The housing of the Aorus gaming box is identical to the variant that is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, so the box measures 300 x 140 x 173 mm with a weight of 3.9 kilograms. The black metal housing is retained, as is the subtle RGB lighting on the front; there are only differences on the rear, namely in the connections.

The new version with the GeForce RTX 3090 is equipped with three DisplayPorts and two HDMI connections for connecting several monitors, in addition to the Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C port for connection to the computer, of course. The bandwidth of Thunderbolt is used to provide the user with three USB ports and Gigabit Ethernet. The power supply is getting an upgrade, with 550 watts and an efficiency of 90 percent, more than enough power should be offered to operate the GeForce RTX 3090.
