Gigabyte 3D Aurora review

The Gigabyte 3D Aurora case is a product aimed squarely at computer enthusiasts - with one small caveat.

Due to this small flaw, the Gigabyte 3D Aurora narrowly misses out on a reward. In every other department, the 3D Aurora delivers the goods, and it’s a very good case for the price.

Gigabyte 3D Rocket II

It's the best Gigabyte cooler you can currently buy, but will the blue heatsink Rocket II shoot for the stars or fall to earth with a pop and a whistle?

Depending on your tolerance it may look a bit gimmicky, especially the "fluorescent bands" and copious use of blue plastic and LEDs, but it does include a variable fan controller none the less. That may not be a novel addition but it's extremely useful...

Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570

All in all, the Aurora 570 is clearly a great chassis with massive potential for those looking for a system with some space. But at the current price, it's prohibitively expensive given the relative value of its slightly older brother - we'd say to go...

Gigabyte 3D Rocket Pro Cooler

Although the installation was fiddly, it solved my cooling problem for £30, and I don't have a mess of water pipes all over the place. Just as important, my machine still runs quiet.

Gigabyte 3D Cooler Ultra

Gigabyte has taken another stab at making a viable CPU cooler and this time it's made of copper. Does Gigabyte's second cooling attempt deliver?

With its 3D Cooler (GH-PCU21-FD), Gigabyte now offers a well-priced model. The mechanics of the GH-PCU21-FD are practically identical compared to the Pro version. As a result, the heat pipes, as well as the base, are made out of copper, while the...

Gigabyte 3D Cooler Pro

With its 3D cooler the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer got a foot in the door in this hard-fought cooler market. Will the new design of the ...

Gigabyte's design of its very first cooler, the 3D Cooler Pro GH-PCU21-VG, has a construction that is radically different from that of its predecessors: Gigabyte replaces the conventional axial flow fan with a cylindrical air scoop that causes radial...

Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570

Constructed out of aluminium, Gigabyte's 3D Aurora 570 PC case is light, yet it's also roomy and has plenty of space for high-end components to be ins...

Very light, plenty of space, excellent cooling

5.25in drive bays are very tight, noticeable flexing when installing motherboard cables and RAM

While we do have a couple of issues with its construction and design, the large size and excellent cooling of the 3D Aurora 570 make it a decent case if you want to build a high-end gaming PC. Its light weight means that you can also lug it to LAN...

Gigabyte 3D Rocket II

Let nobody say that Gigabyte didn't break the mold with its 3D Rocket II heatsink/fan combination. As the name alludes, the device resembles a rocket ship sitting atop a launch pad. It's about as well strapped in, too; we applaud the 3D Rocket II for...

Comes with decorative UV-reactive fluorescent rings and a fan speed controller

Pushes on the CPU a bit too much; design makes for a tricky installation

The tall cooler barely fits in most cases, forcing you to remove the optional air duct attached to its fan. But that doesn’t trouble us nearly as much as the possibility that the 3D Rocket II could grind our processors into dust. Anxiety is the last...

Gigabyte 3DAurora 570 system chassis

Gigabyte is a company with fingers in many pies, some that we in Europe never even see. From motherboards to mobile phones, laptops to coolers, the company covers a huge number of bases

Some enthusiasts might not include the Gigabyte 570 on their shortlists but, from our own hands-on experience and the results of our testing, we tend to think that's a serious mistake

GIGABYTE 3D Mercury

3D Mercury is the name of GIGABYTE's first ever case with an integrated water cooling system. The case is aimed at first time water cooling buyers and is extremely easy to setup and maintain. Is this case worth the money or is it just another...

Water cooled!, Good noise / performance level, Big (10% wider than a normal full tower), Spacious interior, Cooling capability (3 x 120 mm in the main compartment and 2 x 120 mm on the radiator), Performance, Internal and external design, Light weight,...

Pricey!, Too short cables, Big

The GIGABYTE 3D Mercury is an interesting blend of water cooling and a high-end full tower. What makes this case so special is that the case is essentially built around the 3D Galaxy water cooling kit and not the other way around. This means that...
