to the gigabyte launched A new external graphics box for laptops with water-cooled RTX 4090 graphics cards. This box is designed to turn a thin and light laptop into a powerful gaming machine for those who use their laptop as a gaming battle station on the go.

Gigabyte’s Aorus Core gaming box is a factory overclocked liquid-cooled GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, featuring an Aorus Waterforce 240mm AIO cooling solution that cools the GPU, memory and power delivery system. This cooling solution is equipped with a large copper baseplate for cooling the graphics card components, heavy duty FEP tubes and his two 120mm “silent fans” connected to the radiator.
As a result, the card should have very good thermals to deliver high clock speeds, good overclocking potential, and longevity with reduced temperatures. Gigabyte has not revealed which RTX 4090 model is used in this box, but for obvious reasons it could be a modded Aorus RTX 4090 Xtreme Waterforce.
