Review: Aorus X5 v6

Benchmarks: Temperature and Noise

Aorus encourages reviewers to increase fan speed before running intensive benchmarks. We instead choose to test the laptop in its out-the-box state without any software modifications, and doing so reveals that the GPU can become hot and bothered under load. The X5 v6 kicks out plenty of hot air, resulting in an uncomfortably warm chassis and fan noise ranges from barely audible when idle to really quite loud when gaming.
