Active Backplate Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-N for RTX 3090/3080 FTW3 (13043)

This product is an active backplate designed for high-end graphics cards like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 FTW3 models. It is specifically made to enhance the cooling efficiency of these GPUs by allowing active water cooling on the backside, which is typically not cooled in standard setups. The backplate is constructed from nickel-plated copper, ensuring excellent thermal conductivity and durability. It is compatible with Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora Acrylic GPX-N custom water coolers and certain AIO models, making it a valuable addition for users looking to optimize their GPU cooling performance.

The backplate offers two connection options to integrate it into an existing watercooling loop. The first option uses G1/4" internal threads on the top side of the cooler, allowing for flexible tubing setups. The second option uses 5/3mm hoses and requires an MCX 2x manifold for a more compact installation. This flexibility ensures that users with different case layouts or cooling system designs can easily incorporate the backplate without major modifications. However, it is important to note that this backplate is only compatible with specific Alphacool coolers and not with all AIO models.

The design of the backplate includes six addressable RGB LEDs along its sides, providing a visually appealing lighting effect that can be controlled via a JST 3-pin connector. This allows users to synchronize the lighting with their motherboard or a dedicated RGB controller, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of their build. The overall build quality and attention to detail make this backplate suitable for enthusiasts who prioritize both performance and visual customization in their PC builds.

Installation requires some basic knowledge of watercooling systems, as users need to connect the backplate properly to their existing loop. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines carefully to avoid leaks or improper cooling. The product comes with all necessary components for integration, but additional tubing or manifolds may be required depending on the chosen setup. This makes it ideal for users who are already familiar with custom watercooling setups and looking to enhance their GPU cooling capabilities.
