In GPUZ, what's your perfcap reason? With the OE cooler, it's thermal throttled by the ram on the back of the card. This cooler doesn't seem to address that.
@@mikebroom1866 yeah this is the same reason I am watching thus video. The ram on the back of the 3090 seems to get little attention though I hear the ekwb for the 3090 does address this.
I'm pretty sure he just ripped out a terminal as he was telling us to be careful of avoiding that. The white terminal around 4:20 comes right up off the board in the video.
You are both correct! It is why I mention being careful as on that particular connector, nothing is holding it to the PCB. usually there are clips, or pcb mounts holding it in, but this is just push fit with the terminals. It is just the nature of the beast. The whole card and block was dismantled and reassembled off camera to get rid of the hairs and correct the 3 mistakes that were made (although I don't think anyone has spotted the third yet!) The problem with doing things on camera close up like this in 4k is that I have 2 light stands, and a camera in the area I need to stand. I can only see things through the camera display with the Sony A7III as well as whilst shooting in 4k, it doesn't output to a secondary monitor so it is tricky. i.imgur.com/uoWS9dp.png To put your mind at ease though (and everyone else) there is the block installed still, with the connector attached as good as new :)
@@AlphacoolGmbH Was it the 2 stock thermal pads stuck on to the block? If not that, then was there a missing clear washer or the black nut at the end of the video? I replayed it and couldn't see what the third one was! Edit: Any chance you can show the block with the aRGB turned on?
@@AlphacoolGmbH Now this is how a company should behave yes we all make mistakes and its ok as long as we accept that and try to correct them.. unlike some..
I just got my Strix 3080 block, and it does not make proper contact with the memory at all! No matter how many times I remount it, the block just doesnt contact the memory and so there is heavy thermal throttling with memory temps over 110C, which is 30C worse than on air cooling. This also isnt fixed by using thicker pads since that causes the die mount pressure to reduce and causes the PCB to flex. I highly recommend staying away from these blocks until this is addressed
Is this applicable to all 3080/3090 card? The design layout of the board is exactly the same across all brands? I am trying to use this on the new Alienware R12 3090
Way better than the previous videos with that skinny dude and that strong German accent smashing the reservoir around and talking nonsense about the pumps... Well done! Great improvement on the product videos!
I’ve literally just purchased your Water block for 3080/3090 gaming/eagle for the gigabyte 3080 Ti gaming oc , it’s the first time doing a custom loop, and Alpha Cool was the number one block everyone told me to get, I’m so looking forward to it, but slightly nervous too 👍
What worries me is the fact that in their compatibility list is stated : ”compatibility approved - visual” for Gigabyte Gaming OC 3080Ti. Did you fitted the waterblock, if so... there are any issues? Thanks
I would really love to see a waterblock manufacturer making a block that also cools the back of the PCB. Perhaps it will happend with the incomming 3080 20GB DRR6X versión.
@@Kokinkun 🤔 didn't know about that, perhaps a single heatpipe can be just enouhg, surely its better that only a backplate, although a direct coper plate with fins over the back of the DIE and the back of the VRM would be ideal.

@@mr.not.so.perfect.666 its a good idea to make kit compatible with all backplates, but i also think that theese small fittings are a bit a mess, i'd like to see a better solution. Btw i created my own watercooled backplate.
Alphacool will you be replacing XC3 buyers reference 3080 waterblocks with XC3 variants? The block is not compatible and does not cool the VRM's properly, it is not compatible eventhough it was advertised that it was
FYI - you had a cat hair between your cold plate and the GPU (you can see it at 6:15, 7:22 directly in the middle of the cold plate area.. You may want to add that people check the cold plate is clear of all debris before dropping the GPU onto the cold plate.
That cat hair is a feature.... the performance will increase a lot with it. Trust me, i have two cats and i always put some hairs on my CPUs and GPUs for a better performance. The smell is also great under full load. Yeah, you are of course right... the cold plate should be alwayse clear and clean :-)
I`m very happy to see that Palit is using the expensive capacitors on the back (all the crashing mess that was reported recently) I was worried that my Gaming Pro 3090 that will arrive in a few days was using only cheap capacitors and was gonna cause crashes
This video made me finally decide to start saving up to water cool my whole system. Definitely will go with a alphacool waterblock, the kitten convinced me
looks sick! I have Alienware R12 with 3080ti looking for a water cooling solution. Not enough space, willing to do pull radiator outside, just need a guide on how to - the waterblock install looks very easy, I wish you had a guide on full setup of water-cooling with tubes and everything :(
@@MachuPichuu second this. Phanteks blocks are the highest quality and best looks imho. EK is usually a good middle ground but they're pricing their 3080 blocks is a bit high
Hello, could you please measure and let me know what the spacing of the mounting holes is on these cards? The screws you're putting in at 7:50 please. You could even just measure the backplate
During our testing, our blocks performed very well and we have had no issues at all. This block design has enabled us to fit more cards than most other brands whilst keeping the great performance :)
@Matt Earle It looks like there are two strips of metal on the left and right with direct waterflow over it, these cover the MOSFETS (actually more like integrated powerstages for these cards, they don't use discrete FETs, but I digress...)
