We can agree that CPU cooling is extremely crucial in pretty much any build. It doesn’t matter if you are a hardcore modder or the quiet enthusiast, you want performance out of your CPU cooler. I can honestly say that today’s market is saturated with cooling hardware. So picking an ideal cooler is quite challenging. Some of the best cooling components for the money come from Europe. Alphacool has been shaping the cooling industry on their own for years and one of their best All In One cooling loops is called Eisbaer. Winning multiple awards for performance Eisbaer is one of the best CPU AIO coolers on the market. But how do you make something great even better? Of course, throw a little bit of ARGB in the mix. The outcome is Eisbaer Aurora 240 CPU – Digital RGB. Eisbaer Aurora has the same features of Eisbaer but with few small modifications such as a larger cooling area and a more efficient pump. Supporting both Intel and AMD sockets Eisbaer Aurora 240 extends its AIO loop into the RGB land.

Eisbaer Aurora is available with a range of radiators 240, 280, 360 and 420mm so getting the right size not a problem. Alphacool makes it easy to get exactly what you need and nothing more, nothing less. My sample came with a 240mm radiator. The packaging of Eisbaer Aurora 240 is slightly longer than a radiator itself. Alphacool imagery is very vivid but yet easy on the eyes. Supported sockets of Eisbaer Aurora are Intel and AMD and all of the listed sockets are listed on the packaging along with some of the images of the device inside.
Internal packaging is very similar to what we see with other AIO coolers on the market. Eisbaer Aurora is securely held in place in a carboard insert alongside with the accessories bag and the detached fans. The accessories in this AIO unit are designed to get you up and running in a matter of minutes. Everything you need is included including Alphacool thermal paste.
