GIGABYTE Unveils World’s First Liquid-Cooled eGPU: The AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a trailblazer in high-performance gaming hardware, today announced the groundbreaking AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, August 26, 2025 — GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a trailblazer in high-performance gaming hardware, today announced the groundbreaking AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX. As the world’s first liquid-cooled external graphics solution powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 5090, this device sets a new benchmark for external computing power.
By combining the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture with the ultra-high-speed Thunderbolt™ 5 interface, the AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX instantly converts any ultra-slim laptop into a world-class workstation capable of near-desktop-level performance.
Unprecedented Power for the AI Era
The AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX is a powerhouse specifically engineered for the demands of modern artificial intelligence and high-end computing:
Massive Memory: Equipped with 32GB of VRAM to handle the most complex AI models and creative textures.
Extreme AI Performance: Delivers over 3000 AI TOPS, enabling users to run advanced LLMs (like Llama), image generators (Flux, Stable Diffusion), and custom model training locally and securely on their own PC.
Next-Gen Gaming: Leverage NVIDIA DLSS 4 for unprecedented frame rates and next-level graphical fidelity at 4K and beyond.
Exclusive WATERFORCE Liquid Cooling
To manage the immense power of the RTX 5090, GIGABYTE has integrated its flagship AORUS WATERFORCE All-in-One cooling system. This is the only external solution that provides:
Total Component Coverage: A large copper base plate cools the GPU, VRAM, and MOSFETs simultaneously.
Desktop-Class Radiator: A 240mm aluminum radiator paired with dual 120mm fans ensures the system remains whisper-quiet even under full load.
Long-Term Stability: Optimized water flow and premium thermal protection extend the service life of the hardware while maintaining peak clock speeds.
Thunderbolt™ 5: The Ultimate Single-Cable Connection
The AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX is among the first to utilize the Thunderbolt™ 5 interface, offering:
80Gbps Bidirectional Bandwidth: Dramatically reducing the latency and performance loss typically associated with external GPUs.
100W Power Delivery: Charges your laptop through the same cable used for data and video, simplifying your desktop setup.
Expansion Hub Capabilities: Features additional ports for high-speed networking, external monitors, and peripherals, transforming your laptop into a complete high-performance hub.
For Creators and Professionals
Beyond gaming, the AI BOX is fully supported by NVIDIA Studio drivers. Creative professionals in 3D rendering and video editing can experience massive acceleration in top-tier applications, supported by AI-assisted workflows that significantly reduce rendering times.
"The AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX is more than just an eGPU; it is a portable supercomputer," said GIGABYTE. "By bringing 32GB of VRAM and liquid cooling to a portable form factor, we are giving creators and AI enthusiasts desktop-level freedom."
