounting screw. What the fuck?
so alphacool blocks for gpus are pretty good. i appreciate the price on 4090FE block big time... one thing that they do is pre cut and LABELED pads and really good instructions. the other thing they do to save money... incase you didnt know... that is NOT nickel coating.... its CHROME on copper! it has the same effect as nickel but at a cost that is MUCH MUCH LESS than competition.. because buying a 400 dollar waterblock in my opinion is RIDICULOUS! its pc hardware... not jewelry. just my opinion. ive had really good luck with alphacool
Heatkiller Block FTW never look back.
Why is this necessary with the 4090 AIB coolers being over-engineered as is?
For overclocking or less fans noise.
The best thing alphacool has is the quick connectors.
Thanks👍💪to the supporters …. and commiserations 😢for money lost and taking a hit for the masses 😇. I used to own one of these Alphacool AIO GPU units for my old 1080Ti and it was a great product ……. How things have fallen 😢😭!
You got lucky, I also had the AIO for the 1080ti and the pump failed within weeks due to air lock I presume, customer support was terrible, had to send back for RMA, they didnt even give me a new one, they fixed the one I sent them, the pump continued to make a horrible clicky noise for the next couple of years before failing, and they refused warranty (EU) when I asked them for support as I was outside the 2 years warranty period. Stay away from alphacool pumps and waterblocks, their radiators are pretty good though.
use copper plates on the gpu chip
thanks for testing so we know and can avoid, specially for the money this cost. thumbs up for Jufes, thumbs down for the company for not making correct contact
Good job brother.
Kinda hard to see but that is some excellent machining there lmao. It’s just not hyper polished/pvd’d. Polish/pvd is expensive af. Just gotta make the comment
you have to empty it and refill it
Why would anyone go through all the trouble installing something like this and not just going the distance and building an actual custom loop. These type of products never make any sense to me
Hello, I have a question for you, which processor is better, 13900k or 14900k?
Thanks for being the guinea pig , I will just run my fans faster !
Stuck a refurb eiswolf ii (£120) on a card and solved a cooler issue. Thermal shitdown at stock, severe throttling after repaste. Eiswolf ii 500w at 65 degree on GPU. Must have f*cked the measurements for 4090.
You know it is bad when Kitty doesn't show up
To think that the price would make for a good product they need some work to be done to it
Seems pretty redundant to water cool a 40 series card when the air cooler is so good this time around. I got the einswolf 2 for me 3090ti and worked wonders on my temps compared to stock air cooler. I just think you got a defective unit. Shouldn't say the entire product itself is garbage because it isn't/
Trashy QC on the external stuff. What’s hidden inside.
80C hotspot for only 420W underload is really air-cooler temps, that AIO is not good value what so ever.
thanks bruh
I hve had nothing but bad experience with Alphacool and their customer service is complete rubbish. Please do let us know if they reached out to you and what excuses they came up with :)
shit happens... Ive run so much Alphacool stuff its ridiculous, and still do..only thing that happened to me was an rgb ring on my reservoir went out prematurely but i abuse tf out of my stuff so it might have been my fault also... love alphacool... just as good if not better than EK for much less money... i also like they are always the first to bust out a gpu cooler and have a gpu configurator and easily found instructions... ive never used those washers on blocking a gpu...
I would at least Alphacool make it right before condemning them as a company not to buy from..
Live saver vedio
never use the cheap ones....you buy it cheap you buy it double
Your not giving it the power it needs , thats why the water pump is weak. Asus motherboards see the pump as a fan control and you need to give it full power.
Mine is perfect
Wow... I get not much more than that at 3000mhz on my 4090FE Air cooler. Horrendous product.
Good shit jufus
Would never trust anything plastic anywhere near my GPU.
Just a bad idea on so many levels…..but I want to watch the water move…..ADD behavior smh.
Haha typical Alphacool. Produce good product only to end up filling it with Chinese swamp water!
How do you fuck something up so badly?
poor alphacool
All 4090's have enormous coolers that keep them colder than the room they're in and don't need modification. Get a bigger case and use the stock cooler. You're all a bunch of crazy insane people. I'm crazy and insane too, but just not as crazy and insane as you are.
"keep them colder than the room they're in"
Lies of P
@@mitsuhh A 4090 can be used instead of an air conditioner. I have to keep clearing the ice cubes out of my case that the 4090 makes.
AlphaNotCool man! Not cool at all. Maybe they'll see the video and send you one that isn't broken, unless they are all like that.
this looks even more dogshit than the ekwb direct die block for 13th gen
most 4090's dont even have 80C hotspots on air lol
Just get a msi suprim x liquid. It cools just fine.
First time watching this channel ?
wow that machining is absolute trash. when you're pointing out the issue with the thermal paste spread you can really see it.
all that work and waste of paste and pads for nothing. i hate such an experience!
I am ashamed to say it but I have got screwed by alphacool on 5 products. My favourite were the 90 degree bends that were 78 degrees. Strange how all content creators, including tech Jesus cult leader, seem to always be lucky.