@@DuyLeNguyen yeah looks like the inductors are what not being cooled on this block but they should typically not get that warm. So it's probably fine, they are cooled on the stock cooler though.
I bought one of these for my Asus Strix 3090, correct model 11940. The block looks nice and keeps the GPU cool. The problem is the thermal pads they sent with it is only 1mm not thick enough to make contact with memory. My memory temps are through the roof. From reading online eveyrone has the same problem. The thermal pads that its replacing is 2mm with the general view that 1.5mm is the correct size. Anyone else had this problem. To buy replacement pads are a small fortune which is annoying to say the least
This will be my first custom GPU cooling solution, what else (except thermal grease and 240mm prefilled radiator do I need) Pump? Which one should I get for this block and 240mm prefilled radiator.
I see that the EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra is listed as compatible. Is the included blackplate still used or do we use the stock EVGA backplate during install? Thanks for the video!
Does the backplate do enough to reduce the memory overheating issue on tbe 3090 fe? I had an older alphacool gpx Pro and the who block was a large aggressive heat sink. Not that pretty but worked very well. I'm wondering if these more.pretty simple and flat back plates cover the needs of cooling the RAM on the back of the 3090.
Hey @alphacool intermational GmbH can you tell us the new card length? The Block does decrease the length significantly. I don't habe that much place in my case and plan on building a rtx3080 custom loop. Knowing the card length with watercooling would help me a lot.
Hi, i am trying to confirm if this will fit my ZT-A30800F-10P because in the alphacool compatibility pdf the pricture of the card is actually different than the actual card
great clear concise vid... there are competitors who ship their cards... with chinese instructions...for a cpu block. its basic things like that, that make it worth it to pay whatever few bucks the difference is between quality and sketchy products.
Is it planned to have prefilled addin waterblocks fpr the rtx 30 series for your eisbaer ecosystem? I don't feel compfortable with manually filling stuff and so on (worried i might not tighten somethibg enough or too much causing damage or leaks) but would love to add the 3070 i will buy around christmas or late january (hopefully xD) into the loop to have even better gpu temps and less noise.
The heat conduction pads that can be pre-glued are not ultra soft pads and are therefore much less powerful. Since the pads are now pre-cut by us, it should not be a problem to put a few pads on the card.
bought 6800xt for msi gaming x trio - 2 screws holes are not aligned correctly,also, using the waterblock meant that i could no longer use an antisag bracket.. reaaally pissed off with alpha cool and their products. i had no number to number alignments with the pcb i actually redo itas i noticed some thermals were clearly in the wrong place because there was n clear instructions. actually during my watercooled build, i have had problems with every single alphacool product! its infuriating.. i had my concerns with alphacool from the very begining and im midway through a build and im unhappy with the gpu block. the D5 PUMP top mounting brackets can not fit onto the top when the plugs are in. even though the instructions shownthis magical flush plug... also the d5 pump cables do not clear the mounting bracket height..
So how the water will cool? Because the travel distance of the liquid is to short. I think its just reheating the water inside. Could you explain it to me pls.
Heat is energy and this is absorbed and transported away by the water and released into the air via the radiator. This means that water does not cool in the true sense. Copper absorbs heat and stores it until another medium, in this case water, absorbs and dissipates the heat. The thicker the copper, the longer the distance the heat has to travel, which is why we try to keep the cooler base as thin as possible. The thicker the copper, the worse the heat transfer. Even if copper is a super material, but thinner and less is always better for coolers. The faster the heat can get to the water, the better the cooling performance. In the case of an air cooler or a radiator, copper or aluminium is placed on as much surface area as possible so that copper or aluminium emit heat to the air via the surface. But the copper part of a radiator does not really have a surface in contact with the air and can therefore only release the heat via the water. Therefore, again, the thinner the copper above the components, the better the heat transfer to the water.
