Alphacool Eisstation 80 DC-LT Reservoir

Safety Instructions

⚠ Read the safety instructions before starting the installation.

• Not suitable for children under 6 years (contains small parts which could be swallowed).
• Do not run any cooling components without ensuring that cooling liquid is flowing through the cooling system. Coolers operated without coolant can become very hot. Caution: Burn Hazard!
• Coolers that have no coolant flowing through them can destroy the computer hardware. When switching on the hardware, always make sure that the pump is working.
• Please note when tightening the connectors or fittings, no tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, or wrenches should be used. All plastic products or metal threaded connections, which are linked with plastic parts, are easily over-loaded with tools. Cracking or other damages incurred in this way, as well as damage from leaking coolant, are not covered under the warranty!
• Use only connectors with a sealing o-ring. When using a sealing ring a firm tightening with the hand is enough. Your instruction manual will clearly refer to the use of tools in exceptional cases.
• If you have not done so yet, please check your hardware and cooling system (tightness, pump function and fans). This will minimize time spent searching for possible problems. ALPHACOOL INTERNATIONAL GMBH accepts no liability on the warranty of the manufacturer of the electronic components. The assembly of the cooling system takes place at your own risk.
• The screws should not be tightened too firmly. If you tighten the screws excessively, the knurled nuts can loosen and the cooler's uniform pressure is no longer guaranteed.
• Fasten the connections of your choice to the cooler. Do not use tools such as wrenches for fastening the connections. Connectors with 8mm long threads may stop the flow.
• We recommend a tightness test before assembling/installing the cooler. The water pressure in the water cooling loop can be at a maximum of 0.8 bar. DO NOT use tools on the connectors.
• Ensure that the cooler is touching all components to be cooled through thermal grease and thermal pads.
• Only use distilled water or ALPHACOOL CAPE KELVIN CATCHER in your cooling circuit. Damage caused by unsuitable coolant is not covered by the warranty!

Specified normal operation: All ALPHACOOL INTERNATIONAL GMBH cooling components are constructed and licensed for ALPHACOOL INTERNATIONAL GMBH computer construction parts. The warranty expires in case of misuse.

Technical Details

Dimensions (in mm)

Without stand supports:

Diagrams show the reservoir's dimensions. Key measurements include height (77.00 mm, 51.30 mm, 39.80 mm), width (50.64 mm, 25.32 mm), and depth (25.70 mm, 25.00 mm). Inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) ports are clearly marked.

Installation

Installation of the Pump

First, remove the lower cover using M3x5 screws.

Screw the pump with an O-ring to the bottom of the reservoir using M3x8 screws.

Route the pump cable with the rubber kink protection through the opening in the pump casing.

Re-attach the lower cover using M3x5 screws.

Connecting Pump

The DC-LT pump is powered via a 3-pin connector. Plug the connector onto your motherboard's pump header.

Note: Some motherboards have dedicated pump sockets. If only fan sockets are available, ensure the total power does not exceed 10W.

Mounting in Case

The reservoir can be mounted in the case using a Velcro mat or stand supports.

1. Mounting with Velcro: Attach the upper Velcro mat to the reservoir cover and the lower Velcro mat to the case.

2. Mounting with stand supports and decouplers: There are two ways to mount the stand supports.

Attach the decouplers with nuts to the stand supports. Then mount the reservoir to the case using M4x6 screws.

Alphacool recommends using vibration dampers for case mounting.

Tubing and Commissioning

• Connect the tubes to the threaded inputs marked 'IN' (inlet) and 'OUT' (outlet).
• The pump casing inlet must be closed using the G1/4" plug and the plug key.
• Fill the reservoir with coolant using a funnel through the upper fillport.

Recommendation: Use clear coolants from Alphacool (CKC or Eiswasser Crystal - no UV) or pure distilled/osmosis-filtered water. After initial use, the water level may drop and require refilling.

Replace Reservoir

Alphacool also offers a transparent top for the "Eisstation 80 DC-LT" reservoir.

Scope of delivery for the transparent top (available separately): EISSTATION 80 DC-LT CLEAR TOP (Art. No. : 15374)

• 1x Reservoir (top)
• 1x G1" sealing plug
• 4x M4x40 screws
• 1x O-ring
• 1x Bubble down filter

To replace the top, unscrew the 4 M4x40 screws from the old top. Mount the transparent reservoir top using the same principle.
