Common Applications

The Aurora Limited Edition pairs LTYKB-AI (Intel) and LTYKBA-ARK (AMD) with a 0.4mm micro-cut copper waterway and an acrylic top featuring an engraved theme illuminated by LRC 2.0 5V 3-pin addressable RGB. Intel mounting covers LGA 115x/1200/1700 plus X99 and X299; AMD mounting covers AM3, AM4, and AM5 for Ryzen 3/5/7/9. The 0.4mm cut width is finer than mainstream blocks and increases the heat-transfer surface area, but it also means an inline filter and clean coolant are required to keep the channels clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Difference between LTYKB-AI and LTYKBA-ARK?

A: LTYKB-AI is the Intel version for LGA 115x/1200/1700/X99/X299. LTYKBA-ARK is the AMD version for AM3/AM4/AM5 Ryzen 3/5/7/9.

Q: What does 0.4mm micro-cut mean?

A: The waterway channels are 0.4mm wide, narrower than the 0.5mm to 0.6mm typical of mainstream blocks. The added surface area improves heat transfer at the cost of slightly higher flow restriction.

Q: What lighting standard does it use?

A: LRC 2.0 5V 3-pin addressable RGB. Do not plug it into a 12V 4-pin header.

Q: Coolant and filter guidance?

A: Use clean, transparent coolant and install an inline filter ahead of the block. Glitter and suspended-particle fluids will clog the 0.4mm channels.

Q: What thread are the ports?

A: Standard G1/4 inlet and outlet.
