what do you all think a good upgrade from a Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora would be and is it worth getting a new block
spec me a water block

Why do you want to replace it
Would be my question
Performance or aesthetics
Those should be deciding factors
As to whether its worth it
A quick look at reviews it seems decent enough Performance

both the rgb has stop working on it and since iv done a full aesthetics upgrade on my pc i was looking at changing the block looks ugly without the rgb. so if im going to get a new one i want a better one

There's a fair bit of choice
Though some of the new ek ones for example
Are silly prices
I am using a raystorm neo
But if I were to change it probably would look at
Ek quantum Velocity version 2
Acrylic top version if want lots of rgb on it
I do like that the mounting hardwares hidden
Unlike my current block with 4 obvious thumbscrews

Is that the one there were issues
With rubber gasket?
My memory isn't what it used to be
Hopefully if it was they have revised the design now
I had the same issue with their XPX as well, rubber gasket failed. Thankfully OCUK refunded me as it was literally within a few weeks of ownership.

Thanks for confirming
I haven't quite lost all of my marbles
................................................Yet
Have they made revisions to them?
Or offered current owners a free different gasket?

Not a clue mate, haven't gone back to alphacool for anything since the cpu block died and then my QD fittings died as well.
Edit: Actually the only alphacool thing im using right now is a mini micro RGB controller cos its small and inconspicuous so i can hide it easily
. Ironic its got nothing to do with watercooling.
