Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Pro CPU Waterblock, Nickel Copper Base, Acrylic Cover, Digital aRGB, For AMD & Intel (AM4/AM5/TR4/LGA1700/2066/3647/4677), 147 Fins | 12950

Eisblock XPX Aurora Pro CPU Waterblock With the Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Pro, Alphacool offers a CPU water cooler specifically designed for processors with particularly large cores. This currently includes AMD Threadripper models and Intel processors for the LGA 2066 socket and the LGA 3647 server socket in the Narrow ILM design. As a CPU cooler from the Aurora design line, it naturally features integrated digital aRGB lighting. Extremely powerful, the cooler base has been optimized for these large processor cores. A total of 147 cooling fins are spread across an area of ​​approximately 42 x 58.6 mm. By comparison, an Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora requires only 81 cooling fins to completely cover the core of a standard CPU. Both coolers utilize the same fin type with a thickness of just 0.2 mm. This clearly demonstrates the lengths Alphacool has gone to in order to deliver the best possible performance. The entire cooler base is made of nickel-plated copper, not aluminum. Copper's thermal conductivity is known to be almost twice that of aluminum. How is the CPU cooler illuminated? As with all new Eisblock CPU water coolers, Alphacool uses an integrated aRGB solution. An aluminum frame is flush-mounted in the CPU cooler. Naturally, the aluminum does not come into contact with the water. This LED frame contains up to 14 addressable digital RGB LEDs. This is more than enough to fully and brightly illuminate the entire cooler. The intensity of the lighting can, of course, be controlled via a suitable controller. Thanks to the use of digital RGB LEDs, all familiar effects can be created, as each LED can be individually controlled with the right controller. The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Pro cooler can also be connected to and controlled by a motherboard's controller via the 3-pin 5V connector. The cable also has an integrated Y-adapter. This makes it easy to connect other Alphacool Aurora products in series without having to order separate Y-adapters. Only extension cables will likely be needed if you want to connect the products in series. Is installation difficult? Installation is incredibly easy. Simply peel off the protective film from the cooler base, apply some of the included thermal paste to the CPU, and then place the cooler on top. Depending on the socket, the mounting screws are either tightened before or after installation. No tools are required for installation. Alphacool uses knurled screws, which allow for quick and easy mounting. Finally, acrylic! The Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Pro is the technical sibling of the Eisblock XPX Pro 1U cooler, which was specifically designed for use in server cases. During its development, functionality was therefore a far higher priority than design, which was kept practical and understated. The Eisblock XPX Aurora Pro has been visually aligned with the Aurora products and now offers the same design features familiar from the Aurora series. This allows for perfect visual coordination of your entir
