AORUS takes the lead yet again through the co-op with world renowned switch manufacture OMRON to innovate and develop a set of unique mechanical switches that is tailored for the AORUS 17, not only does the keys offer exceptional durability, it also offers one of the best feeling keys that gamers can find on a laptop. The AORUS greatness continues through the combination of the brand new Intel 8-core CPU, NVIDIA RTX graphics chip with Ray Tracing technology and an exclusive WINDFORCE INFINITY cooling system, the AORUS 17 steadily sits on the high-end gaming thrown with these specs.

AORUS leads the industry again by working with world renowned mechanical switch manufacture, OMRON in order to create a unique set of mechanical keys for the AORUS laptop, with gamer oriented design details, including an optimal 2.5 mm key travel and an actuation point of 1.6 mm, giving gamers both the sensational touch and sound of a crisp blue switch, which gamers can now enjoy the qualities of a full mechanical keyboard right on their AORUS laptop. AORUS pursues further by redesigning the key caps to produce stunning backlit keys with unique "concentric" keycaps, letting the LED underneath the keycap shine though evenly, increasing the overall lighting intensity by 27%, in addition to the AORUS exclusive FUSION 2.0 keyboard customization software, gamers can truly create a unique personal style.



WINDFORCE INFINITY Cooling System
AORUS takes initiative to work with the legendary AORUS graphics card cooling team in order to come up with something we call "WINDFORCE INFINITY" cooling technology that takes a large leap when it comes to cooling performance. The AORUS 17 takes hold of the next generation cooling weapon, the super heat conductor (Vapor Chamber) that increases the cooling efficiency by 37%, in conjunction with 5 heat pipes, 2 sets of 12 V 51 blade fans and the additional gigantic laptop base fan with large area air mesh. Gamers can fully enjoy gaming performances to the max, without worrying about any throttling or overheating issues.

All-New 9th Gen Intel Coffee Lake H Refresh Processor
The all-new upgrade of the AORUS 17 comes in with the addition of Intel's 9th Gen i9-9980HK processor, which is 10% more powerful compared to the 8th Gen Core i9.

nice i hope the temps are good. these laptop makers make the mistake of not adding enough cooling a lot of times... some games demand a lot more than others, and sometimes I don't think they test those games lol

the desire for lighter and thinner conflicts with the desire for more performance.. these things will throttle like mad to stay within thermal limits.. its inevitable..

yep, Eluktronics just released a new laptop, its got a nice thick chassis on it for extra cooling, problem is they use a full 65w desktop CPU in it so temps still wil be around 85 celsius... i'd rather see them use that chassis with 45w i9 laptop 8 core. and 65 celsius max temps. i just have never been comfortable with anything around 80 celsius. 70 is best.

what you are comfortable with and what the chips can handle would be better served if the two were aligned. The Intel chips throttle at 100C and shut down a bit above that if they get too hot. Running at 80C is nothing...90C is the limit most hold for stress testing. That said, games are ~20C colder anyway so you'll be in the 70s that way. These cpus cant keep under 70C when stress testing at stock in most cases, lol.

Dont rob yourself of performance/better chip because of a conservative view on temps.

these thin and light laptop power and temp throttle as part of their nature.. its normal practice for those in the know to lower the cpu voltage as much as possible.. this enables them to run a little faster for longer before the temps throttle them down.. kind like overclocking in reverse.. the cooler they run the faster they run.. they will all hit high temps and throttle down to some extent.. sometimes quite a lot..
