Information about the GeForce RTX 4080 Xtreme Ice GPU was first announced on social networks on April 1, making many people think it was just a joke. However, the Gigabyte Facebook page in Vietnam has just provided information about the product through a recent post and showed that the product launch date may happen soon. The combination of white on the black and yellow Aorus Xtreme design makes the GPU model look quite eye-catching but no less powerful.

A notable feature of the Aorus GeForce RTX 4080 Super Xtreme Ice 16G GPU is the significant GPU overclocking available. It has a turbo frequency of 2.7 GHz, which is 150 MHz higher than the reference value. Moreover, the new product offers the highest available GPU overclocking among all released versions of the RTX 4080 Super, which previously maxed out at 2670 MHz. Similar to the Gigabyte Aorus Master GPU models, the new product is equipped with an LCD screen, which can display information about GPU parameters in real time or display various animations.

Meanwhile, the Aorus Z790 Xtreme X Ice motherboard attracts attention with its gold-plated frame on the LGA 1700 socket. Gigabyte also equipped this motherboard with a large LCD screen located on the housing of the VRM power subsystem, displaying system information. The motherboard comes with a large cooling heatsink for the M.2 NVMe drive.

The space around the CPU socket as well as the RAM slots is covered by a transparent cover reminiscent of the water block of a liquid cooling system, however this is just a removable plastic decoration. All the main connectors inside the board are placed at a 90 degree angle on the right edge for easier assembly.
