Waterkoeling Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge

The Alphacool Eisblock XPX Aurora Edge is a high-performance CPU water block designed for efficient heat transfer in custom liquid cooling systems. It uses Alphacool's patented ramp flow technology and an enlarged copper base to improve coolant distribution over the CPU DIE. The cooler features integrated addressable digital RGB lighting around the block and a brass lower housing with a black finish for increased stability and a distinct visual appearance. Dimensions are approximately 70 x 70 x 32.5 mm.

Advantages

The patented ramp system ensures an even flow of coolant through the diffuser plate, forcing water uniformly across the enlarged cooling base to accelerate heat transfer. A larger base area and 81 thin cooling fins (0.2 mm) increase surface area for efficient heat diffusion, making the block suitable for modern multi-core processors. Integrated addressable RGB with up to 15 LEDs provides even, controllable illumination and includes a Y-adapter on the cable for easy daisy-chaining of other Alphacool Aurora products. The brass lower housing improves durability and rigidity compared with plexiglass designs.

Suitable for

• Custom PC liquid cooling loops
• High-performance multi-core CPUs (4, 6, 8, 12+ cores)
• Systems requiring integrated addressable RGB lighting
• Builds that benefit from a robust brass water block housing

How to use

Install the backplate behind the motherboard and attach the corresponding mounting frame for your CPU socket (pre-fitted screws on the frame). Clamp the mounting frame to the water block, apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste to the CPU heatspreader, and fasten the block using the supplied screws. Connect the 3-pin 5V addressable RGB cable to a compatible controller or motherboard header; use extension cables if needed to chain multiple Aurora devices depending on case size. Remove the protective foil from the cooler base before first use.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with your motherboard socket and confirm clearance in your case for the block dimensions. Use a proper aRGB controller or a 3-pin 5V motherboard header to manage lighting effects. Check sealing and fittings in your loop and use extension cables when chaining multiple Aurora products if required.
