## Long description

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora GPX‑N Acrylic Active Backplate for Geforce RTX 3080/3090 is an add‑on backplate made from nickel‑plated copper and acrylic that enables active water cooling of the card’s backside. Designed to work with Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acrylic GPX‑N GPU custom water blocks and certain Eiswolf 2 AIO models, the backplate increases overall cooling performance and includes integrated addressable RGB lighting. Physical dimensions correspond to typical GPX‑N layouts; the unit provides a G1/4" threaded option and a 5/3 mm hose option depending on variant and compatibility.
Advantages
The active backplate transfers heat from the PCB to the water loop using nickel‑plated copper for improved thermal conduction and a measurable reduction in GPU temperatures. Two connection variants offer flexible integration into existing cooling loops: G1/4" threaded ports for standard fittings or side ports for compact 5/3 mm tubing with an optional Alphacool MCX manifold. Integrated digital aRGB LEDs run along the block sides, providing adjustable illumination via a 3‑pin JST connector and compatible controllers or motherboards.
Suitable for
Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX‑N RTX 3090/3080 Gaming or Eagle GPU custom water coolers (with backplate)
Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO - 360mm RTX 3080/3090 Gaming/Eagle with backplate (see compatibility notes)
Custom water‑cooling loops where additional backside cooling for RTX 3080/3090 is required
Key specifications
Material: nickel‑plated copper base with acrylic top
Connection variants: G1/4" internal thread (top) or 5/3 mm side ports (requires Alphacool MCX manifold for compact routing)
Lighting: 6 addressable digital aRGB LEDs, 5 V, JST 3‑pin connector
Compatibility: Geforce RTX 3080/3090 GPX‑N form‑factor; compatible with listed Alphacool GPX‑N and some Eiswolf 2 AIO variants
MPN / EAN reference: Alphacool article family (see product data for exact numbers)
How to use
Install the backplate in combination with a compatible Alphacool Eisblock Aurora GPX‑N water block or a compatible Eiswolf 2 AIO model following the manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Choose the connection variant that fits your loop: use G1/4" fittings and appropriate hoses or hard tubing for the top ports, or use 5/3 mm tubing plus the Alphacool MCX 2x manifold for a space‑saving side‑port setup. Connect the aRGB JST 3‑pin cable to a compatible controller or motherboard header to enable lighting control.
Usage recommendations
Verify model compatibility before installation: the 5/3 mm side‑port option is only compatible with Eisblock Aurora Acryl/ES Acetal GPX‑N GPU custom water coolers and cannot be used with Eiswolf 2 AIOs. Use appropriate G1/4" fittings and ensure leak testing after integrating the backplate into your cooling loop.
