Details
The Alphacool Eisbaer LT360 Aurora HPE CPU AIO is an AIO liquid cooler with a 360 mm radiator. It fits Intel LGA 1155, 1150, 1151, 1200, 1700, 2011, 2011-3 and 2066 and AMD AM4, TR4, sTRX4, sWRX8 and SP3. It arrives pre-assembled and pre-filled, and thanks to the quick-release fastener the loop can be expanded with additional components.

Fit
Compatibility is as listed above, with one mounting set for AMD and one for Intel in the box. Thermal compound is included as well. The radiator takes 120 mm fans, three on one side or six on both sides, and comes with M3x5 case mounting screws and M3x30 fan screws.
What kind of AIO this is
The water cooling features the NexXxos HPE Performance all-copper radiator, which Alphacool calls extremely powerful, equipped with Aurora Rise 120mm fans it calls high-throughput. All of the components used come from the classic DIY water cooling range. For the most part they are also used in the enterprise products for servers. Alphacool's own summary is a high performance all-in-one water cooling system that is as easy to install as an AIO. It says the cooler still offers the performance of a custom loop.
New HPE Radiator!
The NexXxos ST30 HPE Radiator uses the same materials as previous NexXxos models, but takes it a step further technically. Due to the condensed internal structure, the number of water channels and copper fins could be increased. Thus a larger volume of water is in direct contact with the cooling fins, and Alphacool says the heat transfer is enormously improved. The higher number of fin rows and their shortening also makes much more efficient use of the cooling surface, in its words.
Alphacool reports comparison tests with the conventional NexXxoS radiator that have shown a possible performance increase of 4.5K when using the HPE radiator. At higher ambient temperatures and higher fan speeds it says the performance gap with the normal radiators even increases progressively, reaching up to 6K.
Radiator & Pump
As with all Alphacool products, the cooler 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.
Fan
The Rise Aurora fan offers a wide control range as well as Digital aRGB LED lighting that Alphacool calls superior. Its individually controllable 5V aRGB LEDs, paired with the fan's special design, create what Alphacool calls unique effects. Additionally the fan offers a Zero control, which allows it to be regulated down to 0 RPM, and it then starts at approximately 350 RPM. Alphacool calls the fan nearly silent at 800 rpm. It says the fan still offers good airflow paired with high static pressure: up to 118.9 m³/h and 3.17 mm/H₂O.
DIY connections and ES hoses
The hose connections are from the normal DIY segment and therefore use a G1/4 thread, so it is very easy to replace them. Like the connectors, the black TPV hose comes from the Alphacool ES series, which is primarily installed in servers and workstations. The hose does not contain any plasticizers. Unlike classic PVC hoses, it does not deform at high temperatures. The quick connector is not made of heavy brass, but of nylon that Alphacool calls extremely light, durable and robust.
Full Digital aRGB Illumination
The cooler pump assembly and fans are fully equipped with Digital RGB LEDs, also known as addressable RGB or aRGB. For a nice visual effect the polar bear on the cooler pump unit is illuminated, of course.
How to connect everything
The loop is sealed and filled, so it needs no fittings. It can be opened at the quick disconnect, which Alphacool says is compatible with many other models in the Alphacool product line. The fan can be controlled from 0 to 2500 rpm via the 4-pin PWM connector, and a Y-adapter 4-Pin PWM is in the box. Extensive lighting effects can be set with the included controller or a Digital RGB controller on the motherboard. A 3-Pin JST to 3-Pin 5V adapter is included for that. For easier control via a controller, the fans and also the pump can be connected in series as a daisy chain. This enables a neat wiring of the individual LED components.
