AIRFLOW STRATEGY

To sustain peak performance, cool air is intentionally directed across core components for optimal airflow. Mindful exhausts expel hot air from the interior, maximising thermal efficiency with minimum heat resistance.

Liquid Cooling

CPU LIQUID COOLING

These desktops are quieter with larger heat exchangers that cycle fluid to and from the CPU block to provide higher thermal capacity. Aurora offers 240mm versions while Area-51 offers 360mm version.
