Alphacool article number: 13226
Version: 1.002 // 12.2022
Quick Info
- Tube from real glass ?
- Brilliant digital aRGB illumination ✨
- Powerful, via PWM controllable D5 pump ⚙️
The Alphacool Eisbecher Aurora reservoir has an integrated pump top for powerful D5 pumps and comes with a VPP Apex pump. The tube of the reservoir is made of glass, the D5/VPP pump top and the lid of acetal. The combination of these two materials gives the expansion tank a magnificent appearance. The wow effect is provided by 12 digitally addressable RGB LEDs in the pump top and the Lighttower water effect inside the glass tube.

Extensive Mounting Options
Mounting Option 1: Stands are included in the scope of delivery, which, among other things, allow the expansion tank to be mounted on the bottom of the enclosure.
Mounting Option 2: Included in the scope of delivery are 120mm/140mm mounting frames, which can be used to mount the Eisbecher Aurora expansion tank as desired on free fan spaces, radiators or on the fans on radiators.
Digitally Addressable RGB Lighting
12 digitally addressable RGB LEDs illuminate the glass tube of the reservoir. They are mounted in a ring at the lower end of the tube in the transition to the pump top and provide brilliant illumination of the entire expansion tank. In combination with the Lighttower water effect, a very special ambience is achieved. The digital aRGB LED lighting is connected via a JST 3-pin connector and can be controlled with a digital RGB controller (e.g. Alphacool Aurora Eiscontrol, Art. 15360) or a digital RGB capable mainboard.
Lighttower Water Effect
A special water effect is created in the Eisbecher reservoir via the riser tubes. If you do not fill the reservoir beyond the top edge of the riser tube, you get a kind of fountain effect. In this case, the water is pushed out the sides of the riser tube and splashed against the glass tube. Depending on the flow of the circuit, the effect is stronger or weaker. The effect can be placed at the lower or upper inlet using the riser tubes included in the delivery.
Pump (VPP Apex)
The VPP Apex pump does without a spherical bearing and uses a ceramic shaft. The motor's coils have been moved from the inside to the outside. These changes have the effect that the pump is fundamentally more stable and smoother running, and any vibrations that arise have been significantly reduced. Another positive side effect is that power consumption has been almost halved as a result. Compared to Alphacool's Eispumpe, the power is not supplied via a 4-pin Molex connector. Instead, the Apex VPP pump is connected to the power supply using a SATA connector. The Apex VPP pump has a 4-pin fan connector that connects to the motherboard or to an external controller. This allows you to control the speed range of the pump via PWM and read out the RPM signal.

Drawing Description
The technical drawing displays two views of the Alphacool Eisbecher Aurora D5 reservoir with VPP Apex pump. The primary view shows the front and side, indicating dimensions: total height of 288.00 mm, reservoir tube height of 242.00 mm, and a width/depth of 77.00 mm. Connection ports are labeled 'IN' and 'OUT' with G1/4" threads. The second view shows the rear and side, detailing the pump mounting and connections. The drawing also notes general tolerances of ± 0.25mm and dimensions are in millimeters.
