Alphacool Eisbaer 360 CPU AiO with GPU?

[Cens]

Hi guys
I have an Alphacool Eisbaer 360 CPU AiO and an AMD Radeon 6950xt from XFX. I have noticed that the fans are very loud when gaming. I have had the GPU for about 8 months. I usually played games where the graphics performance was not that high. But since I started playing games that require more power, the fans are very loud (I know the GPU doesn't have the best cooling). So I wanted to ask if I can cool the CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 7600x) and the GPU with a radiator with my AiO which is expandable or if it makes sense at all.

Hello

Yes you can expand your watercooling as the Eisbaer has removables fittings and tubes

But in order to cool CPU+GPU the AIO pump may be too weak, so either

- you need to get a GPU waterblock and an extra pump+res to add to the loop

- or check if Alphacool has an Eiswolf GPU cooler for your card model, it has an integrated pump and you can just add it to your setup

 

I did both of that on my previous setup, had an Eisbaer 280, got an Eiswolf for my 3080 and added it, then added a pump and res...

Worked well but didn't look great, looked like some kraken lol
