Phenomenal cosmic energy. Itty bitty residing area. We provide the new Acer Predator Orion X, an Nvidia RTX 4090-powered gaming PC crammed right into a puny 15.4-liter field.
Oh, and also you additionally get an Intel Core i9 13900KS clocked up at 6GHz. Ouch. It is all potential due to water cooling all through. The CPU will get a fairly commonplace 240mm AIO answer, however hooking that RTX 4090 as much as liquid coolness took somewhat extra effort.
Primarily, Acer has constructed a full water cooling answer into what seems like a normal GPU air cooler, albeit the cooler dimension on any RTX 4090 is clearly fairly monstrous. If something, nonetheless, Acer’s water-cooled RTX 4090 seems to be somewhat shorter than your typical 12-foot RTX 4090.
Extra usually, the Predator Orion X’s mini-ITX field is break up into three zones, the higher to each management thermals and in addition allow entry to the tightly bundle internals. Zone one is for the CPU PSU and SSD, zone two comprises the GPU plus twin SATA slots and zone three homes the 240mm AIO cooler.
Styling smart, the all-metal chassis has a sci-fi space-capsule vibe and loads of pop-off panels. Additional highlights embody a hot-swappable M.2 slot, as much as 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a few comparatively low-key RGB lighting.
As for pricing, the enjoyable kicks off at $2,999 however Acer hasn’t launched the complete harm for the RTX 4090 model of the Predator Orion X. It is possible in “if it’s important to ask, you in all probability cannot afford it” territory, nonetheless. Nonetheless, as these items go, this seems like a very effectively engineered effort. And that customized water-cooled RTX 4090 is a fairly trick, simply by itself.
In the meantime Acer has additionally introduced that it is getting in on the 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitor motion. The Acer Predator X34 V seems very prone to be primarily based on the identical Samsung QD-OLED panel because the Alienware AW3423DW (opens in new tab) and Philips Evnia 34M2C8600 (opens in new tab) .
The slight snag is that Acer is pricing it up at $1,299, which is considerably greater than the competitors.
It is arduous to compute what would justify that premium place. Any time you have obtained one thing much like however priced larger than an Alienware product, some reassessment is so as. However perhaps, simply perhaps, Acer is doing one thing particular and completely different to justify the value.
