Introduction

Well known as a custom water-cooling supplier, Alphacool is instantly recognizable among water-cooling enthusiasts in the DIY PC space, having entrenched themselves as a premier manufacturer. Their selection of water-cooling parts is quite extensive, including radiators, fans, fittings, pumps, reservoirs, blocks, and even all-in-one units. All-in-one liquid coolers especially have become a major focus with Alphacool targeting multiple market segments with multiple designs that give users a copper alternative to the mostly mixed metal loops that have flooded the market.


In today's review, I focus on the Eisbaer Aurora 360. This standard-sized 360 mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler differs from the majority of its competition via the use of a copper radiator. That having been said, the company is not immune to the RGB craze, and there is thus the "Aurora" in the name as this latest offering delivers flashy RGB LEDs to the pump and fans. Considering the majority of RGB fans of late have been a good deal smaller, it will be interesting to see how they influence performance.
