CPU cooling Alphacool Eisbaer Pro Aurora 360, TDP 350W, water

Alphacool Eisbaer Pro Aurora 360

The Alphacool Eisbaer Pro Aurora CPU AIO water cooler is a special development for processors with particularly large CPU dies. These include AMD Threadripper and Epyc processors as well as Intel processors for the LGA 3647 and LGA 4189 sockets.

Large cooling surface
The bottom of the cold plate covers the entire surface of the respective processors. The area of the cooling fins exceeds all known processor cores with an area of approximately 55 x 42 mm. This ensures direct coverage of all CPU hot spots and optimal cooling. The cooling fins are 0.4 mm thick with an optimum spacing of 0.4 mm. There are a total of 58 cooling fins on the bottom of the cooler. The bottom of the cooler is only 3mm thick, allowing heat to reach the water and dissipate as quickly as possible.

Copper radiator
As usual with Alphacool, the radiators are made of copper. Alphacool is the first manufacturer in the world to use copper for all plumbing components such as the front chambers, cooling fins and cooling channels to which the fins are soldered. The connection threads are made of brass for strength. In addition, the cooling fins are only lightly colored. On closer inspection, the copper is slightly translucent. A thick lacquer coating will result in a lower cooling capacity. The optimum density of the fins is 15 FPI. Therefore, the heatsink performs well even with low airflow. A fin density that is too high will require higher speed fans to achieve the same cooling power. A lower fin density would no longer benefit from fast spinning fans. Therefore, a golden mean was chosen.

True water cooling
The Eisbaer Pro Aurora consists almost entirely of actual water cooling components. Extremely strong and durable TPV hoses are used in corporate products for servers and workstations. The hose connections are also from Alphacool's Enterprise series and utilize the G1/4" standard. This makes the Eisbaer Pro Aurora fully compatible with all common water cooling products. The quick release mount allows the AIO to be easily expanded with additional components. The most important of these are the pre-filled heatsinks and the Eiswolf GPU AIO water cooling system.

The entire Eisbaer Aurora Pro cooler is equipped with addressable RGB digital LEDs. This really draws attention in the case. The fan used is the Aurora Rise fan with a diameter of 120mm. Due to the special blade design, the fan is extremely quiet and the addressable RGB LEDs provide bright illumination. The Alphacool Aurora Rise fan convinces with a max. static pressure of 3.17 mm/H2O and provides a max. airflow of 119.8 m3/h. PWM control allows the fan to be controlled over a wide speed range. In addition, it offers zero control. Thus, it can be regulated to 0 rpm and then start at approx. 350 rpm. Of course, all digital RGB LEDs can be controlled as desired. Depending on the controller, almost all effects are possible.

How to connect everything
The fans are usually controlled via a 4-pin PWM connector. The Y-shaped fan adapter included in the kit makes it easy to connect the fans to the motherboard. This allows you to control and regulate all fans through a single connector. Each fan has a 3-pin JST connector, including a Y-adapter for the LED lighting. This allows the fans to be connected directly together, and they can also be controlled simultaneously through the controller. A corresponding adapter is included for connection to a typical 3-pin 5 V connector. Alternatively, the digital RGB controller included in the kit can be used. The Eisbaer Aurora pump uses a 3-pin Molex connector. It can also be connected to the motherboard.

The Eisbaer Pro Aurora is a true multitalent. Expandable, fully compatible with DIY water cooling components and is the optimal solution for the most powerful processors on the market.
