Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO GPU Cooler & Backplate for RTX 4090 Founders Edition

1. Вступ

The Alphacool Eiswolf 2 is a full-cover All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooling solution specifically designed for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card. This unit integrates an Alphacool GPX Eisblock Aurora GPX water cooler, a pump unit, and a 360mm NexXxoS ST30 full copper radiator. It provides comprehensive cooling for the GPU, graphics memory, voltage converters, and other critical components requiring active thermal management.

The integrated pump unit houses the DC-LT 2 pump, an improved and quieter version of the DC-LT Low Noise Ceramic Pump, ensuring efficient coolant circulation with minimal acoustic output. The full copper radiator from the NexXxoS series offers superior heat dissipation compared to aluminum alternatives, contributing to optimal cooling performance.

4. Налаштування та встановлення

Цей розділ містить загальний оглядview. Refer to the detailed graphical instructions provided with your product for specific steps.

4.1. Підготовка

• Переконайтеся, що вашу систему вимкнено та від’єднано від мережі.
• Carefully remove your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card from your PC.
• Disassemble the stock cooler from the graphics card, following the manufacturer's guidelines. Clean the GPU die and memory chips of any residual thermal paste.

4.2. Installing the Water Block

• Apply thermal paste to the GPU die.
• Place the appropriate thermal pads on the memory modules and VRM components as indicated in the detailed manual.
• Carefully align and mount the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora GPX water cooler onto the graphics card. Secure it with the provided screws, ensuring even pressure.

4.4. Встановлення радіатора та вентилятора

• Mount the 360mm radiator and its three fans into an available 360mm fan mount location within your PC case. Ensure proper airflow direction.
• Connect the fan cables to the provided splitter and then to an appropriate fan header on your motherboard or fan controller.
• Connect any RGB cables from the fans and water block to your motherboard's RGB header or a dedicated RGB controller.

4.5. Final Assembly and Leak Test

• Install the assembled graphics card back into your PC's PCIe slot.
• Connect the pump's 3-pin power connector to a suitable fan header (e.g., AIO_PUMP or CPU_FAN) on your motherboard.
• Perform a thorough leak test. Power on the pump (without powering on the rest of the system) and inspect all connections for any signs of leakage. Allow the system to run for at least 24 hours during the leak test.
• Once leak testing is complete and no leaks are detected, power on your system.

5. Інструкція з експлуатації

The Alphacool Eiswolf 2 operates automatically once installed and powered. The DC-LT 2 pump continuously circulates coolant through the system, transferring heat from the GPU to the radiator, where it is dissipated by the fans.

• Моніторинг: Use system monitoring software to observe GPU temperatures and fan speeds. Ensure temperatures remain within safe operating limits during load.
• Контроль вентилятора: Adjust fan curves in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or through software to balance cooling performance and noise levels.
• Контроль RGB: If connected, manage the Digital RGB lighting effects using your motherboard's RGB software or a compatible controller.

6. Технічне обслуговування

Регулярне технічне обслуговування забезпечує оптимальну продуктивність та довговічність вашої системи рідинного охолодження.

• Очищення від пилу: Periodically clean dust from the radiator fins and fans using compressed air. Ensure fans are held stationary during cleaning to prevent damage.
• Візуальний огляд: Regularly inspect tubing, fittings, and the water block for any signs of leaks, kinks, or coolant discoloration.
• Заміна охолоджувальної рідини: While AIOs are generally maintenance-free regarding coolant, if the system is opened for modification or repair, use only compatible liquid cooling fluids.

7. Вирішення проблем

• High GPU Temperatures:
  • Check fan operation: Ensure all radiator fans are spinning correctly and are connected.
  • Verify pump operation: Listen for pump noise or check monitoring software to confirm the pump is running.
  • Inspect thermal paste/pads: Ensure proper application and contact between the water block and GPU/components.
  • Radiator airflow: Ensure the radiator is not obstructed by dust or other components.
• No RGB Lighting:
  • Check RGB cable connections to the motherboard or controller.
  • Ensure RGB software is installed and configured correctly.
• Незвичайні шуми:
  • Fan noise: Check for obstructions or loose fan blades.
  • Pump noise: A slight hum is normal. Excessive noise might indicate air in the loop (which should settle over time) or a faulty pump.
• Витоки:
  • Immediately power off the system and disconnect power.
  • Identify the source of the leak.
  • Contact Alphacool support for assistance. Do not attempt to repair without guidance.