Thank you for the video! I need help please. I just bought GIGABYTE gaming GeForce RTX 3080 ti 12 GB GDDR6X graphics card. Will this waterblock work? Thanks in advance
Please make a adapter cable for the 3080 gaming oc i dont want to install it right now. The block is lying around now for 3 weeks. The thick connecter for the power cable make the build ugly asfuck. :( but the block is so nice i dont want to change to the bykski one with an adapter cable.
Hi, will it fit the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Waterblock? My GPU comes from factory with a waterblock, however it is rusting and I would like to replace it. Thank you.
Depending on the fire, the guarantee conditions vary. So I can only tell you to inform yourself about the individual brands. They change that from time to time.
@@AlphacoolGmbH Thank you very much for replying. I have one more question pls. I've noticed there are two thermo pads on each side (left and right) for VRM when it seem to you provide only one thermo pad for each side. It is seen when you disconnect heatsink from the board. Why is that?
I the 3090 Fe version of this block. While the core temp is great the mem temp is still hitting over 100c. Thermal pads from this kit were installed properly. Is there any thermal pads upgrades you would recommend?
The user Karl from Karl is waiting and waiting for a message from the Social Media Freak, but instead of an answer to his question, he got an answer from a strange bastard! 😄😂how does it feel to not get an answer Karl? 😁 the questioners will be raffled here, out of a million questions, there is only one answer for the user 😄I hope you're not going crazy now?
I'm just curious. Can I expect any kind of RTX 3080 with factory built in water cooling to be ever available? I would like to have a water cooled RTX 3080 but without need to dismantle the brand new card (which voids warranty I guess) and throw away a lot of its components (chassis & air coolers).
It looks like the exact same layout as the aorus 3080. I bought a bykski block what thickness pads are you using? The ones that came with bykski are beyond wrong
@Boom Stick The material costs are completely irrelevant for a water cooler. The costs arise from the development time, the preparation of the manual, the scanning of the PCBs, storage costs, shipping costs to dealers and much more. The pure material costs do not play any role in the calculation, because we are talking about a few cents.
The subtle Verge burn 😏

are your products as in toto kits available in india?
Will this bring down the memory junction temp on 3090????
I the 3090 Fe version of this block. While the core temp is great the mem temp is still hitting over 100c. Thermal pads from this kit were installed properly. Is there any thermal pads upgrades you would recommend?
You can try to order 15w, or even 17w thermal pads from amazon.
Disappointed in alphacool and backordering a preorder ugh! Switching to ekwb!
I bought this set up today I think.. 500ish all in lol. Crazy stuff.
Can you guys upload the aorus 3080 master version?
do you know if this fits the Dell 3090's
Will the Alphacool Eiswolf 2 GPU AIO work on RTX 3080/90? Where can i find it : p
The user Karl from Karl is waiting and waiting for a message from the Social Media Freak, but instead of an answer to his question, he got an answer from a strange bastard! 😄😂how does it feel to not get an answer Karl? 😁 the questioners will be raffled here, out of a million questions, there is only one answer for the user 😄I hope you're not going crazy now?
so can i buy this and everything else from corsair and stuff ?
I'm just curious. Can I expect any kind of RTX 3080 with factory built in water cooling to be ever available?
I would like to have a water cooled RTX 3080 but without need to dismantle the brand new card (which voids warranty I guess) and throw away a lot of its components (chassis & air coolers).
You are too early, there will be some RTX 3080 cards with a water block on it available in the future. And some of them are from us ;-)
I think a carbon fibre backplate would look really nice with this waterblock.
While it would look stunning I am sure i am unsure of thermal conductivity would be as good as aluminium.
It looks like the exact same layout as the aorus 3080. I bought a bykski block what thickness pads are you using? The ones that came with bykski are beyond wrong
The thickness of the heat conducting pads always depends on the respective cooler. You cannot compare this with other manufacturers.
when is: Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A Radeon RX 6800XT/6900XT Nitro+ with Backplate
coming to amazon?
We dont sell directly on Amazon anymore. You have to wait for our reseller if they want to sell over Amazon.
Please can alphacool do a FTW3 block I'll leave EK with their crazy price increase!

@Boom Stick The material costs are completely irrelevant for a water cooler. The costs arise from the development time, the preparation of the manual, the scanning of the PCBs, storage costs, shipping costs to dealers and much more. The pure material costs do not play any role in the calculation, because we are talking about a few cents.
@@AlphacoolGmbH this comment convinced me to buy Alphacool next.
Well, maybe not 100% there yet. :)
