Alphacool introduces the latest generation of the Eisblock Aurora water cooler for Geforce RTX 40XX graphics cards. The water cooler has been optimized to efficiently dissipate the enormous heat generated by this generation of graphics cards. The fin structure has been adjusted, and the nozzle plate has been modified to enable better water flow and optimal distribution of water on the cooling fins.
Technical Highlights
The fin thickness of this Eisblock cooler generation is 0.4mm, as is the spacing between the cooling fins. The nozzle plate features a reworked inlay that distributes water pressure more effectively across the fins and optimizes heat absorption. The adapted water inflow ensures better water flow angle.
Chrome-plated Copper
The cooler base is entirely made of chrome-plated copper, which is more resistant to acids, scratches, and damage than nickel plating. Chrome-plated coolers have only been used in the industrial sector to handle extreme influences on coolers. Additionally, the chrome plating looks more uniform and provides a shine that cannot be achieved with nickel plating.
Design
The Aurora design of the Geforce RTX 40XX Eisblock generation has a calmer and a more plain appearance. The cooler is surrounded by a single O-ring, and the construction around the cooling fins and jet plate provides a clearer look. The digital addressable RGB LED lighting is distributed even better in the cooler thanks to the chrome plating. The terminal conforms to the classic Aurora design.
Thermal Paste and Pads
The package includes Alphacool's Subzero thermal paste, which is among the best performing thermal pastes available on the market. Additionally, Alphacool Soft Pads with a thickness of 1mm are used for the voltage regulators and graphics memory. The pads for the back of the PCB are 3mm thick, and their thermal conductivity is 7 W/mK and 3 W/mK, respectively. The electrically non-conductive thermal grease is particularly well-suited for high contact pressures and can still be processed perfectly due to its viscosity of 850,000 TF.
