Alphacool today announces the first active backplate for GeForce RTX 3080/3090 graphics cards from Alphacool. The Eisblock Aurora GPX-N Acrylic Active Backplate is the perfect upgrade for Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora Acrylic/Acetal GPX-N GPU custom water coolers as well as Alphacool's Eiswolf 2 GPU All-in-One solutions. With the help of the backplate, the graphics memory on the back of GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards can now also be actively water-cooled. With the help of 7 W/mk thermal pads, the active backplate has direct contact with the graphics memory to be cooled and can cool it more efficiently. This results in a significant increase in cooling performance.

Like all products from Alphacool's Eisblock Aurora GPX acrylic product line, the active backplate also features brilliant illumination. Six addressable digital RGB LEDs are embedded directly within the cooler. The effect is an illumination that encompasses the entire cooling block and creates unique lighting effects. The digital aRGB LED lighting is connected via a JST 3-pin connector and can be controlled with a digital RGB controller or a digital RGB-capable mainboard.
