Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge

[DarkDevil2203]

Hello All!

I bought it a year ago. Everything is great except one.
In my opinion, the cooling fins are too small, and microparticles collect after a short time and impede the flow.

I have not found a filter that catches such fine particles, and all catches in this CPU Block.

Is there a kit/Backplate with larger cooling fins which are compatible to the Block?

The fins are so narrow to maximize the cooling area and get the best cooling performance. We do not offer an alternative bottom here. What kind of liquid do you use? There should be no particles of any relevant size in the liquid at all.

Hello and thank you for your Answer. I use 2L of fresh destillated Water and about 50 to 100 ml of Crystral Green Ice Water i bought also from Alphacool. I didnt know where this particles come from. After i changed the Water the flow is extremly good and after 2-3 weeks it gets slower.
And the fins of my GPU Watercooler are not that small. Also the Pump have some some space at the "Bubble break", the weakest spot are my CPU fins

Not all distilled water is the same. Especially when mixing with colored water, this can quickly lead to problems. Normal distilled water contains salts and minerals. These can combine with the color particles and then form flakes, i.e. small particles that become larger and larger.

You need at least distilled water from a reverse osmosis system. So demineralized water. The distilled water from the hardware store or the gas station is not suitable for water cooling.
