The desktop packs the most powerful gaming hardware currently available, in a SFF-class chassis.

Acer’s new Predator Orion X is a SFF builder’s dream: it packs quite some firepower courtesy of Intel’s 6GHz-breaking Core i9-13900KS processor plus a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, all within just 15.4L of volume. While Acer mentions “liquid cooling” for the RTX 4090, on the surface it’s cooled by two axial fans. However, it features what looks to be radiator instead of traditional heatsink fins – something that’s not seen in any recent GPU designs to date.

The 9kg chassis is split into three sections where Acer refers them as “zones”: Zone 1 provides direct access to CPU, PSU and SSD; Zone 2 houses GPU and 2.5″ drive bays; whereas Zone 3 is where the 240mm AIO cooler is situated. Sitting on top of the chassis is a rotatable arm that doubles as a headset cradle. The Predator Orion X will feature up to 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, 2x 1TB SSDs plus an illuminated hot-swappable M.2 SSD drive bay.

Aside from the desktop, Acer also announced two new monitor models. Starting with Nitro XZ452CU V super-ultrawide monitor – this 44.5-inch, 1800R curved monitor supports dual-QHD resolution (5120×1440, 32:9 aspect ratio) at 165Hz refresh rate, with 90% DCI-P3 coverage, plus VESA DisplayHDR 400 and AMD Freesync Premium Pro certification. The Nitro monitor also includes USB-C port for display, data upstream and device charging, an RJ45 port, and a built-in KVM switch for multi-system usage.

Meanwhile, the Predator X34 V monitor boasts a 34-inch, 21:9 curved ultrawide OLED panel with QHD-class resolution (3440×1440), 1800R curvature, 175Hz refresh rate with near-instantaneous 0.1ms GTG response time, 99% DCI-P3 coverage and certification for VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and AMD Freesync Premium.

All three models listed here are expected to only launch beginning Q3 of 2023 in China, EMEA and NA regions, so it’ll be a while before these models eventually arrive to Malaysia as well.

Pokdepinion: That’s quite an ingenious solution for the GPU cooling, actually.
