In The News: Gigabyte Launches AORUS ELITE Series of AIO Liquid Coolers

Gigabyte announces its new AORUS ELITE line-up of AIO CPU coolers, namely the AORUS ELITE 360 and AORUS ELITE 240, which are both available in black or white colourways.

Gigabyte AORUS ELITE AIO CPU Coolers

(Press Release) GIGABYTE, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, recently announced the AORUS ELITE series of all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers. Leading the lineup, the AORUS ELITE 360 combines a high-performance dual-chamber pump, a full-color LCD screen, and 87 onboard LEDs with dual-zone customization, delivering powerful, quiet cooling with a level of personalization rarely seen in its class. Both black and white editions are available, along with the more compact AORUS ELITE 240 for smaller builds.

Total Control, Right Before Your Eyes

At the heart of the AORUS ELITE series is a full-color LCD screen with LCD Edge View, which tracks up to 11 different PC stats in real time — including CPU, GPU, and memory data* — with up to 4 data displays shown simultaneously. Beyond hardware monitoring, users can personalize the screen with custom images, GIFs, or even video content, turning the cooler into a centerpiece of the build.

Dual-Zone Lighting, Endless Personalization

With 87 onboard LEDs on the AORUS ELITE 360, the series offers extreme lighting density for vibrant, flexible effects. Dual-Zone functionality lets users independently customize the fan and fan-frame lighting through GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC), with a wide range of dynamic lighting effects to choose from** — total creative freedom to match any build style.

Engineered for Cool, Quiet Performance

Featuring a high-performance dual-chamber pump, the AORUS ELITE series uses separated compartments to keep hot and cool liquid from mixing, allowing heat to be drawn away from the CPU faster and more consistently. The 120mm FDB Hawk fans, with an optimized 7-blade design, increase both airflow and static pressure while reducing noise, and their long-life Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) keep noise levels under 40 dBA. Completing the loop, a high-density aluminum radiator with independent cooling channels enables efficient circulation, while the copper cold plate's micro-fins maximize heat-transfer surface area. Together, these deliver fast, stable cooling that stays quiet through intense gaming and heavy multitasking.

DIY-Friendly by Design

Building with the AORUS ELITE series is refreshingly simple:

  1. Single-Frame Design: The unified fan frame delivers powerful, stable airflow while minimizing mechanical resonance for enhanced cooling efficiency.

  2. Universal Mounting Bracket: A single bracket supports Intel 1851/1700 and AMD AM5/AM4 sockets, making installation simple and straightforward on any platform.

  3. Pre-Applied Thermal Paste: Eliminates the risk of uneven application, ensuring a perfect seal between the cooler and CPU for stable, efficient heat transfer.

  4. Simplified Cable Design: An integrated cable design reduces the number of cables from up to 9 to 3, minimizing clutter and making cable management cleaner and installation more intuitive.
