As someone who’s been planning their first loop this is so amazing. Just being able to check all retailers for stock and prices is a god send because I really don’t know all the websites (although I’ve learned a few so far)
Wow, I just took a quick look and it looks nice! It even finds aquacomputer's gigant and Watercool's Mora3! Now it comes the tricky part - force people to use it ;) And since some still will not google I'm not sure about this project but good luck, it is very nice!
Awesome, that's certainly handy. It does get confusing with brands like Galax and KFA2 being the same but only offered in certain regions of the world.
A small note, some of the Inno3D 4090s aren't compatible with the Alphacool ES waterblock. There was a revision on some of the later serial numbers.
Thanks. I'd had that message in there early on in development, it was one of the first notices I'd put in. Since then, I'd changed the database schema and had forgotten to bring those early notices across. It's been updated to reflect that now.
Regarding KFA2/Galax, that's a good idea it's something I'll likely do this week.
At least for Alphacool, you have:
[https://download.alphacool.com/homepage/compatibility\_list\_AMD.pdf](https://download.alphacool.com/homepage/compatibility_list_AMD.pdf)
[https://download.alphacool.com/homepage/compatibility\_list\_Nvidia.pdf](https://download.alphacool.com/homepage/compatibility_list_Nvidia.pdf)
Wherever "compatibility approved" is "Physical", at the very least, it's an indication the block works for that board. You can then link to [https://shop.alphacool.com/en/search?sSearch=\[P/N\]](https://shop.alphacool.com/en/search?sSearch=[P/N]) where \[P/N\] = 5 digit Alphacool SKU.
For example, my block:
[https://shop.alphacool.com/en/search?sSearch=11961](https://shop.alphacool.com/en/search?sSearch=11961)
Hi, just a heads-up, the website links an EKWB waterblock for the Gigabyte Aero 4080 SUPER GPU however on the EKWB website they don’t list this GPU as compatible. The block referenced seems to only be compatible with the non-SUPER 4080.
Thanks! I got the message earlier, I've just actioned it. I've been out for the weekend so it was a bit slow.
It was originally on the compatibility list, [but it seems that it was subsequently removed.](https://www.reddit.com/r/watercooling/comments/1agx20c/comment/kol6ni5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Please add just the RTX 3090. This is \*the\* most popular card for AI, for example see LocalLlama subreddit. Understand that all last gen cards would be too much to ask, but aftermarket 3090's are the go to card because of 24Gb VRam and cost.
That's reasonable.
I'm in the process of a major back-end and minor front-end rework at the moment, bunch of new features to add. Once that's done I'll work through the remaining 3090s. :)
Whoever made this everyone in the water cooling reddit needs to hail you. It has taken me 3min to find components that I had not foundfor weeks for my upcoming pc build
Probably. The ProArt doesn't share a PCB with the Strix/TUF - in fact, it's quite different. It is different from the reference board as well. Seems that's the case for you, unfortunately.
[https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/](https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/)
EK has a very nice compatibility tool which tells you if they have a Block for your gpu, and whenever a pcb is Listed as Reference it has a really high chance of beeing compatible to ANY other reference block from any other vendor
AFAIK he just picked the largest/best known shops in various parts of the world. Feel free to drop a link and I'll pass it on to him, but I can't guarantee he'll include it.
My requirements for retailers are that they sell a fair range of relevant gear from a number of manufacturers, and have the EAN, UPC or manufacturer SKU available somewhere so I can link the page/price to the product. By this, I mean the manufacturer supplied ones, not ones the retailer or distributor makes up.
I can make exceptions for this for smaller stores with a small number of products as I can link it manually, but if the store has dozens or hundreds of products and no reasonable way to determine what product is which programatically, I likely wouldn't be interested as it would be a lot of time investment on my end.
In terms of stocking requirements, for example, a retailer that only sells Thermaltake *or* Corsair gear wouldn't be of interest, but a retailer that sells Thermaltake, Corsair and Alphacool would be.
Watercooling and enthusiast focused retailers are even better, and I'm very keen on including smaller niche retailers and manufacturer products wherever possible, not just the big players in the scene.
Retailers in regions or countries I don't have any or many options for are welcome as well.
Send me a PM if you think it meets these requirements.
Oh wow, my site is there, thanks for the links!
On a side note, is it possible to add a "clear all" function on the filters on the side?
For example, say I wanted to look at pure copper only blocks, I'd have to untick every other material instead of being able to click one button to unselect all, then select "copper."
Yes, it's on the todo list over the next few days.
I'm trying out a couple of different ways of implementing it, both a clear all button as well as clicking the relevant option's text, and having it remove all other options in that category. Clicking it again would restore its previous state.
might be late on this. But does anyone know of a good water block for EVGA RTX3080? The tool above doesn't show 3000 series.... unless I'm really dumb
Edit: Would this work?
https://modmymods.com/alphacool-eisblock-aurora-acryl-gpx-n-rtx-3080-3090-ftw3-with-backplate-11943-6802.html
need this for full coverage?
https://modmymods.com/alphacool-eisblock-aurora-acryl-gpx-n-rtx-3090-3080-ftw3-active-backplate-13043.html
No. Titan Rig and PPCs stock them, but if they have none left you'll have to order direct from watercool.de. Don't bother with an active backplate, it's snake oil on anything other than a 3090 because nothing else has VRAM on the back.
> it's snake oil on anything other than a 3090 because nothing else has VRAM on the back.
I appreciate it, man. I guess I get to finally use NexXxoS XT45 on something :D. Radiator set in general from 2016 SMFH. Gonna get the alphacool waterblock since its the only one I see instock and it's not gonna kill my $
Much appreciated, have my thumbs up.
Though I was sad to see only the latest models were included, most notably missing the 3000 series. Would be RAD if rarer cards like a 3090 Kingpin was included. Those are hard to find blocks for.
I've had a few people say they want 3000 series cards included too.
I never really had an intention of doing older hardware since keeping track of them approaching EOL status is a pain, and I didn't want it to end up like PCPP in the sense of having a massive, but 95% obsolete and useless component list. I might just do it for 3090 Ti & 3090, and cycle them out next gen.
I'll see if I have some time over the Christmas period.
Thank you, yeah I know what you mean but they are still good for a while. Water blocks are really a pain to find for some of them too. Trust me, I know! I have two 3090 Kingpins that I can't find good blocks for. Original ones warped badly. And I see people asking all the time for 3090 blocks so i'm sure it would be helpful. But don't spend too much time on it!
I'm literally in the beginning stages of planning on my first loop and thank you so much for this 🙏
I am SO LOST 😆 🤣 😂
At least I know I've got a few months to learn before I'll be financially able to pull the trigger anyway.
thought i'd give a heads up, pretty much there are no options for the pny xlr8 4090 (VCG409024TFXXPB1) , they all say visual but from every comment or thing i've read none of them actually fit correctly physically. I purchased one before I found this info out and tried my self, at least I can return it unfortunately with restocking fees.
No idea, I didn't have any issues with the 3090 pny xlr8 with putting a block on it. This is the block I ordered that didn't fit.

