GIGABYTE has introduced the AORUS ELITE series of all in one (AIO) liquid coolers, headlined by the AORUS ELITE 360. The flagship model pairs a dual chamber pump with a full color LCD screen and 87 onboard LEDs split across two lighting zones. A more compact AORUS ELITE 240 is also available for smaller builds, with both sizes offered in black or white.
A Screen That Does More Than Show Temps
The centerpiece of the AORUS ELITE series is its LCD screen with LCD Edge View, capable of tracking up to 11 PC stats in real time, including CPU, GPU, and memory readings, with as many as 4 data points displayed at once. Users aren’t limited to monitoring either. The screen also supports custom images, GIFs, and video playback, letting builders turn the cooler itself into a visual centerpiece.
Dual Zone Lighting for More Customization
The AORUS ELITE 360’s 87 onboard LEDs give it a dense, vibrant lighting setup. Through GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC), users can independently control the fan lighting and the fan frame lighting as separate zones, choosing from a range of dynamic effects to match their build.
Built for Quiet, Consistent Cooling
The series uses a dual chamber pump design that keeps hot and cool liquid separated, helping heat move away from the CPU more efficiently. Cooling comes from 120 mm FDB Hawk fans with a 7 blade design tuned for airflow and static pressure, staying under 40 dBA thanks to their Fluid Dynamic Bearings. The radiator uses independent cooling channels for better circulation, while the copper cold plate’s micro fin design increases surface area for heat transfer.
Simple to Install
GIGABYTE also focused on making the AORUS ELITE series easier to build with:
- Single frame fan design that reduces mechanical resonance for more stable airflow
- Universal mounting bracket compatible with Intel LGA1851/1700 and AMD AM5/AM4 socket motherboards
- Pre applied thermal paste to avoid uneven application and ensure proper contact with the CPU
- Simplified cabling that cuts the number of cables from up to 9 down to 3, making cable management noticeably easier
