Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge CPU Water Block, Digital RGB, Black/Plexi

Looks amazing! Was worried wouldn’t fit am5 and was pleasantly surprised.

Set up and install with this waterblock was incredibly easy, and after everything was said and done it looked absolutely fantastic as I especially loved the way they LEDs looked in tandem with the Alphacool GPU waterblock I was using for the build. I had noticed that many people had stated that they had flow restriction issues with their build, but with using PrimoChill Vue pre-mix I couldn't notice any flow restrictions. Also I was using a Corsair Hydro 240mm and 360mm radiator with the Corsair XD5 pump/res combo with Corsair's soft tubing and fittings in tandem with the CPU and GPU waterblocks from Alphacool.

One of the better performing blocks on the market and now also one of the better looking blocks as well! Cools my Ryzen 7 3700X with ease. RGB effects are relatively smooth and the overall quality of the materials is good. My D5 didn't break a sweat pushing coolant through the block, and that's with a Nemesis 360 GTS in my loop as well. In my opinion, well worth the $80 I spent for it.

I never had issues with alpacool, easy installation and no issues.

So this block is extremely nice and very well made. But it is very restrictive. I was using the Bykski CPU block and had my D5 pump set at 50% and the fluid was flowing very very well. After installing this CPU block temps were great (30C at idle i7 8700K 4.9) but I did notice my fluid was just trickling out. I thought it was my D5 Pump so I ordered a new one, Nope same thing. Even at 100% pump speed the fluid barley trickles out. Temps are still great. Update: after having this block for about a week I decided to return it unfortunately. While the temps are fantastic 28-32C at idle the flow is just too restricted with what I have in my loop. I have 2 360mm radiators, a 360mm distribution plate a GPU block and this CPU block and the flow is just a trickle and really working my EK D5 pump. With a different CPU block flow is back to normal. If you have dual D5 pumps or only have 1 radiator or a small loop in your PC then I highly recommend this CPU Block.

Looks amazing. This is a very restrictive block. A single 360 radiator, 16mm hardline and a total of 4 45 degree bends is almost too much for my d5 pump when i use this water block.

Kein TR4 !! Das Produkt scheint Top zu sein aber da hat wohl mal wieder jemand seinen Job nicht gemacht...., langsam reichts mir 🤬 Diese inkompetenten....****
