Alphacool Eisblock XPX Pro Aurora

When I had approached Alphacool about doing a review of the newly released Eisblock XPX Pro Aurora in the full brass version, I wasn't expecting to also receive this Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge. I have previously reviewed the acrylic top version on another Intel CPU, so do read that article as this version with the full brass top still shares a lot in common. Indeed, that acrylic top version comes in a couple of different housing finishes while costing $78, to where most people should arguably just purchase it and call it a day. The "Aurora" in the product name is meant to represent Alphacool's integrated lighting support for its products which is not really a strong point on the full brass version. This newer block is better built and obviously costs more, simply because of the increased material costs involved, so you need to figure out whether you care more about having a light show or a more stealthy approach with a heavy block that can also take accidents better, in case you end up over-tightening fittings on the block. The full metal block is also more withstanding of testing conditions outside of PC DIY cooling, although there I'd argue the Eisblock XPX Pro makes more sense with its native HEDT/server platform support.
