GIGABYTE has expanded its cooling lineup with the new AORUS ELITE series of all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers, offering a mix of performance, customization, and simplified installation for gaming PCs.
The full color LCD display, dubbed LCD Edge View, is a full color panel and it can monitor up to 11 different system metrics, including CPU, GPU, and memory information, while displaying up to four data panels simultaneously. Beyond hardware monitoring, users can also upload their own images, GIFs, or video clips to personalize the display and make it a focal point inside the PC.
Meanwhile, the dual-zone lighting support essentially unlinked the fan blades and outer fan frame from the rest of the unit, and now customizable independently through GIGABYTE Control Center. This gives builders much greater flexibility when creating lighting effects that match the rest of their setup.
Cooling performance is handled by a dual-chamber pump that separates hot and cool liquid for more efficient heat transfer. Paired with 120mm FDB Hawk fans featuring an optimized seven-blade design and Fluid Dynamic Bearings, the coolers are designed to deliver strong airflow and static pressure while keeping operating noise below 40 dBA. A high-density aluminum radiator and copper cold plate with micro-fin design further improve cooling efficiency during demanding gaming sessions and heavy workloads.
GIGABYTE has also focused on making installation easier, as the coolers use a single-frame fan design, support both Intel LGA1851/LGA1700 and AMD AM5/AM4 platforms with a universal mounting bracket, come with pre-applied thermal paste, and reduce cable clutter by cutting the number of required cables from as many as nine down to just three.
Currently, there are 4 different models that make up the initial launch:
- AORUS ELITE 360
- AORUS ELITE 360 ICE
- AORUS ELITE 240
- AORUS ELITE 240 ICE
