The box measures 300mm long, 140mm broad, and 173mm high. It can be plugged in using the provided Thunderbolt 3 Type-C port. Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 is supported which can help in charging the laptop or other devices.

The WATERFORCE 3080 Ti packs a 240mm black aluminum radiator which is cooled by dual 120mm fans. There is a large copper base plate that entirely covers the core of the GPU and its surroundings.
To power the RTX 3080 Ti as well as everything else inside it, the AORUS Gaming Box comes equipped with an 80+ gold-rated 550W power supply unit that claims to have >90% efficiency while delivering the necessary power via dual 8-pin power connectors.
For connectivity, the Gaming Box comes with an Ethernet port, although the bandwidth has not been specified. There are also three USB 3.0 ports present.
