What customers say
Enthusiasts overwhelmingly praise the Alphacool Eisblock for its stunning thermal performance, delivering significant temperature drops ideal for overclocking. The integrated Aurora RGB lighting on the clear acrylic top is a major visual highlight, greatly enhancing custom builds. Users also appreciate the included backplate for both aesthetics and passive cooling. Build quality, featuring a nickel plated copper base, meets premium expectations. While the specialized installation demands patience and precision, making it challenging for beginners, the consensus is clear: the exceptional performance and visual payoff strongly recommend this block for owners of the specific Sapphire Nitro+ card.
Know before you buy
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for the Sapphire Nitro+ version of the Radeon RX 6800 XT. It will not fit reference cards or other custom PCB layouts.
The included aluminum backplate primarily provides structural support and aesthetic coverage. While it helps with passive heat dissipation, it does not feature active liquid cooling channels.
The block uses a standard 5V 3-pin JST connector. It is compatible with most motherboard aRGB headers or dedicated lighting controllers that support 5V addressable LED strips.
Yes, the block features four standard G1/4 threads, making it compatible with the vast majority of custom water cooling fittings on the market.
To maintain the integrity of the nickel plating, use a high-quality coolant and avoid mixing metals in your loop. Periodic flushing of your system every 6 to 12 months is recommended to prevent buildup.
The 0.6 mm fin thickness is engineered to balance surface area for heat transfer with flow resistance. This ensures that your pump doesn't have to work excessively hard while still effectively pulling heat away from the GPU core.
