Conclusion

...a step-up from the formulaic AIOs we've become accustomed to.

Alphacool's Eisbaer Pro Aurora attempts to fill a gap in the market between single-purpose all-in-one coolers and complex custom loops.

Designed as a step-up from the formulaic AIOs we've become accustomed to, this expandable 360mm alternative touts a list of value-adds at a competitive £168 price point. These include a copper radiator, a quick-release fastener that makes it easy to incorporate a graphics card, a well-stocked bundle and a large CPU block suited to both mainstream desktop and HEDT processors.

Likeable core ingredients, yet noisy fans and a relatively short two-year warranty detract from the overall package, and we're of the opinion you really need to be contemplating an HEDT build with an expanded loop for the likes of the Eisbaer Pro Aurora to make sense.

Bottom line: other AIO coolers offer greater out-the-box refinement, yet if you want to include a Threadripper chip and an Eiswolf GPU cooler, the Eisbaer Pro Aurora will get the job done.

Could do with fan RPM label next to the noise level - you mention swapping them out, but if they're only louder because they are spinning faster, it makes sense to just turn em down. If each cooler has their own fan profile, then they all should have the actual fan speeds listed next to the noise.
Warranty spooks me. But nice looking huge block for AMD
Arctic still king of the AIO hill!
