Alphacool presents two Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A blocks for the ASUS Strix/TUF and XFX Speedster MERC 319 graphics cards. The blocks offer outstanding cooling performance thanks to the full cover design. The new backplate, which is included with the coolers, also contributes to this. This stabilizes the graphics card and ensures an even contact pressure of the cooler. The cold plates are made of solid nickel-plated copper. The coolers cover all relevant components such as voltage converters and graphics memory.
