Gigabyte AORUS 17X refreshed with a 16-core Intel Alder Lake-HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU

Gigabyte has beaten Intel to revealing the Core i9-12900HX, a 55 W processor that has 16 cores and a 5.0 GHz peak clock speed. The Core i9-12900HX will be available in the AORUS 17X YE, which also includes the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and a 360 Hz display.

I cannot emphasize this enough; DO NOT waste your money on an Aorus 17 series laptop from 2021 or 2022. The fan design is absolutely s*** and your GPU and CPU fans will die every 6 months if you use the laptop more than 3 or 4 hours per day.

Gigabyte do not respond to warranty or RMA requests so after months of waiting you will eventually end up replacing the fans yourself at your own cost at $100 bucks a pop only to have them fail again a few months later.

I am selling my Aorus 17G and just ordered an MSI GS77.

I'm not the only one with this issue either; there is an entire topic on Reddit with folks reporting their fans dying and the same issues getting any response from Gigabyte.
