Air cooler Alphacool 11999 12 cm Black 118.9 m³/h 3.17 mmH2O

The Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora HPE Edition 360 is a high-performance all-in-one CPU water cooler that combines a NexXxos HPE Performance all-copper radiator with Aurora Rise 120 mm fans. Built from components derived from Alphacool's DIY and enterprise server ranges, the unit offers the ease of installation of an AIO with performance close to a pre-assembled custom loop. The cooler features a compact DC-LT 2 pump, G1/4" DIY-compatible fittings, TPV ES-series hoses without plasticizers, and full Digital aRGB illumination across pump and fans.

Advantages

The NexXxos ST30 HPE radiator uses a denser internal structure and more water channels and copper fins to increase heat transfer, delivering measurable thermal improvements over conventional NexXxos radiators. The compact DC-LT 2 pump provides sufficient flow to expand the loop with additional components such as a GPU block or another radiator. Aurora Rise 120 mm fans provide a wide control range, 0–2500 RPM PWM control with Zero mode, effective airflow (118.9 m³/h) and high static pressure (3.17 mmH₂O). DIY G1/4" connections and ES-series TPV hoses ensure easy maintenance and higher temperature stability compared with classic PVC hoses, while lightweight nylon quick-connectors enable simple expansion.

Suitable for

• High-performance CPU cooling in gaming and workstation PCs
• Systems where a compact, prefilled loop with upgrade options is preferred
• Builds requiring strong radiator performance at higher ambient temperatures

How to use

Install the Eisbaer Aurora HPE Edition 360 like a conventional AIO: mount the radiator and fans in the case, attach the pump block to the CPU socket using the included mounting hardware, connect the fans and pump to PWM and Digital aRGB headers or the included controller, and secure the quick-release fittings if extending the loop. Use the G1/4" DIY thread when changing hoses or fittings and follow standard precautions for water-cooling installations to ensure leak-free connections.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure adequate case airflow around the radiator, run fans in PWM mode to balance noise and cooling, and if adding additional components to the loop verify pump head pressure and flow compatibility. Use motherboard Digital RGB or the included controller to configure aRGB effects and connect fans/pump in series for simplified cabling.
