Acer has announced their latest lineup of gaming desktops and gaming monitors which is the Predator Orion X, Nitro XZ452CU V Ultrawide Monitor, and Predator X34 V Monitor.
Predator Orion X
The Predator Orion X can be configurated to be fully equipped with the latest hardware which includes:
- 13th Gen Intel i9-13900KS processor (24 cores, 32 threads)
- Liquid-cooled Nvidia GeForce RTX4090 GPU block (24gb of G6X memory)
- 32 GB DDR5 RAM
- two M.2 SSDs (up to 1 TB each)
Due to its heavy hitting hardware and small enclosure, the Predator Orion X stays cool through a number of ways. One such way is through the a custom-engineered liquid cooling module added on to the standard heat sink fans of the the RTX4090.
The Predator Orion X’s space capsule-inspired chassis weighs only 9KG (19.8 lbs) and features three special “zones” that allow for great customization freedom and easier access to the components inside. Zone 1 allows for a more direct access to the CPU, PSU and SSD while Zone 2 keeps the VGA and dual 2.5-inch SATA HDD slots. Zone 3 is where you would you find the 240 mm CPU liquid cooler that is strategically stationed near Zone 1.
The vital zones of the Predator Orion X are protected with metal side panels which is easily detachable through the use of a small latch for easy upgrading and comes with a headset rest in the form of a rotatable robotic-like arm.
For storage, on top of the two M.2 2400 SSDs mentioned earlier, the Predator Orion X also comes with an illuminated, hot swap NVME M.2 SSD drive bay for added capacity. The Predator Orion X also offers fast and seamless connectivity with Intel Killer E3100G and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX211 while also offering a generous amount of ports that includes:
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 (one Type-C and one Type-A)
- 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port
- 3x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A
- A mic and combo jack at the front
- 2x USB 2.0
- RJ45 located at the back
The Predator Orion X also comes with the PredatorSense 4.0 utility app, which allows for the monitoring of overclocking and customizing RGB lighting preferences using a personalized, interface geared around maximizing system’s potential.
