    Purchasing Specific Alphacool GPU WB Thermal Pads

    No, we do not offer pre-cut pads separately for specific coolers. Unfortunately, there is no way around cutting the pads to size yourself. The only alternative that makes everything much easier is a thermal putty such as the X1...

    The maximum water temperature you should allow is 60°C. Many water-cooling components are not designed for higher temperatures. However, that is already an extremely high temperature. Normally, water temperature is calculated using a delta value, meaning the difference between the water...

    Can I add a GPU cooler with the Eisbaer Aurora Solo? Or do I need an additional pump?

    If you run the Apex pump at full power, it is a little louder. However, with your loop, you will only need to run it at around 30% PWM. At that speed, it will not be audible.

    Apex CPU Block and Apex Monoblock

    @DawnOfNemesis Nein, das Layout beim 870E ist völlig anders, auch wenn es auf den Bildern nahezu identisch aussieht. Ein entsprechender Monoblock wird noch kommen. Ich kann dir aber im Moment nicht sagen, wann genau. Mit einem Monat würde ich aber noch rechnen.

    Can I add a GPU cooler with the Eisbaer Aurora Solo? Or do I need an additional pump?

    Hi, Regarding the first question: It should just about still work. However, I would strongly recommend getting a proper reservoir with a powerful pump. Then you won’t have to worry about this kind of thing anymore when making further upgrades over the next few years. In addition, the flow rate...

    Alphacool Eisbaer 420 CPU Pumpe läuft ständig trocken

    Das Problem wird eher daran liegen, dass nach deinem Befüllen einfach noch Luft im Radiator war und diese jetzt im AGB gelandet ist. So viel Flüssigkeit verschwindet nicht nach zwei Monaten einfach so. Ausbauen und dann nochmal befüllen. Man kann auch die Bodenplatte abschrauben und darüber...

    I’m not going to give you exact numbers. Airflow, the type of fans, the exact flow rate, and a few other factors all affect the overall cooling performance. But going from 3x 360 mm radiators to 3x 420 mm radiators will not make a huge difference at 600–700 W. Maybe around 2–3°C difference in...

    Eiswolf 2 Block Build up

    I don’t see any damage yet. Flushing should be enough. If the residue inside does not come loose, use a cleaning kit, such as item 13016. Alternatively, you can use a coffee machine cleaner based purely on citric acid. Let the cooler “soak” with it for a while and then rinse it thoroughly again...

    Alphacool Leak Testing Tool incl. Pump Question

    Hi, No, that is not necessary. Simply connect the leak tester, pump it up, and wait for about 1 hour. You will see that around 0.1 bar is lost. That is normal, but it should not be more than that. When you are finished and there is no further pressure loss, everything is fine. If you are...

    Help Needed: Custom Loop Cooling Plan for Dual Xeon + 4× Tesla V100 32GB PCIe Server

    We do not offer a suitable graphics card cooler for these graphics cards, so I cannot help you with that. For the CPU cooler, you need an “XPX Pro”. Which one you choose does not matter. That is purely a matter of taste, as the differences are basically only visual. When it comes to fittings...

    Eiswolf 2 Block Build up

    The coolant remained in the AIO for too long. It needs to be completely drained and flushed. These are no longer just simple deposits; this is already close to the point where the coatings start to get affected. If coolant remains stagnant in an AIO for too long, the fluid can “go bad.” I’m not...

    Build advice

    Of course, both configurations are better than 3x 360 mm. They both offer more surface area, and more surface area means better cooling performance. But whether you choose option 1 or 2 doesn’t make much difference in the end. The difference is so marginal that, temperature-wise, it might only...

    @JayBase Please wait until tomorrow. This takes a bit longer to explain everything and i am very busy today. So sorry. Tomorrow i will answere.

    Inno3d RTX4090 + 9800X3D in einer custom loop - Neuling

    Der AGB sollte schon mindestens halb voll sein. Wenn du glaubst, dein System ist entlüftet, glaubst du falsch. Es kann Wochen dauern bis auch die letzten Luftblasen aus dem Kreislauf sind. In dieser Zeit kann sich der Wasserpegel merklich weiter senken. Und jedes Jahr sollte man auch einmal den...
