Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora LT Solo - Black CPU Water Block, G1/4, Nickel Plated Copper (13066)

The Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora LT Solo - Black is the pump and cooler unit of an AIO liquid cooler on its own, without radiator, tubes and fans. It mounts on AMD AM4 and AM5 and on Intel LGA 1700 and 1851, among the sockets listed below. The unit combines CPU cooling block, reservoir and pump in one housing. To finish the loop you still need a radiator, tubing and two G1/4 fittings.

Properties

• Intel sockets: LGA 775, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1200, 1700, 1851, 2011, 2011-3, 2066
• AMD sockets: AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, AM4, AM5, FM1, FM2, FM2+, SP3, SP6, sTRX4, sWRX8
• Pump: DC-LT 2, 2600 rpm
• Threads: 3x G1/4 (1x fill port included)
• Size: 69 x 69 x 45 mm
• Lighting: Digital aRGB

Fit

Compatibility follows Alphacool's current list, which marks none of the sockets above as optional. One mounting set for AMD and one for Intel are in the box. Alphacool's manual shows brackets and screws for LGA 115x, LGA 1200, LGA 1700/1851 and LGA 2066 and for AM4 / AM5. It shows no mounting steps for the other sockets on the list. On LGA 115x, 1200 and 1700/1851 the enclosed backplate is fixed to the back of the mainboard with its tape.

Thermal compound is included. The manual has you remove the old paste from the CPU, apply a pea-sized blob and spread it with a plastic strip into an even, thin layer of less than 0.5 mm. Tighten the screws hand-tight only, without tools.

Low height for small cases

At 45 mm the construction height is low, which allows flexible use in a wide range of scenarios. Alphacool says the unit can convince especially in small cases with little space. The same product is also used as the basis of Alphacool's popular AiO water coolers.

Radiator base and pump

As with all Alphacool products, the base that Alphacool's text calls the radiator base is made of nickel-plated copper. It is equipped with very fine cooling fins that are distributed over the entire base. A nozzle plate provides an accelerated flow over those fins, which increases the cooling performance according to Alphacool. The water flow is optimized so that all areas of the cooler base are cooled evenly. The Eisbaer LT Aurora cooler uses the DC-LT 2, a very compact and small pump. Alphacool says it provides enough power to add another component to the circuit, such as a GPU water cooler or another radiator.
