Alphacool Reveal Eisblock XPX CPU Water Block

Alphacool ha just revealed their gorgeous new XPX Eisblock CPU water blocks. The custom loop water cooling hardware comes in two versions, clear and satin. Promising high-performance cooling for your CPU, the Eisblock XPX certainly looks impressive. Given what we’ve seen from Alphacool in the past, we don’t doubt their claims on it being a great performer and high-quality product.

“Alphacool relies on their specially developed and patented ramp technology. This innovation significantly improves the cooling performance, which has already been shown in tests with the normal Eisblock XPX. It allows the water to flow evenly over all the cooling fins instead of just rushing through the middle section and nearly standing still at the edges.”

The block features a huge contact surface too, measuring 34 x 32mm, making it perfect for larger processors with up to eight cores, such as Ryzen.

Support for latest AM4 Socket!

“Alphacool is also the first water cooling manufacturer worldwide to dispense with Plexiglas and instead use transparent nylon, the material of the future, for both coolers. Nylon is a much more robust material than Plexiglas, meaning that the danger of cracks in the cooler is drastically reduced. Cracks can occur due to connectors being fastened too tightly or some other uneven strain on the Plexiglas.”

“In order to live up to today’s aesthetic standards, not only the surface of the clear cooler is polished, but also the inner cooling channels. This makes the Eisblock XPX clear as glass. Users looking for a unique effect need look no further than the satin version. Its milky, sandblasted surface gives the cooler a unique look when illuminated. Both versions have four 5mm LED holes on two sides, more than enough to make the cooler the focal point of the whole system.”

As you can see below, the block comes with support for all major sockets. It also comes with a standard G 1/4″ fitting, so integrating it into a wide range of cooling hardware should be pretty straight forward.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
