HYPEREFFICIENT VOLTAGE REGULATION
High-performance gaming stays consistent over long sessions thanks to robust processor voltage regulation that powers the CPU.
OPTIMIZED AIRFLOW
Airflow regulates thermals and minimizes acoustics through 120mm fans and strategically located vents and intakes.

HEXAGONAL SIDE VENTS
Temperature regulation is optimized on every Aurora by strategically positioning hexagonal vents that allow graphics cards to pull ambient air in.
PURPOSEFUL CABLE MANAGEMENT
Clean cable management enables better airflow and prevents heat build-up by strategically routing power and data cables.
