Alphacool Eiswolf Update
On May 13th, I received an email from Alphacool support informing me of the possibility that my Eiswolf AIO for my Radeon VII may be defective. I was already aware of this because of a thread on Reddit and I'm assuming that the email was just a blanket email sent to every customer that bought one. The email instructed me to remove the cooler and await further instructions. I had no problems with my cooler, no damage, nothing. It's now been three weeks and I have not heard back from Alphacool. I've seen in other discussions around the internet, that some people have corresponded with Alphacool support and asked for a replacement or refund. A full refund, including return shipping, was usually offered. I figured that I'd hear from Alphacool in the weeks after receiving the intial email but as I stated before, that's not been the case. Today I decided to reach out to them and ask. Perhaps I got lucky with a good batch? Who knows? But upon sending my email to support (
info@alphacool.com) it bounced back because their mailbox is full. Fucking what??
Can someone tell me if it is likely Radeon VII will get PCIE-4.0 support with X570 launch, I know GPU does support it, but do you think the PCB does?
Someone else might be able to give you a more definitive answer but I believe that it's capable of PCI-E 4.0 because it's basically a rebranded Radeon VII. But, unless you're aware of something I'm not, I really don't see that making any difference at all, at least in terms of performance or bandwidth because the card can't even saturate PCI-E 3.0.
