Need advice: Water cooling for GPU and CPU

Hello

I want to replace my air cooling with a water cooling system. It heats up quite a bit

* Asus ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO
* EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA
* AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor
* G.Skill DDR4 Trident-Z 4x16GB 3600MHz RGB [F4-3600C17Q-64GTZR]
* Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW Mid-Tower ATX Case
* be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4

This is my setup, what would the best productions be to set up the water cooling for my system. I don't have experience with water cooling, so AIO set up would be preferred. If not possible then what would I need to a custom loop, but like I said no experience with water cooling.

IDLE:
* CPU: 55-68 C
* GPU: 53-60 C

LOAD:
* CPU: 92 C
* GPU: 97 C

Thanks

Unfortunately, we do not have an AIO water cooling system for your graphics card, only a normal water cooler.
Basically, however, it is not particularly difficult to set up a water cooling system if you use hoses. You need the GPU cooler, an reservoir with integrated pump, a radiator and 6 fittings. Add cooling water and the whole thing is ready.
Which reservoir with pump you use is entirely up to you.

For example:
GPU Cooler: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/...l-gpx-n-rtx-3080/3090-ftw3-with-backplate-eol

Fittings: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/.../10mm-screw-on-nozzle-g1/4-deep-black-sixpack

Radiator: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/...acool-nexxxos-st30-full-copper-360mm-radiator

Reservoir: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/...urora-reservoir-acetal/acrylic-with-apex-pump

Liquid: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/...uids/waz-alphacool-tec-protect-2-clear-1000ml

Hi Eddy,

What do you recommend then for the CPU?

If I try to access the GPU cooler, it says it's no longer available.

Oh, I'm sorry, then the cooler is sold out. It won't be coming back either as it's End of Live. I can't offer you an alternative. At best, you can still get it from some reseller or second-hand.

Hi all,
So what happened to Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO - 360mm RTX 3080/3090 FTW3 with Backplate (Article number: 14414)?

I came to this company specifically looking for this product, and now it turns out it has been discontinued... is there any particular reason why it was removed from the catalog? I see there are other AOI models for the RTX 3080 from MSI, ASUS, and other companies... I don’t understand how it could be discontinued in less than three years just because it has "reached the End of Life".
The 3080 (ti FTW3, in my case) still has a lot of life ahead, and an AIO was the perfect option for those who don’t want the hassle of setting up a serious liquid cooling system.
I hope Alphacool reconsiders and releases another batch for this card (if it sold out, it was a success, and that’s why they shouldn’t discontinue the product).

Whether a product is removed from the range or not depends on the sales figures. The sales figures for graphics card coolers or AIOs are highest when the cards are new on the market and then fall continuously. The AIO was a success, but currently AIOs and coolers for the 3XXX generation are hardly being sold. All models are EOL and production has been discontinued. We only sell from now on. There will be no new edition. It's no longer worth it for us to produce them.
The graphics card cooler market is quite fast-paced here.

Those temps are not normal, i would suggest you look if your system still has sufficient airflow. Are the dust filters clean? If so you may just need a repaste as it could be dried out.
