What AORUS Had to Say

“AORUS leads the industry in creating a new RGB three-ring light effect that takes advantage of the persistence of human vision. A single fan uses LED lighting to illuminate with the fan’s speed to create an ever-changing surprise. Any lighting mode can be perfectly represented by setting the LED lighting timing. So far, AORUS is the only one who can provide this amazing lighting effect.”

What’s in the Box?

Of course, you’ll find that lovely GPU. However, since the card is quite big and heavy, it also comes with a GPU anti-sag kit.

This little stand is nicely made and can be extended as required, and the support arm can be adjusted up and down to suit. It’s a pretty neat little extra, I love it!
