GIGABYTE announced the launch of its AORUS ELITE series of AIO liquid coolers, comprising AORUS ELITE 360 and AORUS ELITE 240 models, both available in black and white (ICE) versions for corresponding PC builds.
GIGABYTE AORUS ELITE Series AIO Coolers: AORUS ELITE 360 & 240
As with virtually every other AIO cooler out there, the models include a full-color LCD screen (in this case, a circular one) which displays stats and custom images as users wish. The radiator side of the AORUS ELITE 360 includes 87 onboard LEDs with dual-zone lighting, where users can independently adjust fan and frame lighting through the GIGABYTE Control Center software.
The cooling system uses a dual-chamber pump design, which GIGABYTE says is intended to keep hot and cool liquid separated for improved heat dissipation from the CPU. The coolers use 120mm fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) Hawk fans with a seven-blade design intended to balance airflow and static pressure while maintaining noise levels below 40 dBA; meanwhile, the radiator uses high-density aluminum with independent cooling channels, paired with a copper cold plate featuring micro-fins to increase surface area.
GIGABYTE said the AORUS ELITE series is designed for simplified installation, featuring a single-frame fan design intended to reduce mechanical resonance, along with a universal mounting bracket compatible with Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700 sockets, as well as AMD Socket AM5 and Socket AM4; the coolers include pre-applied thermal paste and an integrated cable design that reduces the number of cables from up to nine to three.
Pokdepinion: No shortage of RGB lighting, that’s for sure.
