4. Configuración e instalación
Follow these steps carefully to install your Alphacool Eisblock Aurora water block and backplate.
- Prepare the Graphics Card:
Carefully remove the stock cooler and backplate from your AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX reference graphics card. Clean the GPU die and memory chips thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residual thermal paste or pads.
- Aplicar almohadillas térmicas:
Apply the provided thermal pads to the designated areas on the graphics card PCB, covering the VRMs, VRAM, and other heat-generating components as indicated in the product diagram. Ensure proper contact and coverage.
- Aplicar compuesto térmico:
Apply a small amount of Alphacool Subzero thermal compound to the center of the GPU die. A pea-sized amount is typically sufficient. The water block's jet plate design will help spread it evenly upon installation.
- Mount the Water Block:
Carefully align the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora water block with the mounting holes on the graphics card PCB. Gently lower the water block onto the GPU, ensuring even pressure. Secure the water block using the provided screws, tightening them in a diagonal pattern to ensure even contact pressure. Do not overtighten.

- Connect Fittings and Tubing:
Install your G1/4" fittings into the water block ports. Connect your custom loop tubing, ensuring all connections are secure. Perform a leak test for at least 24 hours with the system powered off before powering on your computer.
- Conectar iluminación RGB (opcional):
If your water block features digital addressable RGB LEDs, connect the included RGB adapter cable to a compatible motherboard header or RGB controller. Refer to your motherboard manual for proper connection and software control.
