Hi guys,
I'm about to purchase an Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acetal GPX-N RTX 3090/3080 with Backplate (Reference)10667 directly from this site, for my Inno3D 3080 X4. But I've seen KitGurus youtube review (
) showing that the vram temps are really high due to the thermal pads don't make contact to the backplate (2mm pads). He say that the newer revisions will have 3mm pads, in the kit but when I look at the the manual https://www.alphacool.com/download/1020333_Eisblock_Aurora_Acetal_Gpx_N_3080_Manual.pdf, it only shows that 2mm pads are included? Will the pads be included as extra in the package or hasn't this change happened yet?
Also on their written review they write (link to article here):
And a bit further down they write:
Has the issue been fixed, or can I except the same vram temps on my Inno3D 3080 X4 card with the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora?
I will be purchasing it together with the "Alphacool Eissturm Hurricane Copper 45 2x140mm - Komplettset", will it be sufficient for a Ryzen 7 3700X and the 3080?
Hope someone can give some clarification, thanks in advance!

Alphacool sent us some 3mm thermal pads to replace the 2mm backplate pads from the kit. After re-testing with the 3mm pads fitted to the backplate, there was no significant improvement in VRAM temperature.
And a bit further down they write:
Using the Alphacool block, the VRAM temperature was not above the recommended operating range, but with our Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity OC card, VRAM temperature was excessive. KitGuru also tested a Palit RTX 3080 with a different sample of the same Alphacool block and similar behaviour was observed with that block too. However, this block again was an early sample. Alphacool has suggested that it will try to replicate the issue internally and investigate the problem, so we will update this article if we hear more.
