GIGABYTE has launched a new line of AORUS ELITE liquid coolers and a PC case that doubles as a monitor. The products debuted at Computex 2026, giving builders fresh options for cooling and chassis design.
AORUS ELITE coolers feature LCD displays
The AORUS ELITE coolers come in 240mm and 360mm sizes. Both feature an LCD 'Edge View' display on the pump housing and RGB lighting on the fan hub. The 360mm model packs 87 LEDs, while the 240mm version has 58 LEDs. GIGABYTE uses its 'Hawk Fans' with a 12-channel radiator and a 420mm tube length.
Spec comparison
| Spec | AORUS ELITE 360mm | AORUS ELITE 240mm | AORUS C510 Glass Infinity |
|---|---|---|---|
| LED count | 87 LEDs | 58 LEDs | N/A |
| Tube length | 420 mm | 420 mm | N/A |
| Monitor panel | N/A | N/A | 16-inch 1080p 165 Hz |
| Form factor | 360mm AIO | 240mm AIO | mATX case |

The AORUS C510 Glass Infinity case is a portable mATX chassis with a detachable handle. Its standout feature is a built-in 16-inch 1080p display with a 165Hz refresh rate, effectively turning the case into a secondary monitor. The case also supports GIGABYTE STEALTH reverse connector motherboards for cleaner cable management.

C510 case includes a built-in monitor
Pricing for the AORUS ELITE coolers is estimated around $170, based on the previous AORUS WATERFORCE X II 360. The C510 case is expected to cost between $250 and $350, though GIGABYTE has not confirmed official pricing. Availability is set for June 2026 globally.
The AORUS ELITE coolers face competition from other AIOs with larger screens at similar price points. GIGABYTE's decision to use a smaller LCD panel may make the ELITE a tougher sell against rivals offering more display real estate.
GIGABYTE's new products offer a mix of cooling performance and innovative case design. The C510's integrated monitor and handle target LAN party enthusiasts and portable builders, while the ELITE coolers provide RGB-rich liquid cooling for mainstream builds.
