Alphacool release their Eiswolf AIO GPU liquid coolers

so uhh everything else is cooled passively? Or am I missing something here?

Kind of... Except this version is larger so it also covers the vram, except it's not directly water cooling the vram. Same principle as the EVGA 10xx Hybrid series. However in a german review (Tom's Hardware) the card (a GTX 1080) actually was way cooler than the MSI GTX 1080 Seahawk. Not only that, the backside of the card was about 10C cooler.

As long you have a steady airflow the passive cooling of certain parts with the Eiswolf, is not going to be an issue, even with high overclocks.

Review in german.
 
I love how excited he gets. Honestly thought if I was going to watercool the graphics card as well, I would probably do a custom loop.

The price of this setup though I am sure isn't exactly hateful.

I've already ordered it. Ordered the GPX Eiswolf standalone block and a 240mm rad which all have been prepared with QDC and everything that is needed. Cost 183 euro if I recall. I find that price right in the sweet spot.

Custom loop is just too expensive for my taste and there's way too many accidents that can happen in assembly and testing. I just grew tired of tossing money down the drain, so this seems like the obvious choice for me.

I used to have a setup with an EK XLC 360 Predator and watercooled graphics card, yet the performance was mediocre at best. And it was still very expensive.
 
+ theres that PITA maintenance you have to do for custom loops. If I didnt have 3 way GFX for my main PC, I would just slap an AIO on and be done with it..
 
Love Alphacools products, Love supporting them too, Always recommend their products, My little way of being patriotic ^_^
