Continuing on a string of product launches, GIGABYTE released its AORUS ELITE line of liquid coolers at Computex 2026, as well as the AORUS C510 Glass Infinity case.
AORUS ELITE Liquid Coolers
The AORUS ELITE lineup of liquid coolers comes with LCD 'Edge View' displays on the pump housing, that can display up to 4 of 11 real-time system stats (controllable through GIGABYTE's control center). Ringing the perimeter of the fan shroud are up to 87 LEDs (on the 360mm model; the 240mm model gets 58) that provide beautifully diffused and highly granular lighting.
Speaking of the fans, GIGABYTE is using its tried and tested 'Hawk Fans' here, in conjunction with a 12-channel radiator connected to the pump housing via a 420 mm long tube.
AORUS C510 GLASS STEALTH INFINITY
This compact case seems understated at first, with a relatively plain design for what appears to be a standard portable mATX form factor. The detachable handle also isn't anything groundbreaking, although it is mighty convenient to be able to swap the position.
That illusion shatters the moment you swap out the glass side panel for the 16" 1080p 165 Hz panel. This monitor-panel can be used as a fully blown primary display, allowing you to quite literally game on your PC, or as an extended display, which we feel will be the most common use case.
The C510 GLASS STEALTH INFINITY also supports GIGABYTE's STEALTH series of reverse connector motherboards, allowing for cleaner cable management. It'll be interesting to see what use cases people come up with for the LCD side panel. Given that it's a 16:10 panel, personally I'd run it in the portrait orientation as a secondary monitor, maybe for twitter or something.
Pricing & Availability
Given that GIGABYTE's previous offering in the high-end AIO space (AORUS WATERFORCE X II 360) retailed for around $170, expect the ELITE to come in around the same. This might be a tough sell for GIGABYTE since the ELITE doesn't have the larger screens you'd expect from AIOs around this price (a la Thermalright Trofeo which retails for $150 currently). Therefore, more than the screen, the ELITE will have to rely on the beautiful 88 RGB-LED fan housing as its main selling point.
Pricing on the case is more of a mystery. As GIGABYTE doesn't have any previous offerings in this segment, it's hard to extrapolate a price estimate for the C510 GLASS STEALTH INFINITY. The closest competitor (in terms of screen size) would be the Hyte Y70 Touch Infinity, which retails for around $350, so my guess for the C510 would be anywhere around $250 - $350, which would make it a compelling niche option.
