Alphacool Eisbaer custom loop

[Naminator87]

I've recently installed a Alphacool Eisbaer 360mm AIO, the temps are astonishingly good and I want to expand on the Eisbaer system, I've never done a custom Loop before, and just need some advice that's constructive and helpful.

The problem is I wanted to put a prefilled Eiswolf GPU Cooler on my Asus ROG Strix 1080 graphics card, but for some unknown reason they don't do one for this very popular card, I was hoping to utilizes the quick connect system of the Eisbaer AIO Hoses.

So once I have installed the extra rad as I have a z270 Maximus IX formula Mobo with a VRM block preinstalled so this will be added in to the loop also along with the GPU Block. So I ask what is the best way to fill this loop because it don't use a standard res and pump? Should I use the fill port on the block? Or should I install a fill port fitting on my 360mm rad? All my fitting are G1/4 on the Eisbaer and my VRM block, what hosing should I use as in size? is it still G1/4?

And I want to use UV Red in the loop any recommendations?

Thanks Guys

Pretty sure they do one for the Strix. Have you emailed them?

I have just created a custom loop using the eisbear. I also have 2 graphics cards 2x360 and 1x240 rad.

Filling it up was a mission but what I did was screw a compression fitting with a small length of hose into the fill port on the eisbear. I then used a funnel and slowly poured liquid in- switched on the pump for a couple of seconds rince and repeat.

Took around 30 minutes to fill. (although 10 of those minutes were spent securing a fitting that was leaking because I didn't screw it in tight enough )


As Tom said in his video about his custom loop using the eisbear and eiswolf bleeding the system is a mission. I had to tilt and push round my system hard to get rid of all the large bubbles. (took around 2 hours)

I have left it overnight and came to it this morning and although there are a few micro bubbles the rest seem fine. I have left it running while I am at work.

When I get back tonight I will finally plug everything back in and hope I haven't blown anything up

Hehe 30 mins only? I recently did a complete loop for a friend with a Swiftech H220-X and an extra radiator. Took nearly 3 hours just to fill it up! I'm NOT doing that again
