4. Configurare și instalare
Follow these steps carefully to install your Alphacool Eisblock Aurora water cooler.
4.1 Pregătire
- Gather all necessary tools: Phillips head screwdriver, isopropyl alcohol, lint-free cloth.
- Carefully remove your graphics card from your computer.
- Disassemble the stock cooler from your graphics card, following the manufacturer's instructions. Clean the GPU die and memory chips thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove all traces of old thermal paste and pads.
4.2 Applying Thermal Materials
- Apply the provided thermal pads to the designated areas on the water block, corresponding to the VRMs and memory modules of your graphics card. Refer to the diagram in the full manual for precise placement.
- Apply a small amount of Alphacool Subzero thermal paste to the center of the GPU die. A pea-sized amount is generally sufficient.

- Install the graphics card with the water block into your motherboard's PCIe slot.
- Connect your liquid cooling loop's tubing to the inlet and outlet ports of the water block. Ensure all fittings are securely tightened.
- Fill your liquid cooling system with coolant and perform a leak test for at least 24 hours before powering on your computer.
5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
Once installation is complete and leak testing is successful:
- Porniți computerul.
- Monitor coolant temperatures and GPU temperatures using appropriate software.
- Adjust pump speed and fan curves in your system's BIOS or through software to achieve desired cooling performance and noise levels.
- Configure RGB lighting effects using your motherboard's software or a dedicated RGB controller.
6. Întreținere
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your liquid cooling system.
- Înlocuirea lichidului de răcire: Replace the coolant in your loop every 6-12 months, or as recommended by your coolant manufacturer.
- Spălare sistem: Periodically flush your entire liquid cooling system to remove any accumulated debris or residue.
- Inspecție vizuală: Regularly inspect tubing, fittings, and the water block for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or blockages.
- Îndepărtarea prafului: Keep your PC case and radiators free of dust to maintain efficient heat dissipation.
7. Depanare
Dacă întâmpinați probleme, consultați următorii pași comuni de depanare:
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| High GPU Temperatures | Insufficient thermal paste/pads, poor contact, air bubble in loop, pump failure, restricted flow. | Reapply thermal paste/pads, bleed air from loop, check pump operation, inspect for blockages. |
| Liquid Leakage | Loose fittings, damaged tubing, faulty O-ring. | Tighten all fittings, inspect tubing for damage, replace O-rings if necessary. |
| Iluminarea RGB nu funcționează | Incorrect connection, faulty RGB header, software issue. | Check RGB cable connection, try a different RGB header, update/reinstall RGB software. |
