the patented ramp design as well as boasting excellent quality. The new Aurora design in combination

CPU water block.

Performance in abundance!

Alphacool already developed and patented new flow technology for the first Alphacool Eisblock XPX se­ries. The so-called "ramp system" ensures an even flow of water inside the cooler and sits in front of the
diffuser plate. This ensures that the water is pressed evenly through the diffuser plate, which in turn push­es the water evenly over the cooling base. The cooling channels on the CPU cooler base has also been
enlarged to a proud 34 x 32 mm to accommodate the ever-growing CPU DIEs. This is especially true for
multi-core processors with 4, 6, 8 or even 12 and more CPU cores. So that the heat from the CPU can
be transferred to the water as quickly as possible. 81 cooling fins can be found on the cooling plate to en­sure maximum heat diffusion. The fin structure has been reduced to just 0.2 mm in order to create the

largest possible surface area in the smallest possible space.

And the lighting?

All new Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge CPU waterblocks come with addressable digital RGB lighting. The
aRGB LEDs are integrated directly into the CPU water cooler and run once around the entire cooling
block. With up to 15 digital RGB LEDs the entire CPU block is evenly and intensively lit. Of course, the
brightness can be controlled by an appropriate controller. And as with all aRGB LED products all known

effects can be created. From simple colour changes to wave effects and rainbow lighting, everything is
possible. Of course, the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora coolers can also be connected and controlled via

mainboards using the standard 3-pin 5V connector. The cable also has an integrated Y-adapter. This

makes it easy to connect further Alphacool Aurora products in series without having to order separate Y­adapters. Extension cables may be needed if you want to connect the products in series, depending on the
size of the case.

Is installation difficult?

Mounting the XPX Aurora Edge Eisblock cooler is simple. The backplate is simply attached to the main­board from behind. The mounting frame for the AMD or Intel socket is clamped to the cooler and the
corresponding mounting screws are pre-attached to this frame. Next, you simply apply thermal paste and
you attach the cooler using the screws.

Please note: Remove the protective foil on the cooler base before use!

Unique Aurora Design

The Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Edge has been significantly changed in some points to its predecessor, the
Eisblock XPX. The lower part of the cooler is completely made of brass and no longer of plexiglass or
transparent nylon. This changes the overall feel and quality of the cooler. Not only is it heavier in the
hand, but it is also much more stable than the usual Plexi CPU water coolers. In order to stand out visual­ly from the normal Eisblock XPX Aurora CPU water cooler, the bottom of the cooler was kept com­pletely in black. This emphasizes the visual effect of the water flow. The corners of the CPU cooler are
more angular, which makes the cooler stand out from the normal Aurora Plexi Eisblock.
