COMPATIBILITY CHECK

Before starting the cooler assembly, compare your card with the pictures in our configurator. To do so, visit https://www.hwconfig.com and search for your graphics card or  cooler model. For a definitive identification, you can also compare the PCB number.
The cooler was designed for a special PCB layout.
Occasionally, graphics card manufacturers may revise the design of their card slightly, causing the cooler not to fit on later models. During assembly, please make sure taller  parts have enough space around them and that the cooler does not damage your graphics card.
Alphacool International GmbH is not liable for assembly errors occurring due to negligence, such as selecting an incompatible cooler.

PREPARE GRAPHICS CARD

Put the hardware on an antistatic mat. Begin dismantling the original cooler. Depending on the structure of the cooler, remove the screws at the back of the card and carefully  unhook the fan connector first. If the original cooler uses thermal glue, extreme care should be taken as you can easily damage parts. Pick up all the items carefully.  Next, clean the hardware of thermal paste or pad residues with a solvent (e.g. isopropanol alcohol).

  1. Clean the contact surfaces on the bottom side of the cooler with Isopropanol alcohol or similar. The surface must be free of contaminants.
    Remove the protective foils from the thermal pads and place the pads on the backplate as shown.

  2. If you use the Active Backplate for the 3080, use the pads of the original Alphacool graphics card cooler. You need for the pads (see above) No.1 (15x15x1mm), No.2 (15x51x1mm) and No.3 (15x51x1mm) = 2mm thickness and for No.4 (30x30x2mm) = 3mm thickness.

  4. To control the digital RGB lighting, connect the 3-pin female connector to the 3-pin male connector of the graphics card LED. You can connect additional digital RGB  LEDs to the remaining 3-pin male connector. As shown, you have two installation options.
