The German brand Alphacool literally jumped into the computer cooling market, quickly winning the respect of experts with its line of Eisbaer processor LSSs. In addition to processor coolers at the beginning of this decade, Alphacool also launched an experimental line of Eiswolf “water coolers” designed to cool especially hot and powerful top-level video cards. The design of a typical Eiswolf LCS includes a full-coverage Aurora water block, a water pump, and a radiator on which multiple fans are mounted.


According to the manufacturer, the finished Eiswolf LCS is capable of removing about 300 W of thermal power from a video card and is useful in cases where stock cooling is completely unable to cope with its job. As a rule, these are near-top and top-end accelerators of the GeForce RTX 3080/4090 level, cooling of which is not at all a trivial task for a stock cooling system. In technical terms, Eiswolf “water tanks” resemble closed-cycle processor LSSs, in which the water pump, water block and radiator with fans are pre-fitted to each other, and the system does not require additional maintenance after assembly.

In 2023, the German brand introduced the second version of Eiswolf for video cards based on NVIDIA RTX 3000/4000 and Radeon RX 7000XT/XTX GPUs. The Eiswolf 2 is an expandable all-in-one water cooling system that is ready to install out of the box. Eiswolf 2 uses a water block with a copper chrome base and an acrylic cover, and in place of the outlet block there is a module with a built-in DC-LT 2 pump. The GPU is cooled by a 360 mm NexXxos radiator with three 120 mm Rise Aurora fans. The body is decorated with addressable lighting with support for all popular lighting control systems.
