GAME COOL AND QUIETLY

Central to the Aurora R16's thermal strategy is the increase in its ventilation's total surface area. The side hexagonal array, top surface exhaust, and the front stadium intake all provide significantly larger pathways for ambient air to enter and heat to be exhausted. This increase is the driving force behind the desktop's efficient airflow, cooling and acoustics.

The 240mm heat exchanger, available on the CPU liquid cooling, heightens thermal resistance, ensuring temperatures stay consistently low during longer gaming sessions.
