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
Another good looking water block from Alphacool. Love that RGB lighting as well.

It does look good and the RGB does look well done. I even like that the promo picture is using RGB in a color that someone might really use.

Really confused by the designed flow compared to the competitors.

Overly complicated water flow.
 
Too many o-rings to seal it up and have chance of failing\leaking.
 
German company.
 
Typical over-engineering.

China, who has cranked out a lot of engineers, has also moved in the same direction of over engineered

I don't understand why simple universal blocks aren't made quickly, they would sell so quickly