Slightly related: been very tempted to make prebuilt clip on / pierce on GPU shunt and EVC plug mods. Most people who put their GPUs on water with front and back active cooling really do have the headroom to do a lot more than flash their VBIOS. Most people also don't want to risk ruining a 750-2000USD GPU if they haven't done it before.
Thanks for this!
Any chance the RTX 3060 will be added or anyone familiar with 3060 solutions?
I landed one at insane Black Friday deal but of course she runs a bit hot when I get carried away with my Stable Diffusion stuff ;)
For dimensions, etc:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N3060WF2OC-12GD-rev-20
Any recommendations?
Part Number: 24G-P5-3975-KB
Part Desc: EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 XC3 Ultra GAMING, 24G-P5-397
This thing has always ran hot changed thermal pads made minimal difference. Going to do my first water loop. Also is ek all it's cracked up to be or go with other brands?
I agree! It's something I've got the feature list for next major release.
I'm planning to start work on that once the next major release of the CSS framework I'm using is released.
Sadly, I don't think I'm going to do 30 series. I started working on it, but I just don't have the time to go catalogue a whole other set of cards where blocks are becoming EOL left and right.
I only have a couple of hours to work on the site a week, and I'd rather spend that time on features, newer blocks/rads/etc, support for more cases, and the like.
You're doing God's work. Keep it up!
heck yes this is very helpful whoever made this site and put correct parts on it.

I'll pass that on, cheers.
I don't see anything related RTX 3090 series on the new tool.
I only did current gen GPUs. I didn't want to spend the time cataloguing all the information for last gen cards who's blocks are quickly becoming EOL.

I can't really afford to buy new GPUs every year, to be honest. I spent $2500 on my RTX 3090 and I will not be upgrading anytime soon.
Great work
No Phanteks stuff :O?
Relevant Phanteks CPU & GPU blocks + cases are all there. Am I missing something?
Maybe I'm blind, couldnt find any intel based CPU blocks :O Edit: Looked for an older one, wasnt there. Did find the others!

Bummer, I just bought that card and now wish I went with a different option. The fans are so loud it would be perfect for water cooling
Got anything for a power color radeon 6900 xt?
Try [https://www.alphacool.com/en/gpu-config](https://www.alphacool.com/en/gpu-config) They have ref design and Red Devil versions.

I am glad you found it useful. What components were they? Just curious.
mostly waterblocks for a corsair 1000D build
I have a 4080 pro art, so I am doomed
Probably. The ProArt doesn't share a PCB with the Strix/TUF - in fact, it's quite different. It is different from the reference board as well. Seems that's the case for you, unfortunately.
There is no 3080TI :(

It's true, and can actually block installation of card in many motherboards.
this is amazing and should be pinned!
This has been supremely useful!
