Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360

Wir testen heute zum offiziellen Launch die brandneue Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360 AIO Wasserkühlung. Die Eisbaer Aurora ist eine geschlossene Wasserkühlung, die einfach einzubauen ist und sich durch einen Schnellverschluss gefahrlos und simpel erweitern lässt. Neu hinzugekommen ist die aRGB Beleuchtung, außerdem soll die Pumpe leistungsfähiger sein, dabei aber leiser als bisher arbeiten. Wir sind gespannt und nehmen auf OCinside.de alles genau unter die Lupe. Zusätzlich wieder mit neuen Videos der RGB Effekte, dem Pumpengeräusch und der Lüfterlautstärke.

Alphacool hat kürzlich eine neue Generation der All-In-One Wasserkühlung „Eisbaer Aurora“ vorgestellt und wir haben die Variante mit drei 120-mm-Lüftern genauer unter die Lupe genommen und mit einem manuell übertakteten AMD Ryzen 9 3900X getestet.

In summary, the Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360 is a one-of-a-kind preassembled liquid cooler that combines the convenience of AIO coolers with the upgradability of a custom cooling kit. Its performance is not mind-blowing, but it is comparable to that of the best similarly sized AIO coolers currently out in the market. The retail price of the Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360 is its only drawback, as the cooler is currently retailing for over $200. This is quite a bit more than similar products from other reputable manufacturers, leaving Alphacool's marketing team with the less-than-easy task of convincing end users that the high quality and potential expandability of the Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360 are worth the premium.

While the Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora 360 can be considered a bit expensive, it is still in the same price range as many other 360 mm offerings from popular manufacturers. It is also worth noting that rather than getting a mixed metal loop for your money, you are getting an all copper loop and the option to expand. Alphacool offers their Eiswolf line of GPU blocks, under others, for easy expansion, which coincidentally will soon be updated to match the current Eisbaer lineup, so if you want an easy way to configure a full loop, this isn't a bad option by any means. It also doesn't hurt that overall performance as is remains quite solid, and while it could be better with different fans, the included ones offer the ever-polarizing option of RGB lighting.
