Water block + Heatsink Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A is a combined water block and heatsink designed for high-performance GPU cooling. Constructed from acrylic and nickel-plated copper, it pairs a transparent, illuminated top with a black accent finish to provide efficient heat transfer and a visually integrated cooling solution. The block measures 262.5 mm (width) x 130 mm (depth) x 24.5 mm (height) and weighs approximately 1.549 kg, offering a compact footprint while delivering targeted cooling to GPU core, memory and voltage regulation components. Integrated addressable digital RGB lighting runs along the length of the block to evenly illuminate the cooler and surrounding components.

Advantages

The combination of nickel-plated copper cooling plate and acrylic top improves thermal conductivity and durability while the reduced copper thickness and optimized internal flow increase contact with critical components for better heat extraction. Thinner thermal pads and a reduced block profile bring coolant closer to the heat sources, improving cooling performance for GPU core, memory and VRM. The embedded addressable RGB LEDs and beveled design enhance light diffusion so the block provides consistent illumination across its surface. Nickel plating has been improved to resist corrosion and flaking compared to earlier designs.

Suitable for

• High-performance GPU cooling in custom liquid-cooled PC builds
• Systems where compact, full-cover GPU cooling is required
• Enthusiasts wanting addressable RGB lighting integrated into the GPU cooler

How to use

Install the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A by following the manufacturer’s mounting procedure for the specific graphics card model. Remove the original cooling solution, clean the GPU die and surrounding components, and apply the recommended thermal pads and paste where required. Secure the water block to the graphics card using the supplied mounting hardware, making sure the inlet and outlet orientations match your loop configuration. Connect the block to your custom water-cooling loop with appropriate fittings and tubing; ensure all connections are leak-tested before powering the system.

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion-inhibiting coolant compatible with copper and acrylic components, follow Alphacool’s guidance on thermal pad thickness and mounting torque, and verify loop flow and leak-tightness before extended operation. Regularly inspect and maintain the loop to preserve performance and the integrity of the nickel plating and acrylic top.
